Progress to complete this is going. 6 EDITING UPDATE No new edits since D3. D4 will start at the conclusion of this meeting. That draft should be ready on or before the deadline. 7 SCHEDULE STATUS UPDATE The rate of incoming Mantis items is greater than Mantis items being closed which suggests that the schedule may not be able to be made. We have another meeting scheduled for 10/4 where we can checkpoint progress. We will attempt to keep to the current schedule and hold more meetings if there is more content that needs to get in. We need a plan from the subcommittees as to how they can get to the November end date. Neil will work with the committees to get a plan from them on what issues they will address and what they complete by 11/15. We will review this feedback at our 10/4 meeting. By September 21st we want to mail the 1800 mailing list the schedule and content expected by each of the committees by the 11/15 freeze date. We will discuss the outcome of that planning at the 10/4 meeting.
