RESOLUTION 93-248 Tasks to be assigned to RGSEC Whereas WG15 recognizes the value of the following:- a. The compilation of a list of standards bodies engaged in developing security related standards. The scope of organizations to be included is (1) ISO/IEC bodies, (2) other standards organizations recognized by ISO/IEC, (3) organizations with liaison to JTC1 or its subcommittees, and (4) national governments. b. The compilation of a list of existing standards related to security developed by the bodies identified in (a), including a brief description of each standard. c. The compilation of a list of standards development efforts related to security ongoing in the bodies identified in (a), including a brief description of the scope of each such effort. d. The preparation of an estimate of the time required to prepare a report indicating the overlap of these identified standards and efforts on all ongoing or proposed WG15 work items Therefore WG15 assigns tasks a, b, c, and d to the RGSEC to be completed by the May 1994 WG15 meeting. The deliverables for these tasks will be written reports. RESOLUTION 93-249 Request for participation in RGSEC Whereas the RGSEC has requested a call for support from members in RGSEC and that most of its work is done between WG15 meetings, Therefore,  WG15 requests its members to identify individuals to participate in RGSEC.  Notes that this participation can be limited to active involvement in electronic mail forums, which includes the performance of subtasks and the submission of reports via electronic mail to the RGSEC.  Requests its members to contact the Lead Rapporteur, (Jon Spencer:- spencerj@dg-rtp.com), for Security to report the names of those individuals who will participate. RESOLUTION 93-250 Approval of Terms of Reference of RGCT Whereas SC22/WG15 action item 9305-38 has instructed the Lead Rapporteur to review the Terms of Reference of their rapporteur group and report back to WG15, SC22/WG15 approves N439 as RGCT's Terms of Reference, Program of Work and Plans and Deliverables, as a replacement for SC22/WG15 N061. RESOLUTION 93-251 Revision of Conformance Testing Reference Model for OSE (WG15 N347) Whereas SC22/WG15 per resolution 93-237 has forwarded WG15 N347 to SC22, and Whereas SC22 has instructed the SC22 secretariat to forward a revised version of document SC22 N1403, Therefore SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward SC22/WG15 N423 as a revision of WG15 N347, to SC22 for distribution. RESOLUTION 93-252 Information about Open Systems Assessment Methodology (JTC1 N2612) Whereas JTC1 has produced a New Work Item Proposal on Open Systems Assessment Methodology (JTC1 N2612) which is going to National members for ballot; and, Whereas SC22/WG15 N394 requests a recommendation on this proposal from RGCT; and, Whereas SC22/WG15 RGCT has identified the following points: 1. The working draft in this proposal is simply ISO 9646-1 and no other input documents have been proposed. 2. This NP proposal overlaps DIS 13210 but there is no acknowledgement of this draft standard's existence or content. 3. The NP proposal doesn't identify a liaison with IEEE/CS/PASC although a number of other liaisons have been proposed with non-ISO bodies (e.g., ITU-TS, EWOS, OIW, AOW, OMG, X/Open, NMF and the Internet Society). 4. The application of existing OSI Assessment Methods to the whole of OSE will not achieve the desired results identified in the proposed NWI scope. Therefore SC22/WG15 recommends its members reject JTC1 N2612. RESOLUTION 93-253 File System Safe UTF Usage. Whereas SC22/WG15 notes SC22 Resolution BQ: File System Safe-Universal Transfer Format, and Whereas SC22/WG15 has determined that FSS UTF (UTF-2) is a necessary prerequisite for ISO 10646 to be accommodated into the ISO 9945 POSIX family of standards, Therefore SC22/WG15 requests the US to either reference FSS UTF (UTF-2) as a normative specification or incorporate it as a normative specification in the appropriate POSIX standards currently under development. RESOLUTION 93-254 Forwarding of NP for Guidelines for POSIX National Profiles and Locales (WG15 N387) SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward WG15 N387R, together with any supportive document that may be deemed useful (WG15 N386) to SC22 for a consultative letter ballot, and then for JTC1 NP ballot if approved. SC22/WG15 also recommends that the proposed work item be progressed separately from the "Guide to the POSIX OSE" work item. RESOLUTION 93-255 Guide to POSIX OSE - PDTR Registration Whereas Draft 16 of P1003.0 is in ballot recirculation within IEEE, and Whereas SC22/WG15 believes that the following proposed changes to Draft 16 will address the concerns raised by SC22:-  Title Changed 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.", and Whereas the US has successfully expedited the production of P1003.0 Draft 16.1 Therefore SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward