ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 Resolutions Whistler, Canada 25-28.10.94 Resolution 94-285 PDTR 14252 'Guide to POSIX OSE' for DTR Registration In accordance with the synchronization plan which is in effect between IEEE and SC22/WG15, SC22/WG15: Approves the disposition of comments as distributed by the SC22/WG15 Project Editor (WG15 N519), and Instructs its Project Editor to forward the revised version of PDTR 14252 to the SC22 Secretariat for processing as a DTR. Resolution 94-286 Liaison Statement to SC21/WG4 SC22/WG15 instructs its liaison to SC21/WG4 to forward the following liaison statement to SC21/WG4. This is the response of SC22/WG15 to SC21/WG4 in regards to Issue 15, pages 45-46, Annex B (Issues), ISO/IEC CD 10164-18 (January 1994) "Information Technology -- Open Systems Interconnection - Systems Management - Part 18: Software Management Function". Issue 15 includes an assessment of the Software Management Function (SWMF) compared to the POSIX 1387.2 model with a request for SC22/WG15 to consider the assessment. SC22/WG15 agrees with the assessment of SC21/WG4 given in Issue 15, pages 45-46, Annex B (Issues), ISO/IEC CD 10164-18 (January 1994) "Information Technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Systems Management - Part 18: Software Management Function". The scopes of the two models are different and only a high level mapping is needed. Mapping between the two POSIX object classes (Software and Software File) and the two SWMF object classes (Software Unit and Executable Software) has been studied, and SC22/WG15 believes that a usable mapping is possible for both the object classes and their associated behavior. A copy of the ballot draft (Draft 13) of POSIX 1387.2 Software Administration has previously been transmitted to SC21/WG4 for information. Resolution 94-287 Termination of Liaison to JTC1/SC27, Security Techniques Whereas SC22/WG15 notes the absence of any volunteer to act as its liaison to JTC1/SC27, SC22/WG15 Resolves to terminate its liaison to JTC1/SC27, and Instructs its convener to request the SC22 Secretariat notify the SC27 Secretariat of that fact. Resolution 94-288 Editing Meeting and Resultant Disposition of Comments Reports Whereas SC22/WG15 Notes the likely completion of several of the ballot periods for its standards and amendments before SC22/WG15 is scheduled to meet again, and Acknowledges that expedited processing of disposition of comments reports is beneficial, Therefore SC22/WG15 Authorizes its Project Editor to hold editing meetings for the below-listed documents.

Resolution 94-290 Revision to proposed NP on POSIX National Profiles and Locales (SC22/WG15 N387R) Whereas: SC22 approved Resolution B at its 1994 meeting instructing SC22/WG15 to develop a revision of the proposed NP for POSIX National Profiles and Locales (reference SC22 N1625, SC22/WG15 N387R), and Whereas SC22/WG15 has reviewed comments on the proposed NP from the Netherlands, the UK and SGFS Therefore, SC22/WG15 approves document SC22/WG15 N387R2, entitled "Proposed NP for 'Guide for the Development of Profiles for POSIX Localization and POSIX Locales'", as its revision of the proposed NP for POSIX National Profiles and Locales, and SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward to the SC22 Secretariat, SC22/WG15 N387R2, together with appropriately modified "front matter" for distribution as a consultative letter ballot, and SC22/WG15 encourages IEEE PASC to generate a new PAR on this subject, and SC22/WG15 encourages IEEE PASC to cooperate as closely as possible with SC22/WG15 on the development of this project. Resolution 94-291 Establishment of Liaison to SWG-CA Whereas JTC1 has established a Special Working Group on Conformity Assessment (SWG-CA) and, SC22/WG15's program of work includes the development of test methods for its standards therefore, SC22/WG15 establishes a liaison with SWG-CA, and appoints Jerry Powell to be the SC22/WG15 Liaison to SWG-CA. Resolution 94-292 Use of Email SC22/WG15 Recognizes the value of extending its use of Email in doing its work, and Agrees to distribute SC22/WG15 documents whenever practicable via Email as well as on paper. Resolution 94-293 Forwarding of Draft Standards/Amendments/ Technical Reports SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward the following documents to JTC1/SC22 for Review and Comment: P1003.2b Shell and Utilities - Extensions Draft 10 P1003.1d System API - Real Time Extensions, Draft 9 Additional P1003.1i Technical Corrections to Real Time Draft 2 System API - Extensions P2003R Test Methods for Measuring Conformance Draft 5 to POSIX Standards Resolution 94-294 Conduct and Scheduling of SC22/WG15 Editing Meetings Whereas WG15 is aware of some concerns among its Member Bodies regarding the conduct and scheduling of its Editing Meetings, Therefore WG15 instructs its Project Editor as follows: That meetings shall be announced and conducted in accordance with the JTC1 Directives. That at least 4 weeks notice shall be provided for calling editing meetings. That meeting announcements shall be provided by electronic mail to the SC22/WG15 Email distribution list, and shall be provided by Fax to all Heads of Delegation who do not have recorded electronic mail addresses. That meetings may be conducted via teleconference. That all documents to be discussed at the editing meeting shall be made available to all participants at least 2 weeks before the meeting. That the disposition of comments developed during editing meetings may be distributed via the SC22/WG15 Email distribution list and shall be provided to the SC22/WG15 convener within 2 weeks of the end of the meeting. That SC22/WG15 retains approval authority for the disposition of comments developed during editing meetings, to be accomplished by either a 30-day SC22/WG15 Letter ballot or a SC22/WG15 Working Group meeting, unless otherwise authorized by a SC22/WG15 resolution That in the disposition of comments report the participants in the editing meeting shall be identified, as well as the resulting position, if known, of National bodies who balloted negative. That the Project Editor shall endeavor to ensure the widest possible participation in the editing meeting and shall take this into account when scheduling meetings.
