stds-802-16: Session #8 Tutorial on IEEE Editorial Process

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

Expect the following tutorial on Tuesday night at Session #8:

Tutorial Title: IEEE Editorial Process
Speakers:       Greg Kohn (IEEE Staff Editor)
                 Jennifer Longman (IEEE Project Editor)
Sponsor:        Howard Frazier
Time:           Tuesday, July 11, 6:30 - 9:00 pm

Howard says "Bring your laptops, and make sure they are loaded with 
Adobe Framemaker version 5.5."

Below is Howard's suggestion to Greg Kohn; Greg seemed to like the plan.

All 802.16 editors, and all those who will be involved with our 
editorial teams, should plan to attend. Before Session #8 is over, we 
need to have an editorial process in place.

I'll provide more detail on this tutorial if/when I get it.
