For more details see the USENET newsgroup mod.std.unix.  Submissions
to that newsgroup are seen by the committee.

If you're not on USENET but are on the ARPA Internet, the same messages
are gatewayed to a mailing list which you can follow, and whose
archives contain much information about schedules, what the various
groups of the committee consist of, how to get copies of the draft,
etc.  Here is an update for [SRI-NIC]<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT
which I just mailed:

STD-UNIX at SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU

   List for the discussion of UNIX standards, particularly the IEEE P1003
   Portable Operating System Enviroment draft standard.  The list is moderated,
   and corresponds to the newsgroup mod.std.unix on USENET.

   Archives may be retrieved from SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU (formerly known as
   UT-SALLY.ARPA) by anonymous FTP (login anonymous, password guest).
   The current volume is ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix, and previous volumes
   start with ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1.

   All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, 
   etc., should be sent to STD-UNIX-REQUEST at SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU.
