It's been a while since this has been circulated, and some people have
expressed an interest in joining this effort:

To Join the IEEE POSIX Ada Binding Committee:
	There are no formal membership requirements.  Contact the
Secretary, Dave Emery (emery@mitre-bedford.arpa) (MITRE, MS A156,
Bedford, MA 01730).  I need your name, address, phone number and an
email address (email not required, but it helps).  To get on the
posix-ada mailing list, send email to 
posix-ada-request%grebyn.com@umd5.umd.edu.  The other thing to do is
show up at the meetings and do work.  To actually vote on the standard
you must be an IEEE member.  You do not have to be an IEEE member to
work on the standard.

To Get IEEE POSIX documentation and attend IEEE POSIX Meetings:
	This costs money.  The money pays for the mailing overhead and
also for meeting costs.  The fee schedule depends on what mailings and
meetings you attend, and runs in the ballpark of $100 to $400.
Contact Quin Hahn (CDC, M/C HQC01P, P.O. Box 0, Minneapolis MN
55440-4700) (612 853-8848).  

The next POSIX-Ada Meeting:
	The next meeting of the P1003.5 Ada Language Binding to POSIX
Working Group will be 7 - 9 Sep 88 at the Compri Hotel, 2700 Pilot
Knob Rd, Eagan, MN.  The hotel is 5 miles east of the Minneapolis/St.
Paul Airport.  Anyone wishing to attend should contact Suzanne
Lindquist, 612-782-7513 no later than 22 Auguest 88.  Reservations may
be made directly with the hotel by calling 612-454-3434.  The tenative
agenda will focus on discussion of each chapter as assigned at the
Houston meeting.  

The next IEEE POSIX Committee (POSIX-Ada's Parent Organization) Meeting:
	The next meeting of IEEE P1003 will be 24 - 28 October 1988 at
the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, 2424 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815, Tel
number 808-922-9292.  Reservation cutoff date is September 22, 1988.
IEEE receives special rates of eiter $100.00 for "run-of-mountain"
accommodations or $145.00 for "run-of-ocean" accommondations.  (I not
sure what that is suppose to mean) Classic Conferences sets up our
meetings.  Questions or problems can be taken care of by contacting
them at Foster City, CA, tel 415-349-5484.  We also get a discount of
40% from normal coach fare with United or Delta Airlines.  To get the
special rate, call United at 800-521-4041, and give them the IEEE
account number 8092N.  To get the special rate with Delta, call
800-241-6760 and give them IEEE account number E0333.  There are
restrictions to both these arrangements.  Travel must commence between
October 22-30 for United and October 21-28 for Delta.  Additionally,
with Delta only, the maximum stay is 21 days.  There will not be a
formal meeting of the 1003.5 Ada Binding Comittee at this meeting, but
representatives of the Ada Binding Committee will attend.  There will
be a meeting of the 1003.4 Real-Time Committee, and they are very
interested in discussing Ada issues at this meeting.  

Contact me for more information.
