At its meeting in June last year, WG5 adopted a revised schedule (C4) that commences J3 delivers to WG5 draft corrigendum 1 and current working draft 2000-06 WG5 approval of corrigendum 1 2000-08 I no longer think this is possible. There are about 85 outstanding requests for interpretations in the J3 standing document 006 (alias N1383). Each needs to pass these stages: 1. J3 meeting vote. 2. J3 letter ballot. 3. WG vote. 4. If edits are involved, incorporation in a corrigendum. 13 have passed stage 1 and will be sent to J3 for letter ballot soon. None are further on. We need to help J3 and can do so by constructing draft responses. I have made a start with 001, 003, 004, 005 and will be sending these out later today. Please will you look at them, or at least look at one of them? I would like comments and it will give you an idea of what is needed. Please will you consider writing a draft for another one? I am hoping that a reasonable number will have passed stage 2 by August and that we can vote on them (stage 3) at the Oulu meeting. This will allow us to construct a draft corrigendum at Oulu, to be the subject of a WG5 letter ballot afterwards. This will mean that we lose only about 2 months of our schedule. Best wishes, John.
