Not necessarily, Austin/SD6 
(https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_sd6.txt) lays out the Committee 
Maintenance Procedures for the Approved Standard, and there is a section on new 
work items.

So a proposal could advance that way, and lead to a separate standard adopted 
by one of the sponsoring organizations, and later adopted to issue 9. 
 
Over the years we have progressed a number of new API sets this way, before 
they went into the main standard ( the Extended API Sets Parts 1..4, and the 
Additional APIs for the Base Specifications Issue 8 Parts 1 and 2).
