    Our SLAs say that we'll announce a public review within 5 business days of receipt - as long as the requirements are met. Typically I get them done much more quickly, and next week OASIS is having a week-long face-to-face meeting in Billerica (Boston) so I'm trying to get any announcements done before then.
     
    Regards,

    Peter, Mary,

    I was under the impression that we had until Monday, but if it means missing the timeline then we will put this in the 60 day comments and address it then. I do not want to hold up the 60 day public review for this.

    Best Regards,
    Rich

    Re: [office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E in the ODF 1.1 specification

    Hi Mary,

    The change we would like to make is a small clarification change in the
    non-normative portion of the document - Appendix E.

    Separately from Michael (who I believe has left work for the day in
    Germany) I understand that if the document doesn't go out today, we miss
    our timeline.

    I believe this change can be made within the 60 day public review (as an
    editorial change, especially as it is non-normative).

    So, I suggest you do NOT delay, but go ahead with PR this afternoon.

    Rich - is this acceptable to you?
