The Task Group met to resolve comments on TGv D1.0 received in LB 108, and to hear presentations
for new normative text for the draft TGv specification.

The LB 108 comments are in 11-07-2368-03-000v-LB108-comment-resolutions. The editor has incorporated over 640 comment resolutions into
TGv Draft 1.02, which was approved as the current TGv draft. Approximately 750 comment resolutions were approved at the
