ISO/IEC 9945 Project Editor Status Report               Austin-373  Page 1

Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group.              July 30, 2007

ISO/IEC 9945 is developed and maintained by the Austin Common Standards
Revision Group (CSRG), a joint technical working group that brings together
the technical experts from ISO JTC1, IEEE and The Open Group.

Work continues on the revision to ISO/IEC 9945.

The ISO Editing group met co-joint with the Austin Group at IBM  in Austin,
Texas, USA  on February 27 - March 1 2007 to review comments received on the
ISO CD registration ballot for the revision of the 9945 standard.
All the ISO comments were accepted and will be acted upon in future drafts.

The Austin Group proposed at that meeting to change the organization of the
document produced such that it will be a single very large pdf file,
previously it had been produced as four separate parts. This is to further
emphasize that this is a single standard.  Following on from that an ISO
ballot was held to consider the merger of the four parts of 9945 into a
single part. This was approved towards the end of June 2007. A new draft
with all the parts merged, draft three has now been issued for FCD ballot

(SC22 N4217).

The Austin Group continues to work on issues related to ongoing defect
reports and comments against the draft standard and expects to complete the
standard in time for approval in late 2008.

Respectfully submitted,
Andrew Josey
ISO 9945 Project Editor
