On Thursday, Feb 17, the P1800 will meet and vote to send draft to ballot.  
Balloting opens on Feb 22.  

The future charter for the sub-committees is unclear.  Questions
from the SV-BC include the scope of future work (errata, enhancements),
timeline for completing the work and availability of the svdb to 
facilitate the work. Karen will work with Johny and the P1800 to clarify 
these issues in the coming week.

Based on the lack of clarity and the availability of the new LRM draft,
the consensus is that time would be best spent reviewing the new draft.
