Please make sure that your IEEE-SA membership is current, as of the closing date of this invitation, or that you have paid the per-ballot fee. Remember, anyone may ballot IEEE Standards. However, if you are not a member of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), you may participate by either becoming a member or with the payment of a per-ballot fee. Members of the IEEE Standards Association may participate in as many ballots as they wish. If you are an IEEE member, you may check your record by using your Web Account at: http://services1.ieee.org/membersvc/addservices/intro.htm . If you are not an IEEE-SA member, you can add IEEE-SA membership on this web page. If you are not an IEEE or IEEE-SA member you can join the IEEE-SA at: http://standards.ieee.org/sa-mem/join.html If you prefer to pay the per-ballot fee, please contact the IEEE-SA Balloting Center at sa-ballot@ieee.org ***** BALLOT ***** The Computer Society/Portable Applications Standards Committee invites you to ballot on the following: Title: Std. 1003.5-1999 Reaffirmation: IEEE Standard for Information Technology�POSIX � Ada Language Interfaces-Part 1: Binding for System Application Program Interface (API) Scope: This standard is part of the POSIX � series of standards for applications and user interfaces to open systems. It defines the Ada language bindings as package specifications and accompanying textual descriptions of the application program interface (API). This standard supports application portability at the source code level through the binding between ISO 8652:1995 (Ada) and ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (IEEE Std 1003.1-1996) (POSIX) as amended by IEEE P1003.1g/D6.6. Terminology and general requirements, process primitives, the process environment, files and directories, input and output primaries, device- and class-specific functions, language-specific services for Ada, system databases, synchronization, memory management, execution scheduling, clocks and timers, message passing, task management, the XTI and socket detailed network interfaces, event management, network support functions, and protocol- specific mappings are covered. It also specifies behavior to support the binding that must be proviced by the Ada. Purpose: See Scope. If you are interested in participating in this electronic ballot, you must respond by 2004-02-19, 11:59 PM Eastern Time by filling out the web-based form at http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/bsignup/0000709 Please Note: For your information, this standard is approximately 900 pages. ============================================= If you are NOT interested in participating, simply delete this e-mail. No further action is required. ============================================= PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS To participate, you must have access to the World Wide Web to submit a vote, to comment, and to download the draft. The draft will be posted in Adobe "PDF" document format. You will need a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader (5.0 or higher) to view or print the draft. If you do not have the program, it is freely available from Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html ============================================ OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BALLOTERS If you choose to participate in this electronic ballot you will be provided the URLs for the document and the ballot form once the ballot opens. You will typically have 30 days to review the document and return the ballot with your vote. The IEEE requires that a minimum of 75% of the balloting group return their ballots for the ballot to be valid. As such, by agreeing to participate in this ballot you have an *obligation* to respond. Failure to return a completed ballot may disqualify you from participating in future ballots. This obligation to respond described above does *not* apply to Recirculation Ballots, which are additional ballots that need to be voted on again. You only need to respond to a Recirculation Ballot if you wish to change your initial vote. If you do not respond to a Recirculation Ballot, your last recorded vote will be carried forward. To show our appreciation of your effort, the names of all voters will be listed in the front matter of the published standard. Your vote and your contact information will *not* be included. The paragraph above the balloting group listed will state "The following members of the balloting group voted on this standard. Balloters may have voted for approval, disapproval, or abstention." *****NEWS***** Go to our new Standards Development Online site for more information on standards development processes. This site consolidates the critical mass of standards development process and procedure information into one location on the IEEE-SA website. It also provides informative training modules and information for each step in the IEEE-SA standards development process. The site covers in detail how to initiate a standards project at the IEEE and how to write a standard. It covers the balloting or voting process of standards, as well as how standards get published and the various services the IEEE-SA offers to its standards development groups to help them get their standards out to market. http://standards.ieee.org/resources/development/index.html Please email your questions to the IEEE-SA Balloting Center at sa- ballot@ieee.org
