4          BALLOT DRAFT UPDATE

 

Karen said most of the items that Dennis flagged were due to duplicate
items. The duplicates point to the issue containing the resolution. 

 

One item was not updated in the LRM.  It was on the spreadsheet - Karen
wasn't sure whether actual changes were needed. Charles mentioned that
the section needs further work and will be taken care of later.

 

Changed language on the Entity-1 issue, where the entity was now
contacted.

 

5          EDITOR UPDATE

 

All of the changes have been made to both LRMs. New LRMs were sent out
almost 2-days ago.

 

One comment came back so far - with the committee participation list 

net_value --> net_lvalue (Brad - found it - problem in original
proposal).

 

Stu can update it tonight with Brad's change. Expects to send out the
updated drafts tonight. 

 

Mantis 576 - Steve Dovich - one sentence needs to be updated (Re:
Victor).

                                         - a cut-and-paste type of
change (Re: Karen).

 

All of these changes are minor - Johny.

 

11 issues are in the acknowledge state - Karen thinks the updates are
correct. All of these are problems that were found after Stu made all of
the original changes that were specified.

 

A motion (Karen Pieper, Oz Levia) was made to approve the set of changes
listed here.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

A motion was made (Karen Pieper, Oz Levia) was made to accept as a
recirculation ballot: P1800 D5_prelim5 LRM, plus 3 edits, plus re-ballot
PDF from Dennis, plus updates from Karen.  The motion passed
unanimously.

 

6          P1364 BALLOT LRM
