The IEEE P1003 group will shortly be voting on a Unix user-to-kernel
interface standard. The balloting will begin November 11 and extend
through December 10.
If you are a member of IEEE or the IEEE Computer Society you can join
the committee and vote. (There are two levels of committee participation,
"working" and "balloting". A balloting member is informally bound to
accompany any negative vote with a meaningful comment.)
Those of you who are interested may contact the chairman:
Jim Isaak
P1003 Working Committee
Charles River Data Systems
983 Concord St.
Framingham, MA 01701
(net address unknown)
(I am posting this note merely to let people know what is happening.
Please do not flame if you have negative opinions of the IEEE work.)

If you're not on USENET but are on the ARPA Internet, the same messages are gatewayed to a mailing list which you can follow, and whose archives contain much information about schedules, what the various groups of the committee consist of, how to get copies of the draft, etc. Here is an update for [SRI-NIC]<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT which I just mailed: STD-UNIX@SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU List for the discussion of UNIX standards, particularly the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System Enviroment draft standard. The list is moderated, and corresponds to the newsgroup mod.std.unix on USENET. Archives may be retrieved from SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU (formerly known as UT-SALLY.ARPA) by anonymous FTP (login anonymous, password guest). The current volume is ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix, and previous volumes start with ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to STD-UNIX-REQUEST@SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU.
