RESOLUTION 93-232   Advancing POSIX Profiles Internationally

     Whereas POSIX-based profiles are being developed in IEEE
     PASC, and

     Whereas such profiles may be of interest to SC22/WG15,

     Therefore SC22/WG15 requests its member bodies to report
     any concerns, issues and recommendations on international
     advancement of this work to SC22/WG15.

RESOLUTION 93-233   Requirements on Specification Methods

     the choice of specification methods for projects
     JTC1.22.21, JTC1.22.39, and JTC1.22.42:

     1.   To provide a clear and authoritative functional
	  specification for POSIX services, and

     2.   To provide coordination and consistency between
	  multiple language bindings to the same services,

     and reaffirms the following related objectives:

     3.   To support easier and faster development of language
	  bindings,

     4.   To support the development of language bindings that
	  are appropriate for each programming language,

     5.   To support the development of language bindings by
	  independent Standard Development Organizations, and

     6.   To support the development of POSIX standards in a
	  timely and efficient manner.