P1003.0 Draft 16.1 to SC22 for PDTR registration. RESOLUTION 93-256 Guide to POSIX OSE - SGFS Information Whereas P1003.0 Draft 16 has been forwarded to SGFS for information, and is superceeded by Draft 16.1, and Whereas SC22/WG15 believes that the following proposed changes to Draft 16, incorporated in Draft 16.1, address the concerns raised by SC22:-  Title Changed 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 SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward a letter to SGFS, before their November meeting, explaining the changes as specified above. RESOLUTION 93-257 Profiles to be developed by WG15 Whereas profiles, which reference POSIX standards, are under development within the US, and Whereas it can be expected that these profiles soon will reach the state at which they can be registered as ISPs, and Whereas the procedures adopted by the US and SC22/WG15 governing the development and adoption of POSIX Based standards (i.e., synchronization plan, WG15 N352) can apply to ISPs, Therefore SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to:  request SC22 to include the development of ISPs within the scope of SC22/WG15, and Therefore  SC22/WG15 notes that its NP proposals for 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/WG15 notes that its ISPs will be consistent with TR10000, and  SC22/WG15 recognizes that additional procedures within SC22 and SGFS may be necessary. RESOLUTION 93-258 Disposition of Comments on PDTR for the Guide for POSIX OSE Whereas it is anticipated that the "Guide to the POSIX Open System Environment" will be submitted to SC22 for PDTR registration, and Whereas international comments are expected from this registration ballot, Therefore SC22/WG15 requests the US to invite WG15 RGCPA to assist in the work of reviewing the comments and the preparation of the disposition of these comments. RESOLUTION 93-259 New Project Editor SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to requests SC22 to hold a letter ballot to approve the nomination of Mr. Jon Spencer as the SC22/WG15 Project Editor for the projects assigned to WG15.

By express delivery to those National Body designated recipients whose delegations attend SC22/WG15 meetings, 2. By regular delivery to those National Body designated recipients whose delegations are participating in SC22/WG15 meetings but do not regularly attend meetings and who have responded to the SC22/WG15 mailing address confirmation, 3. To drop those National Bodies of SC22/WG15 from the distribution list who have not responded to the SC22/WG15 mailing address confirmation. These are Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Russia. RESOLUTION 93-262 WG15 response to SC22 Resolution BL Whereas SC22 resolution BL requests WG15 to review the Title, Scope and Objectives of P1003.0 "Guide to the POSIX OSE", Therefore, SC22/WG15 has reviewed the Title, Scope and Objectives of Draft 16.1 of the "Guide to the POSIX OSE" and has ensured them to be consistent with the current Work Item. RESOLUTION 93-263 ISO Guide 25 Work Whereas SC22/WG15 is aware of ISO Guide 25 work (JTC1 N2527, ISO Project 21.61) on Interpretations and the applicability of these interpretations to the whole of IT&T, being undertaken by SC21, and Whereas SC22/WG15 is concerned that the stated scope (software and communications testing services) is far broader than the actual scope (OSI testing services) of the current document, and Whereas SC22/WG15 believes that in order to expand the document to address the stated scope requires a significant amount of additional work, and Whereas SC22/WG15 believes the document may significantly affect and overlap with SC22/WG15 work, Therefore, 1) SC22/WG15 instructs their convener to notify Mr. Brian Meek, the SC22 representative to the ISO Guide 25 meeting, of these concerns, and 2) SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to request an extension of the deadline for responses, to a date which is after the May 1994 SC22/WG15 meeting, and 3) SC22/WG15 requests SC21 to advise SC22/WG15 on all actions, related to conformity assessment, which affect the SC22/WG15 work. RESOLUTION 93-264 Ballot Disposition of Comments SC22/WG15 instructs its Project Editor to conduct editing meetings for the purpose of preparing proposed disposition of comments on SC22 or JTC1 Ballots. It is understood that this instruction includes calling meetings, in coordination with Rapportteur groups if appropriate, for ballot comment disposition and that SC22/WG15 retains approval authority for the disposition of comments. RESOLUTION 93-265 Appreciation of Mr. Hal Jesperson SC22/WG15  records the enormous debt of gratitude that it owes to its first project editor, Mr Hal Jesperson, for the very many services to SC22/WG15 that he has provided since before the inception of the working group in 1987,  expresses its warmest good wishes for his future career.
