RE: [P1800] latest version of the schedule

Shalom,

I don't think slipping the date by one day to Jan 14 is a problem. I was
only slightly joking when I told the P1800 working group that I assumed the
Jan 13 deadline was 11:59 Adak, Alaska time.

The primary purpose of the Jan 13 draft is for the various subcommittees to
review all the changes that have been made for accuracy, and possibly to
resolve any problems with those changes (e.g.: multiple changes that affect
the same block of text). While desirable, it is not essential to complete
the formatting of the new encryption sections for this review draft. It is
critical, however, for the text of all approved changes to be in the Jan 13
draft so that it can be reviewed. The actual ballot draft is not due until
Feb 11. That is the one that absolutely needs to look picture perfect.

If need be, I can postpone some of the make-it-pretty editing I plan to do
next week on the P1800 LRM, and spend some time on the 1364 LRM. On the
1800 LRM, I have to add the 30 or so changes that were approved yesterday
(some of which require extensive editing), plus another roughly 30 changes
that affect the VPI diagrams. It is a lot of work, but I can squeeze in
time for the 1364 LRM if I know to plan to for it.

My major make-it-pretty task is to redraw all the VPI diagrams in the P1800
LRM, which are in very poor condition right now (inconsistent fonts, badly
formed arrows, jagged lines, etc.). This task does not affect the technical
accuracy of the LRM, but needs to be done before the LRM goes to ballot.

Johny, let me know if you do not agree with my thoughts on the formatting
for the Jan 13 drafts.
