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(R) 1003.1 (and former 1003.2) standards,
ISO/IEC 9945, and the core of the Single UNIX Specification.

This group has a liaison to JTC 1/SC22 as it is the development
and maintenance body for the ISO/IEC 9945 standard.

The current activities are maintenance of ISO/IEC 9945:2003
including ISO/IEC 9945:2003/Cor-1:2004 and the recently 
approved ISO/IEC 9945:2009.

Its anticipated that in 2011 the group will prepare a first
technical corrigendum to the 2009 edition of the standard.

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 has adopted an online defect reporting system for
the latest two editions of the standard,
