The POSIX Advisory Group met in conjunction with the other Austin Group Organizations, February 21-24 2006, graciously hosted by the Standards Council of Canada, in Ottawa, Quebec. The primary business of the meeting was to commence the detailed revision of ISO/IEC 9945 (parts 1 through 4). The PAG included delegations from the US, and UK. One member from Norway was also present. The Canadian delegation took part in the plenary meetings, but were not present during the PAG specific breakout. 2. The group laid out a plan for the revision of ISO/IEC 9945 that will include 4-5 drafts, and with a final ballot closure in 2008. The project editor has called for nominations to form an editing group. The PAG advises SC 22 to take all appropriate steps to ensure that this revision takes place[, including approval of this editing group if required]. It is not clear from the JTC 1 directives whether or not a NWI or division of work to conduct a revision[, and historically SC 22 has not required such an action]. In the event that such an action is believed necessary, the PAG advises SC 22 to support such an action. = The PAG notes that TR 24715 and IS 23360 have both been offered to the Austin Group plenary as input documents for the revision process, for the purposes of conflict resolution only. 3. During the plenary meeting, the joint group considered TR 24715 (Conflicts between ISO/IEC 9945 and the LSB) and ISO/IEC 23360 (the LSB) while looking for areas where the two standards could be further harmonized. Arising from this discussion, a suggestion was made in the PAG that SC 22 should ask for the free availability of TR24715 and of IS 23360. Neither of these documents are in the direct remit of the PAG. However, they both have deserving justification for such a = request, and therefore PAG advises SC 22 to consider such requests at their next plenary meeting (London, September 2006). The Project Editors for both documents are also members of the PAG, and both agreed to independently request free availability of their respective documents. 4. The PAG considered SC 22 resolution 05-20. This resolution asks for Project Editor action, and as a result does directly require PAG action. However, the PAG discussed this with the Project Editor, who has called for volunteers to handle the registry. Mr Keld Simonsen has volunteered, and the PAG therefore recommends that SC 22 request that Mr Simonsen continue to run this service. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6B571.DF77795E Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable N 4104 - POSIX Advisory Group Report to the September 2006 SC 22 = Plenary
