Hi Neil,

Is SV-AC allowed to meet to approve these changes?

Thanks,
Dmitry

Thank you for saying this, Neil. That backs up my initial response on this thread. These are editorial corrections, but have the potential of inadvertently altering the intent of the LRM. Hence the line-in-the-sand that I initially drew of requiring committee approval for making each change, no matter how trivial or obvious the change might seem.

Because these are editorial corrections and are not adding to or changing the standard, I am OK with making these corrections in the next draft. But I do want committee consensus on each change.

At this point in time the Editor is allowed to make purely Editorial changes.
It is up to the Editor to determine if he is comfortable making those changes on his own, without technical committee approval.

What you are referring to as "simple changes" to clauses 16 and 17 has caused at least one person to disagree with a few of the suggested changes.
It appears that those changes aren't as simple as you suggest.

Mantis 4002 has been moved back to the new state.

My recommendation to the Editor is that he not make any of the changes suggested in the proposal for mantis 4002 without approval from the SV-AC Technical Committee.

Neil
