I am starting a 4-week informal WG5 ballot on this schedule and on N1838. 
Please answer these questions by 9 a.m. UK time on 7 December. 

1. Is the above revised schedule acceptable?

>> Yes, although I am concerned it still does not give us enough time to resolve technical issues.

2. Do you have any comments on N1838? Please give special attention
to the UTIs. For each significant change, please provide text for a new
UTI.

>> UTI TR2 (page 10). I prefer option (2): add an additional character length field
