The Company Review process is the formal process by which The Open Group measures consensus around a document in order for it to become a standard of The Open Group. See Section 3.2.2 of the Standards Process. Reviewers are invited to review and submit proposed changes ("Change Requests") that would make the document acceptable to become a standard. A formal ballot then decides which changes are accepted.
The stages of a Company Review are as follows:
10.0 Company Review Announced
20.0 In the Company Review Period
30.0 At the Issue Resolution Stage
35.0 Balloting Period
38.0 Further Issue Resolution
39.0 Resolutions (being) Applied by the Editors
40.0 Sanity Review Period
47.0 Ready to Submit to Governing Board
48.0 Submitted to Governing Board
49.0 Approved by Governing Board
50.0 Submitted for Executive Approval
59.90 Approved Publication Pending
60.60 Published
