Yasushi, I did not know that I was expected to send out a special notice.
I did send out mail a few months ago reminding WG15 members of their
action item to inform me of who would be attending.

	Action 9205-34: Member bodies to advise project editor of
	proposed attendance at the planned October IEEE 1003.2 meeting
	in Utrecht. Meeting will be convened as a 9945-2 ad hoc on Oct
	22,23 1992 if there is enough member body interest.

As you know, we have changed our meeting schedule to these 22-23 dates
to accommodate WG15 members.  We also did so because Keld told us in
Hamilton that he "might" be able to attend part of our meeting if it
was held at the end of the week, which it will be.

The agenda for the two days is:

	1.  Administrivia ...

	2.  Review proposals from Denmark and Japan for additions
	to POSIX.2b, as listed in Annex H.  [Note:  None have been
	received as of today.]

	3.  Review other POSIX.2b changes, including new pax format
	and changes already made in response to Danish and Japanese
	ballots.

	4.  Administrivia ...

If we receive no such proposals and get no participation in Utrecht, we
will be disappointed.  If proposals somehow arrive in Reading two days
later, they will not be able to be reviewed by the IEEE working group
for another three months and not be accompanied by any personal
interaction.  Thus, I estimate that the POSIX.2b schedule will slip a
minimum of six months.

Therefore, I hope we have adequate representation at the Utrecht
meeting from any WG15 members interested in keeping the POSIX.2b work
on the fast schedule requested by WG15 in Hamilton.

Best Regards,

Hal
