Re: New Editor's Draft published

Congrats! During the telecon today, it would make sense for you to go 
over the changes, and then we need to give at least 1 week for review by 
the WG and then get formal consensus on its publication on our meeting 
on 27th of August so we can then at earliest probably aim for 
publication on August 30th.

    cheers,
         harry
