The USENIX Board of Directors met 24-25 September.

They approved continuation of the USENIX half of funding of the
EUUG/USENIX ISO Monitor Project, which supports a representative
to the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG15 ISO POSIX committee meetings, and
written reports about them.  This is contingent on matching funds
from EUUG.

However, due to reduced discretionary funds, a proposal for continuance
of other USENIX standards activities was not funded.  Instead, $15,000
was approved for other standards activities for USENIX fiscal year 1991
(December 1990 through November 1991).  This money has not yet been
specifically allocated, but is intended for the snitch reports.
Proposals for funding of standards activities will be entertained if
received in time for the January board meeting; they must be sent to
the Berkeley USENIX office (Attn: Ellie Young, 2560 9th St, Suite 215,
Berkeley, CA 94710 or to ellie@usenix.org) by December.

The following USENIX standards activities will cease at the end of the
present funding, i.e., in November 1990:  Institutional Representation
to IEEE/CS TCOS (including POSIX working group attendance, proposals,
ballots, and procedural monitoring), membership in U.S. TAG to WG15,
liaison about standards with other user groups (such as UniForum, AUUG,
and JUS, although EUUG liaison may continue through the WG15 project),
moderation of newsgroup comp.std.unix and mailing list std-unix@uunet.uu.net,
and general standards political activity and correspondence.
