<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The question of how much time we have to get change request in to the next version of the CIM schema arose yesterday on the call. John Crandall checked on the official schedule for me. Final CRs for Schema v2.18 must be approved and out of the working group and shared with TC for ballot by 2008/02/19. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This does give us a reasonable amount of time if we submit our CRs early in January. Good news. </FONT>
