What We Do
A wide spectrum of Forum participants, including commercial, government, and open source interests, are working on:

The Single UNIX Specification
Extending existing specifications, providing new interpretations of the specifications and correcting any identified errors, as well aligning the specifications with the IEEE Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX®) and ISO/IEC standards.
