<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Bob,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just for your info, a CMC poll for approving the publication of the BPv7 orange book has been now instructed with closure on April 1<sup>st</sup>. If everything works afterwards smoothly enough the book could be published in April. As to
the point of already publishing the current draft as is and in general push for such a possibility for stable draft documents, there was no reaction from CESG. I’ve in any case requested to address this point in the next CESG telco planned for April 9<sup>TH</sup>.
