Date: Tue, 02 May 95 17:32:15 N From: Willem Wakker Sender: wg15-uk-request@xopen.co.uk Here is a proposal for an SC22 NP on the development of ISPs. I suggest that we first discuss this in WG15, and then distribute it to SC22. Depending on the urge in WG15 to start the work, WG15 could propose either a letter ballot or discussion in September at the SC22 Plenary.

Scope: To initiate projects within SC22 for the development of OSE ISPs. These ISPs should primarily (but not necessarily exclusively) be based on (i.e. refer to) SC22 base standards or ISPs. Programme of work: One or more ISPs and/or ISP parts, to be developed under subdivisions of this Work Item. Relevant documents to be considered: TR 10000, JTC 1 N3232 Co-operation and liaison: SGFS and other SCs and/or WGs as appropriate. Preparatory Work offered with target date(s): It is to be expected that shortly after approval of this Work Item, a first subdivision will be proposed to SC22 by SC22/WG15 to work on ISPs for the POSIX standards. Within the IEEE, work is progressing on these POSIX profiles. Comments and recommendations to the JTC1 Secretariat: When approved, to be assigned to SC22 Justification: According to the JTC 1 Directives it is possible for JTC 1 SCs to submit ISPs to SGFS. In document JTC 1 N3232 a set of Guidelines (defining synchronization points between the SC process and the SGFS process) are given. This Work Item conforms to the Work Item as mentioned in Guideline 1 of N3232. Work Items to initiate the actual work on ISPs will be subdivisions of this Work Item, and will be proposed to SC22 on a case by case basis (Guideline 2). For each individual ISP, a justification will be given with the proposal for subdivision of work.
