* SC22 Status

Keld had joined the meeting to report on the recent SC22 meeting he had
attended in Toronto. SC22 has some confusion about the status of the
Austin Group. Nick and Keld will take an action to contact the SC22
chair to clarify the status.

* Old Business

An open action is to identify Issue 7 interpretations with non
controversial changes.

Geoff has completed about half of these so far. There are about 30
that remain to process.  Don volunteered to take on 10 of these.
Geoff will send a list to Don. Others who want to volunteer should
contact Geoff.

* We picked up on regular Bug processing

Bug 0000249: Add standard support for $'...' in shell OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249

Don agreed to take an action to propose the changes to address
supporting \u and \U.

Bug 0000302: Changes needed to account for uselocale()  Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=302
An interpretation is required. It was agreed to tag this item as
a TC1-2008 candidate.


Interpretation response

The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction
can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This
is being referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:

These changes were overlooked during the revision when per-thread
locales were added.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
See the Desired Action (of the original submission)

Bug 0000306: utimensat() missing EINVAL error  Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=306

It was agreed that no interpretation is required, and that this
should be tagged as a TC1-2008 candidate.

Bug 0000307: O_CREAT with O_SEARCH  Accepted as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=307

It was agreed that no interpretation is required and that this
should be tagged as a TC1-2008 candidate.

Add the following text to the end of the first paragraph of RATIONALE
at the end of P1385, L45427:

    "Not all combinations of flags make sense.  For example, using
     O_SEARCH | O_CREAT will successfully open a pre-existing directory
     for searching, but if there is no existing file by that name, then it is
     unspecified whether a regular file will be created. Likewise, if a
     non-directory file descriptor is successfully returned, it is unspecified
     whether that descriptor will have execute permissions as if by O_EXEC
     (note that it is unspecified whether O_EXEC and O_SEARCH have the
     same value)."



And then move the entire paragraph from RATIONALE to APPLICATION
USAGE after P1385, L45424.

Next Steps
----------
The next call will be on October 7th at 16:00 UK time/08:00 Pacific and
