Publishing Schedule for 2010

In preparing the publishing schedule for 2010 Don noticed a potential issue with a very short turnaround between the Fall 2010 WGM (ending October 8) and the Winter 2011 WGM (starting January 9). The reduced cycle does not allow work groups much time to prepare materials following the Fall 2010 WGM. Don asked the group if there were any thoughts. It was suggested that perhaps this may be a good occasion to skip a cycle and use the time to do a clean-up of the publishing process and move the tooling to MIF2. There would still be CDA ballots as well as stand-alone documents and reconciliation ballots. A question was raised if it was necessary for the facilitators to determine the feasibility with their respective work groups but it was determined to be too soon.

Notes from Don Lloyd

On late Friday the decision was made to hold the Nonday ballot opening until Tuesday. There were got some late submissions received. There was also one withdrawal from the ballot pool.

• The ballot opened on Tuesday morning
• Other ballots scheduled to open on Monday were fine
• Since opening, there have been 3 minor issues, none required a patch
• None of the call attendees have noticed any issues
