These dates are goals, not fixed deadlines. However, if you would
like to comment on a section before the reviewer/rewriter works on
it, you should get your comments to me before the date listed for
the section.
When a section is ready for ballot it will be mailed for vote.
The goal is to complete all sections by the June meeting. Coming to closure
on all the sections by the June meeting is not a goal; having all the sections
ready for review by X3J13 between June and September IS a goal.
So if you only have time for one review, you should plan to review after
the drafting committee has completed its work, i.e. around mid- to late-July.
As usual, if you need hardcopies, please don't hesitate to ask. The files
on hudson.dec.com are updated once per week, usually on Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning. If you have trouble accessing them, please let me know
ASAP. If you forgot how to access them, please let me know. Please note that
ALL reviews and comments are APPRECIATED. In most cases, and always when the
comments are on a recently-published version or are extensive, you will receive
replies to your comments.
Thanks again for your help.
