4.1 Joint RGCPA and RIN Meeting

There was a joint meeting between RGCPA and RIN to consider the action item 9305-52 (review N386 and report back to WG15). N386 had not yet been distributed. The document is "Guide to Writing National POSIX Profiles" and how to include National standards. What National Bodies should do to generate National Body conformance to POSIX. The final document would be a TR of about 200 pages. Since it is such a large document, it should be surfaced as a NWI to SC22. The new work proposal is N387. There were minor changes made to N387. RGCPA will support the submission of a NP (based on N387). See resolution 9310-04.

Attachment 2

RGCPA Resolutions List

9310-01 P1003.0 CD Registration
Whereas Draft 16 of P1003.0 is in ballot recirculation within IEEE, and
Whereas WG15 RGCPA believes that the following proposed changes to Draft 16 will address the concerns raised by SC22:-

Title Changes to "Guide to the POSIX Open System Environment"

Change Section 3 "modify any unqualified use of the term OSE in this document to be qualified by the term POSIX, so that it reads POSIX OSE.".

Therefore WG15 RGCPA requests that the US development body submit the updated Draft 16 (16.1) if it can be produced in a timely manner, to SC22 for CD registration. We further request that the US Member Body do everything possible to expedite the production of P1003.0 Draft 16.1. If Draft 16.1 cannot be produced in a timely fashion then Draft 16 should be submitted with a cover letter explaining the changes that will be made.

9310-02 P1003.0 CD Registration
Whereas Draft 16 of P1003.0 has been forwarded to SGFS for information, and
Whereas WG15 RGCPA believes that the following proposed changes to Draft 16 will address the concerns raised by SC22:-

Title Changes to "Guide to the POSIX Open System Environment"

Change Section 3 "modify any unqualified use of the term OSE in this document to be qualified by the term POSIX, so that it reads POSIX OSE.".

Therefore WG15 RGCPA requests WG15 to forward a cover letter to SGFS explaining the changes as specified above.

9310-03 Use of Named Option
Whereas it may be required to allow optional behaviour within a standard, and
Whereas it must be possible for profiles to refer to these options by name, and
Whereas a WG15 resolution has been approved requiring all standards to include an Annex listing all options,
Therefore, RGCPA requests WG15 to request the US member body to report back on the status of the Option Annex. RGCPA recommends that the number of options be limited to the absolute minimum and that if they are required then they be "named" options.

9310-04 WG15 Profiles
Whereas profiles, which only reference POSIX standards, are already under development within the US POSIX development body, and
Whereas it can be expected that these profiles soon will reach the state at which they can be registered as ISPs (POSIX ISPs), and
Whereas the procedures adopted by the US developing body and WG15 governing the development and adoption of POSIX base standards (ballot process, synchronization plan) can be applied to POSIX ISPs as well,
Therefore WG15 RGCPA requests WG15 to instruct the WG15 convener to ensure that

the development of POSIX ISPs is within the scope of WG15, and

NP proposals for POSIX ISPs will be developed and approved in close cooperation with SGFS and the regional workshops in areas of Profile identifiers, scope of the profile and taxonomy issues, and

SC22, in cooperation with SGFS, can and will administer the ballot for these POSIX ISPs. It is understood that addtional procedures within SC22 and/or SGFS may be necessary.

9310-05 Review of N386
Whereas the work outlined in N386 is too substantial to be considered as an addition to "Guide to the POSIX Open System Environment", and
Whereas the expertise required to develop this document does not reside within the P1003.0 Working Group, and
Whereas including this work within the scope of P1003.0 at this point in time would seriously impact the progress of current document,
Therefore RGCPA supports the submittal of an NP to produce a TR titled "Guide to Writing National POSIX Profiles".

9310-06 Disposition of Comments for P1003.0
Whereas it is anticipated that the "Guide to the POSIX Open System Environment" will be submitted to SC22 for CD registration, and
Whereas international comments are expected from this registration ballot,
Therefore WG15 RGCPA requests WG15 to assign the work of reviewing the comments and the preparation of the disposition of comments to WG15 RGCPA.

9310-07 Thanks to Host
The WG15 RGCPA thanks the IEEE for hosting the RGCPA meeting.

9310-08 Thanks to Chair
The WG15 RGCPA thanks Mr. Arnie Powell for chairing the meeting.

9310-09 Thanks to Secretary
The WG15 RGCPA thanks Mr. Ron Elliott for acting as secretary for the meeting.

9310-10 Thanks to Drafting Committee
The WG15 RGCPA thanks Mr. Peter Owens, Mr. Kevin Lewis and Mr. Willem Wakker for participating on the drafting committee.

