Re: W3C [PBG] Agenda for 20190326 call - European/US time

Dear Chairs,


This topic also concerns EPUB 3 CG. In upcoming week we should also start planning the timeline for releasing EPUB 3.2 and EPUBCheck 4.2.
We did not receive blocking issues for EPUBCheck for now, but the team is keeping their ears tuned to bug reports.

With regards
Avneesh
