-
- Attached is a copy of the IEEE POSIX System Administration
- Standards Project Authorization Request (PAR). It briefly
- describes the scope and purpose of the proposed System
- Administration working group. In order to get this work started,
- we need to identify the resources and related activities that we
- can utilize.
-
- First, we need to establish the administrative responsibilities
- for this group. Listed below are the names of people who have
- indicated an interest in helping in the roles of Chair, Co-chair
- and Secretary. In addition, we are looking for volunteers for
- technical editor and technical reviewers. If you have
- recommendations for individuals who could help out in these areas
- we would appreciate your input. This effort will probably have
- just one main group. In general, the Chair and Co-chair roles
- are best served by persons with management experience. Strong
- technical experts are better able to advocate positions as
- members rather than from the chair. There is a slight preference
- to have users serve as chairs where we can find supported
- candidates. All of these roles should be supported by the
- individual's employeer, since there is a need for attendance, and
- also for other activities that take time. For example,
- chairpersons attend IEEE Computer Society Standards Coordinating
- Committee (SCC) meetings (two days long, twice a year) and spend
- hours preparing documents for secretaries and technical editors.
- Identified to date are:
-
- Chair Steven Carter Bellcore
- Co-Chair Ken Faubel Apollo Computer, Inc.
- Co-Chair David Hinnant Northern Telecom, Inc
- Secretary Mark Colburn Analysts International Corp.
-
- Also, we realize that corporations and institutional
- representatives may be working on specifications that could be of
- use to this effort. If you are aware of a group doing work in
- this area that might be able to contribute proposals, please get
- that information back to me. Groups that have been identified so
- far include:
