Colleagues,
   
  There is only one more day until the close of the 
  first round of comments
  tomorrow (April 23rd), and I have so far received 
  only one batch of 20
  comments. Please get your comments in! While the 
  actual comment
  period closes on April 28, publication of the first 
  round of comments will
  allow WG members to identify and work on problem 
  areas (and also
  submit proposed resolutions to comments, saving time 
  during the
  meeting).
   
  Also, in the general guidelines on commenting that 
  I'd sent out last Friday,
  I 
  forgot to mention one additional point: please do not comment on 
  editor's
  notes. Editor's notes are intended to allow the 
  editor to point out issues or
  open 
  areas to the WG, or to identify work in progress (so that the 
  WG
  need 
  not waste its time trying to follow a moving target); they do not 
  qualify
  as 
  approved draft text and may appear and disappear at the discretion 
  of
  the 
  editor. They will all be removed before the standard goes to RevCom 
  -
  indeed, I expect them to be removed before we go to 
  Sponsor Ballot. You
  may 
  reference specific editor's notes when you make comments, 
  but
  please don't make comments on the text contained 
  within the editor's
  notes.
   
  Best 
  regards,
   
  -
