A comment spreadsheet is populated and owners have been proposed. This is posted on our private Twiki.

Recommendations for the disposition of each comment will be sent to the working group by the respective owner as soon as possible, preferably this week. Many comments will be addressed in annotated PDFs. Dave will check or create as needed, consistency between IEEE spreadsheets and PDFs.