RGCPA ISSUES List

OPEN Issues List

9105-02 What is the process for ensuring that user requirements are fully taken into account in profile harmonization
A paper from the UK (DISC) was used as basis for discussion (RGCPA N010). It was suggested that everything be left to SGFS and RGCPA should concentrate on coordination, not investigation. Action 9201.01 and 9201.04 raised to deal with forwarding N010. No feedback received as of 9210 meeting. Action 9310-09 raised.
Status: Open

9105-06 There are no standards for how standards should be subsetted. The "no subsets allowed" principle established by SGFS may not be sufficient.
Reworded at 9201 meetign to read:
What approach, if any, is appropriate for subsetting of WG15 base standards.
PASC has an ad-hoc working on this subject to report back to PASC in 01/94.
Status: Open.

CLOSED Issues List

9105-01 Should this group take any action to influence the JTC1 work on organization?
Status:                    Closed by resolution 9105-04

9105-03 How can functional profiles be constructed in areas where standardization work is incomplete, and where there are insufficient standards fully to meet the user need.
Status:                    Closed at 9305 meeting. Resolution 9210.03 (WG15 92-210 (WG15 N326) and action item 9210-49)

9105-04 Is there a hierarchy of standardization, in which ISO standards are used by everyone, and built upon by regional bodies, national bodies and user groups in order to meet local needs?
Status:                    Closed. Passed to SGFS

9105-08 Is it permitted in a profile specification referring to WG15 standards to give a defintion to an option which in the standard was "implementation defined", "undefined", etc.
Status:                    Closed at 9305 meeting. This is not allowed by TR10000 Part 1.

9201-10 Should profiles referring to WG15 standards also refer to OSI standards?
Status:                    Closed. If appropriate then they will be referred to.

9105-05 There is no unifying framework for Application Environment profiles. The lack of one makes standards profiling less effective, and harder, than it could be.
Status:                    Closed at 9310 meeting. SGFS is doing the workk in this area.

9105-07 Should the use of named options be discouraged
Closed at 9105 meeting.
Revisited at 9201 meeting and reworded:
Should the use of named options in POSIX standards be encouraged
There is not sufficient information available at this time to make a recommendation to POSIX. We feel that options should be discouraged but if they are there then they should be named options.
Status:                    Closed at 10/93 meeting. See resolution 93/02.

9201-09 Is WG15 expecting to own any profiles, and if so how are they harmonized?
Reference in the 9201 minutes to Action Item 9102-20 (cannot be found)
Status:                    Closed at 9310 meeting. Resolution 9305-01 was forwarded to WG15. (WG15 Resolution 93-232). See resolution 9310-03.

9105-01	Should this group take any action to influence the JTC1 work on organization? Status: Closed by resolution 9105-04

9105-03	How can functional profiles be constructed in areas where standardization work is incomplete, and where there are insufficient standards fully to meet the user need. Status: Closed at 9305 meeting. Resolution 9210.03 (WG15 92-210 (WG15 N326) and action item 9210-49)

9105-04	Is there a hierarchy of standardization, in which ISO standards are used by everyone, and built upon by regional bodies, national bodies and user groups in order to meet local needs? Status: Closed. Passed to SGFS

9105-08	Is it permitted in a profile specification referring to WG15 standards to give a defintion to an option which in the standard was "implementation defined", "undefined", etc. Status: Closed at 9305 meeting. This is not allowed by TR10000 Part 1.

9201-10	Should profiles referring to WG15 standards also refer to OSI standards? Status: Closed. If appropriate then they will be referred to.

9105-05	There is no unifying framework for Application Environment profiles. The lack of one makes standards profiling less effective, and harder, than it could be. Status: Closed at 9310 meeting. SGFS is doing the workk in this area.

9105-07	Should the use of named options be discouraged Closed at 9105 meeting. Revisited at 9201 meeting and reworded: Should the use of named options in POSIX standards be encouraged There is not sufficient information available at this time to make a recommendation to POSIX. We feel that options should be discouraged but if they are there then they should be named options. Status: Closed at 10/93 meeting. See resolution 93/02.

9201-09	Is WG15 expecting to own any profiles, and if so how are they harmonized? Reference in the 9201 minutes to Action Item 9102-20 (cannot be found) Status: Closed at 9310 meeting. Resolution 9305-01 was forwarded to WG15. (WG15 Resolution 93-232). See resolution 9310-03.

Expected End Date:	End 1994
Status:	Reviewed drafts 15 & 16. (Resolution 9310-01).

Expected End Date:	End 1995
Status:	Current liaisons with SGFS, Regional Workshops, EWOS, CCTA, NIST, P1003.0, IEEE PASC, X/Open. Profiles are under development but none are yet completed.
