RE: [P1800] Agenda for January 4 P1800 Conference Call

Shalom,

My understanding is that April 30 "official release" means that this will
become the draft that is used for all further corrections during the
creation of the next P1800 standard.  The reason it needs to be "official"
within the working group is because prior to that approval, we have been
working on drafts of the split 1364/1800 LRMs.  

The primary goal of the review of the merged LRMs is to determine if: a) it
is good enough to become the working draft on which further work should
continue,  b) more merging work is required before making it the working
draft,  c) merging is not going to work, and we should stay with two
standards.  Thirty days should be ample time for the committees to make this
go/no-go decision.  Once it is a go, there will be several months to find
and fix problems with the merge and the existing standard.

That is my interpretation, anyway.
