5          FUNDING, BUDGEING, AND FINANCIAL UPDATE

No real update here.  There is one issue with Neil being worked on.  

 

6          Editing update

Draft 8 is done.  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.
