DRAFT




			Danish comments on WG15 N352r
		   ISO WG15 - IEEE PASC Syncronization Plan

			     u22a11 POSIX WG
			  Danish Standards (DS)

		   Prepared for the WG15 meeting in May-93


1. Introduction

We have two comments/proposals:

(1) Distribution af PAR's with scope

(2) Distribution af Working Drafts


2. Distribution / Approval of PAR

As mentioned under "2. Processing stages up to final adoption" one the
early stages of a POSIX project is the definition of scope etc. and
approval of an IEEE PAR. We believe that ISO and IEEE procedures should
be syncronized somewhat at this "relevant processing stage" by the
distribution of the PAR for review and comment in WG15 (or SC22). To do
this in a timely fashion, discussion and resolutions should by made by
email/fax.

The objectives are quit natural:

- improve visibility in ISO

- improve coordination between ISO SC22 and IEEE PASC
  especially regarding the scope and document structure

- make it possible for WG15 and other WG's in ISO to develop
  relevant, syncronized NP's where needed and to PLAN

With this it should be possible to send ISO SC22/WG15 comments to IEEE PASC
before the approval of a PAR.


3. Distribution of working drafts

Regarding "1. Availability of Working Documents" and "2.2.6 Early Working
draft distribution (1.1)" we believe that the ISO Working Draft mechanism
should be used much more extensively to distribute IEEE PASC/WG drafts.

Increased visibility, partipation (?) AND most important registration
of selected drafts as official ISO documents. I.E. this is what we are
working on / considering.

We suggest that the distribution as a WD should occur at relevant intervals
not including neccesarily ALL IEEE WG drafts, but beginning from draft no. 1
or such. Often the interval would be once every 6-18 months (usually shorter
than a year probably).
