	      Information technology - Portable Operating System

	DAM registration and ballot.					**


Country: Canada
Comment:
    An incomplete document has been circulated for ballot and should be
    replaced by IEEE P1003.1g/D6.5 dated August 1996.  Only after reviewing
    the correct document will we be able to comment further on its
    contents.

    The August 1996 Draft 6.5 is the correct draft but there are still some
    outstanding issues that will be addressed as a result of the UK comments
    on this document.  If they substitute the correct draft and address the
    other national body (UK) comments then we can change our vote to approve.
Response:
    Accept. The correct draft appropriately amended was circulated.



Country: France
Comment:
    AFNOR voted "No".  Its vote would be reversed if compatibility
    problems between X/Open Networking Services (XNS) and IEEE POSIX
    Protocol Independent Interfaces (PII) which are related to 64 bits
    environments are resolved.
Response:
    Accept.  Co-ordination of the documents was done in the preparation
    of this draft.


Country: Germany
Comment:
    DIN voted "No" on the ballot until the complete draft is presented
    rather than the "diffs" draft that was originally circulated.
Response:
    Accept.


Country: UK
Comment:
    Concern for the co-ordination of the X/Open XNS document and POSIX
    PII drafts was expressed, with specific detailed descriptions
    of items to change presented.
Response:
    The draft was amended to account for all of the items in the
    UK response.
