Please note that this project has been assigned the ISO/IEC designation "24715". As there was no recommendation on the NP form for assignment of the project within SC 22, the results of this ballot are sent to the Linux Rapporteur Group Meeting for review and recommendation on where this project should be placed within SC 22. This recommendation will be subject to approval by SC 22. The Linux Rapporteur Group will not begin any technical work on the project. The NP summary of voting is located at: http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/def/n3694.pdf The PDTR summary of voting is below. The results of the PDTR registration and approval ballots indicate that this project has been approved as a PDTR.

Japan believes that the technical contents of the PDTR must refer to the version of LSB which the Free Standards Group submits to JTC 1 for transformation of the PAS to an international standard. Since no one knows what kind of changes may occur from the current version of LSB to a future version which FSG will submit, and since there should be no strong reason why JTC 1 need to register PDTR immediately, Japan would suggest to revise the WD once more in order to make the contents of the WD as conflict between ISO/IEC 9945 and the DIS of Linux standard, then register the new WD as PDTR. UK As this TR will be used in considering future revisions of the ISO/IEC 9945 standard (POSIX) and any standard resulting from PAS adoption of the Linux Standard Base specification, in order to harmonise their differences so far as is possible, the UK recommends that responsibility for both 9945 and ISO-related Linux activities be assigned to a single Working Group. __end of registration summary, beginning of approval summary_____ SUMMARY OF VOTING ON Letter Ballot Reference No: SC22 N3632 Circulated by: JTC 1/SC22 Circulation Date: 2003-08-29 Closing Date: 2002-11-29 SUBJECT: Summary of Voting on SC 22 N 3632, PDTR Approval of Technical Report on the Conflicts between the ISO/IEC 9945 (POSIX®) Standard and the Linux Standard Base Specification ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following responses have been received on the subject of approval: "P" Members supporting approval without comments 7 (China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Republic of Korea, Norway, Ukraine) P" Members supporting approval with comments 1 (UK) "P" Members not supporting approval 1 (Japan) "P" Members abstaining 3 (Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland) "P" Members not voting 14 (Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Finland, France, Ireland, DPR of Korea, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovenia, UK, USA) Japan Japan disapproves to make the current WD as PDTR, since more detailed description is needed to make the conflicts between ISO/IEC 9945 and LSB clear. For example, the WD says; 2.1.2 gethostbyname The LSB has its own definition of gethostbyname() and does not reference ISO/IEC 9945. The description points out that LSB does not refer to ISO/IEC 9945, but does not point out what technical conflicts exist between LSB's own definition and ISO/IEC 9945. Netherlands We recognize the identified conflicts, but are uncertain whether these are indeed all the conflicts or whether there are more. We abstain because we do have not the time, nor the expertise to assertain that the list is complete.
