Austin Group Status/1003.1 Status Report       		Austin-1372 Page 1 of 1
Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group              December 19, 2023

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.

The latest revision to the 1003.1 standard was published in January 2018.
The current activities are development of a major revision, as well
as maintenance of the standard, and managing defect reports.

Draft 4 of the revision was made available in December 2023.
The draft can be obtained from the login page of the Austin Group at:
https://www.opengroup.org/austin/login.html

This draft is being submitted for The Open Group Company Review,
and the IEEE recirculation ballot.  The review/ballot at The Open
Group and IEEE will close on January 31 2024. The draft will also
be submitted to ISO/IEC for DIS ballot.

The Mantis project for reporting bugs for this draft is “Issue 8
drafts”, select Product Version “Draft 4”.

Since this is a recirculation draft, narrowing down rules apply and
only comments on sections of the document that have changed as a
result of the comments made against draft 3 will be accepted. Changes
are marked with change bars.

A separate report is available in the Austin Group document register
(Austin/1371) detailing the bug reports leading to changes in Draft
4.

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
