Can EME reach Recommendation without a charter extension?

Hello,

I hope everyone had a nice holiday season and new year. I was hoping you
could answer two questions about the status of EME:

Will a charter extension be necessary before EME can reach Proposed
Recommendation or Recommendation?

Is there a deadline for the Advisory Committee's decision regarding the
charter extension? When this Working Group asked the Director for a
charter extension, he declined to decide and delegated the decision to
the Advisory Committee. However, that was months ago.

Thank you
