IEEE P1003 committee meeting schedule

[John Quarterman]

Here is the schedule for currently planned IEEE P1003 committee meetings
and related events.  (Courtesy of Doug Gwyn:  I lost my notes on this.)

14-Oct		Revised spec (P1003/D5) online and in IEEE office
		Start of document review, mass mailing to Working Group
01-Nov		Technical review, Steering Committee meets in Dallas for
		editing session
04-Nov		Master copy of document to IEEE
08-Nov		Mail document for balloting
		Technical review and ballot resolution begins too
11-Dec		End of balloting
		Ballot resolution continues
13..15-Jan	P1003 meeting in Denver to review comments and
		proposed responses
21..31-Jan	Window during which ballot responses can be changed
15-Feb		Final document submitted to IEEE Standards Board
22-Mar		IEEE Standards Board meeting

P1003/D5 will be Draft Five and is intended to contain changes
agreed upon at the recent meeting near Washington, D.C.
I will make it available as the current draft when I get
a copy of it.  This will probably be after the Steering
Committee meeting at the beginning of November.

The "Final document" referred to here is the one which
is intended to become the trial use standard.  That will stand
for some period of time, possibly a year, and then be followed
by the real standard, which will be developed from experience
gained from the trial use standard.

The meeting in Dallas this November is of a small group and is
basically for technical editing, to pull the document into a
more self-consistent form.  The next full meeting of the committee
will be in January in Denver, in conjunction with the USENIX
conference, and is hoped to be the last one before the trial
use document is submitted to IEEE.

This schedule may slip if any form of the document is not ready
at its particular deadline.

There will probably be a meeting in April, place indeterminate
at the moment, and likely another in June in Atlanta in conjunction
with the USENIX Conference there.

Some P1003 committee members will be attending upcoming X3J11 
committee meetings to help promote coordination between the
two committees.
