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 approach to specification development is "write once, adopt
everywhere", with the deliverables being a set of specifications
that carry the IEEE POSIX designation, The Open Group Technical
Standard designation, and the ISO/IEC designation. The current set
of specifications is simultaneously ISO/IEC 9945, IEEE Std 1003.1
and forms the core of the Single UNIX Specification.

The latest revision to the standard was published in January 2018.
It is a revision to the 2008 edition of the 9945 standard and
rolled-up the standard including its two technical corrigenda
(as-is), so as to avoid the standard timing out at IEEE in 2018.

The current activities are maintenance of ISO/IEC 9945, managing
defect reports and consideration of changes for the next revision.

The working group is now working on another revision expected to
complete in 2022. The project plan is available in the document
register as Austin/936 and Austin/937 (see
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html). The first committee
draft of the revision is expected to be available in 4Q2019.
