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

The ongoing activities are maintenance of the
Austin Group specification, which is simultanously  ISO/IEC 9945:2009,
IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 and The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7.
The most recent milestone has been completion of Technical
Corrigendum 1 to the latest edition of the specification. This has been
approved by ISO/IEC (Aug 2012), The Open Group (Oct 2012) and IEEE (Feb 2013).
At the time of writing this is in the publication process.

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,
