A few last questions are being addressed. The IEEE comments, Mantis items and the like are handled. The IEEE does not like the words guarantee and ensure. Those words were changed for alternate language in about 30 places. It was not a simple word replacement. Do we want the committees any time before we release it as the ballot draft? Yes, we want a review draft. Stu will produce a review draft for the working group. The only changes we will accept in this review will be changes to the edits done for Draft 8. All reviews need to be done by December 19, 2008. 7 Schedule Status Update Karen did send out email to the entities to become members and the request to join the ballot pool is complete. The draft is complete a day ahead of schedule. We will do the teleconference to authorize the IEEE to start the ballot on January 8, 2009. If we have contacts within companies that are IEEE SA Corporate Members, we can take individual initiative to invite them to join the ballot pool. * December 19, 2008 Review of Draft 9 Edits complete * January 1, 2008 Close of the invitation to ballot * January 8, 2008 Balance in the balloting group confirmed * January 8, 2008 Teleconference 8am * -------------- Ballot draft available * -------------- Vote to go to ballot * January 10. 2008 Ballot opens * February 10, 2008 Ballot closes * February 24, 2009 Ballot responses available * February 26, 2009 Teleconference 8am * March 26, 2009 Teleconference 8am * April 9, 2009 Committees respond to ballot responses * April 16, 2009 Champions meeting * April 23, 2009 Teleconference 8am * -------------- P1800 approval of content of recirculation draft * May 7, 2009 Recirculation draft * May 21, 2009 Recirculation results back * July 30, 2009 Initiate press release to announce IEEE-SA Approval * September 30, 2009 Initiate press release to announce Publication available 8 P1800 technical committees and Champions operational update None. 9 DATE, DAC, DVCon DVCon and DATE turned down the tutorial.
