Hi,
 
(Regrets for our next PubSC call on Friday, I will not be able to attend being somewhere in the White Mountains around or at top of Mount Washington)
 
Regarding EPUBCheck development, I can confirm the Phase 1 success as EPUBCheck 4.2.0 validating EPUB3.2 has been release by DAISY Consortium according schedule decided by the project management calls (see Avneesh report attached).
Thanks to DASIY developers team !
 
On behalf of the Publishing Steering Committee and according to the statement of work, I plan to authorize payment for Phase 2 launch.
 
This milestone “Start of Phase 2.1” needs a $26,400 payment, and on completion of Phase 2.1 (estimated July 2019), another payment of $26,400.
 
Hopefully these 2 payments can be fulfilled from funds raised so far but that’s all ! 
The next phases starting December 2019 will definitively need raising more funds.
 
Best regards,
Luc
