(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5840) Preparing for the CD ballot

[John Reid]

Dear all,

J3 had a successful meeting last week and agreed some edits for the 
draft of the new standard, but significantly less than last time.  Two 
were very minor technical changes (see 17-123r2 and 17-125r3). The rest 
were editorial. We are definitely converging. Our plans say (N2106)

    CD determined                  2017-02    J3
    CD ballot initiated            2017-03
    CD ballot comments available   2017-05

Malcolm says that he is confident of meeting an end-of-February deadline 
for the new draft. I propose that when this is available, a small 
subgroup checks the changes before it is sent to SC22 for CD ballot. Is 
this OK with everyone? For members of the subgroup, I suggest Dan, Bill, 
and myself. Dan and Bill, is this OK with you? Does anyone else want to 
be involved?

I am anxious that the CD ballot comments be available well before the 
June meeting in Garching so that we can be well prepared to address the 
comments then.

Best wishes,

John.
