The Single UNIX Specification is freely available on the world wide web. You can read or download the UNIX specification at
http://www.unix-systems.org/version3/
You can join the group that develops the specs at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin. You'll see a large number of folks involved from the big players such Sun, IBM, thru the Linux companies, the BSD groups , government and other users.
The latest version is also IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX).
