Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group.              May 21, 2016

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 parts 1 to 4, and the core of the Single
UNIX Specification.  The joint technical working group that brings
together the technical experts from ISO/IEC JTC 1, IEEE and The
Open Group.

The latest revision to the Austin Group specification was published
in 2008, with the first technical corrigendum published in 2013.

A second technical corrigendum has been in formal development since
mid 2015 -- the P1003.1-2008/Cor 2 Project authorisation request
was approved by IEEE on June 11 2015.

The draft has now completing balloting at The Open Group and at
IEEE.  No ISO balloting is occurring as ISO has indicated they will
accept the changes once the document is approved by IEEE, under the
ISO/IEEE Partner Standards Development Organization (PSDO) Cooperation
Agreement.

The Open Group ballot closed May 17 with all those voting accepting
the change request.  A sanity review has been announced that starts
on May 25 and closes on June 8.  After the sanity review the draft
will be submitted to The Open Group Governing Board for an email
approval.

At IEEE, the first recirculation ballot closed on May 16 2016, with
results as follows:

APPROVAL RATE:
The 75% affirmation requirement is being met. 19 affirmative votes
1 negative votes with comments 20 votes = 95% affirmative

For the 1 negative vote, we have resolved the issue and the balloter
confirmed by email that it is resolved.

P1003.1-2008/Cor2 (C/PA) "IEEE Draft Standard for Information
Technology - Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX(R)) -
Corrigendum 2" will be reviewed by RevCom for its meeting 29 June
2016.

The technical corrigendum document itself is a list of editorial
changes to the 2008 edition of the standard, as corrected by TC1
(2013).  A merged draft of the standard is also being prepared, the
final stages of which are to update the change history.

We anticipate approval of technical corrigendum 2 by IEEE and The
Open Group at the end of June 2016.

Respectfully submitted,
Andrew Josey
Austin Group Chair
