Action: for review and planning
This is an estimated project timeline. This will be updated after each meeting.
Note that the exact dates will be adjusted to fit into the week
schedules.
We are aiming for the Sept 2008 Standards Board meeting for IEEE
Approval
For IEEE we will need to reform the ballot pool.
We need to start drafting a PAR for approval within PASC, prior
to IEEE.
Suggested to submit a PAR to PASC in June 2006, for two months approval,
Suggest submit PAR to IEEE in August for attention at the Sept 2006
standards board
At ISO the PE reported at the Sept 2006 SC22 what we plan to do and
the project was officially put in place.
At ISO , the document will progress through the usual 5 stage process
Draft 2 --> CD registration +
CD Ballot (feature complete) 3 months ballot +
1 month administrative overhead
FCD Ballot (doc freezes) 4 months
FDIS Ballot (yes/no) 2 months
Done
We will need to declare a cutoff date for defect report against the
existing standard.
