The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical
working group established to develop and maintain the core open
systems interfaces that are the POSIX® 1003.1 (and former 1003.2)
standards, ISO/IEC 9945, and the core of the Single UNIX Specification.
The working group brings together the technical experts from ISO
JTC1, IEEE and The Open Group.

Ongoing activities are development of a revision, as well
as maintenance of ISO/IEC 9945, and managing defect reports.
The target for completion of the revision is end of 2023.

The CD ballot for the revision closed at the end of May 2023.  The
comments received are being addressed and an updated draft is being prepared.
This updated draft will be submitted for DIS ballot later this year.

National Body experts wishing to be involved in the development of
this revision are welcome, and should contact either the OR (Nick
Stoughton) or chair of the WG (Andrew Josey).

The group meets regularly by teleconference to consider defect
reports and issues on the current approved standard. Minutes are
kept in the Document register at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html .

The group uses an online defect reporting system for maintenance
of the standard, see http://austingroupbugs.net

The next working group meeting is listed at
