[P-1788]: Update on status
P-1788 members:
John and the editorial team are almost through the Mandatory
Editorial Coordination (MEC) phase, in which editors look at
the format and style of the document and make suggestions
(some stronger than others). This has resulted in various
changes, but none to the substance of the document. Once
John submits the final document, the sponsor ballot process
will begin.
One change that affects us is separation of the basic standard
from the full standard. Previously, the basic standard was
written as an appendix ("Annex") to the 1788 draft standard.
It will now be a separate document, and a separate, related
standard, labelled 1788.1.
We will also be the working group to finalize the 1788.1 standard.
Since we have previously unanimously approved a draft of 1788
that included the basic standard, I foresee little difficulty
approving the full document for the basic standard without
difficulty. Soon, Ned Nedialkov, primary editor for p-1788.1,
should be submitting the document to us along with a motion
to approve it, to pass it on to the MSC (Microprocessor
Standardization Committee).
Best regards,
Baker
