The IEEE P1003 group will shortly be voting on a Unix user-to-kernel
interface standard.  The balloting will begin November 11 and extend
through December 10.

If you are a member of IEEE or the IEEE Computer Society you can join
the committee and vote.  (There are two levels of committee participation,
"working" and "balloting".  A balloting member is informally bound to
accompany any negative vote with a meaningful comment.)

Those of you who are interested may contact the chairman:
            Jim Isaak
