P-1788 completion schedule
P-1788:
Our allocated term for completion of the document ends
December 31, 2014. After P-1788 delivers its ratified document
to the Microprocessor Standardization Committee, it must go
through a "Sponsor Ballot," which can take a year. Therefore,
the officers have agreed to set a deadline for completion and
internal ratification of our document to be December 31, 2013,
in a scant 4 months. This is a very tight schedule, but, if
we don't meet it, that greatly decreases our chances of eventually
having an IEEE interval arithmetic standard.
I am therefore calling on all of us to keep this in mind,
keeping discussions focused and a propos, to achieve this goal.
In the mean time, the officers and technical editors will complete
writing the standing document (according to our accepted positions)
and put it to a vote in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Baker
