Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. June 14th 2007

The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical
working group that manages the joint specification that is  ISO/IEC 9945
(POSIX), IEEE Std 1003.1 and The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6.

Draft 3 of the revision is now available. This is the second feature
complete draft of the specification, and the first recirculation draft for
IEEE balloting.  Concurrent IEEE and ISO balloting will take place on this
draft.  Draft 3 totals 3718 pages .

Key changes to note for this draft are that the document has been
reformatted to be a single part at ISO/IEC and so the page numbers now run
sequentially through the whole document. Also, within the text this document
is now referred to as "POSIX.1-200x" since the document is targeted as a
standard across the three development bodies.

There is a two month review period within the Austin Group commencing June
15th and completing at 8am UK time on August 17th. A plenary review meeting
which is also an ISO Editors group meeting is being held during the week
commencing September 4th to process the comments arising from the Draft 3
review period. Comments should be sent to the review reflector and use the
aardvark comment format (see
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/format.html for more information).
