Title: Projected Joint Revision Project Timeline

Revision Date: 1999-06-06

Source: Andrew Josey, Chair

Action: for review and planning

This is an estimated project timeline. This will be updated after each meeting.

Known risks: We may decide due to delays in .1a/.2b to push draft 2 and beyond back one quarter which would lead to "technical completion" at the end of the first quarter of Year 2001.

This plan allows between 4 and 12 weeks editing cycle for draft production and a 6 week review period for each draft.
