Minutes of the 24th July 2023 Teleconference Austin-1331 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. 25th July 2023 Attendees: Andrew Josey, The Open Group Don Cragun, IEEE PASC OR Mark Ziegast, SHware Systems Dev. Geoff Clare, The Open Group Eric Ackermann, HPI, University of Potsdam Eric Blake, Red Hat, The Open Group OR Apologies Nick Stoughton, Logitech/USENIX, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 OR Tom Thompson, IEEE * General news The meetings on July 27 will be webex meetings. The meeting on July 31 is undecided whether a zoom or webex. Andrew took an action to email Nick to check his availability to host a zoom call. Andrew confirmed he has submitted the ISO/IEC Organizational Representative report to SC22 for their September 2023 virtual meeting, and also the 1003.1 status report to the PASC SEC. Andrew has sent a position on the organization and style of the document to ISO/IEC who may question why it does not conform fully to their directives. This was supported by the SC22 chair. Andrew has prepared draft dispositions to the review comments from ISO and also IEEE. These have been circulated to the core team for initial review. We discussed draft planning and also whether we will need a PAR extension. We noted that we want to address low impact issues that are still open, including at least a revisit to the long term open issues. We noted that in some cases this will mean some triage on the items, with some being pushed to 202x-TC1 or left open still. Andrew has sent a status update to Tom Thompson, noting that the probability we will need a PAR extension has increased, as it is likely two more drafts will be needed. * Current Business Note for issue resolution all items are tagged for Issue 8 unless noted otherwise or disposition is reject or duplicate. Bug 1743: mailx: revert faulty change Accepted https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1743 We discussed this during the 2023-07-24 conference call and found bugnote:6342 ambiguous. It sounds like the submitter is unhappy with the proposed changes in the note. We are backing out the changes made in issue 8 as suggested in the desired action and look forward to a new bug report to address the issues raised in the note.
