(j3.2006) FW: (SC22WG5.4929) J3 interp letter ballot #28 - due 19-Apr-2013

[Whitlock, Stan]

The J3 interp LB #28 erroneously lists interp F03/0053 on the ballot but its text in not in the paper.  That's because F03/0053 already passed a J3 letter ballot - it should not be in letter ballot #28.  I will issue a revised LB #28 paper.

Thanks				/Stan

Hi Stan,

Is F03/0053 either (1) missing from the ballot text, or (2) not really being voted?

Cheers,
Bill
