instructions
for the merger of new materials and reorganization of the options of =
the
standard (Austin/317 *), together with an updated project plan =
(Austin/319)
detailing the timeline and draft contents and the proposed ballot =
cycle.

Draft two of the revision was made available on October 31 2006 and is =
now
undergoing a three month review, including IEEE and ISO ballots. A =
plenary
meeting will be held to resolve the bug reports in February 2007 (the =
week

bodies.  It
is anticipated that the next revision will complete by September 2008.
