[Cesg-all] PRP A9-20 Request for CESG Review

Jean-Luc:

The milestone in the Framework reflects Secretariat turnaround time 
in addition to the actual review period.  In the case of TM Channel 
Coding, the actual period from input to the Secretariat to the 
end-of-review due date is well beyond the allotted time because of 
repeated changes introduced to the document after initial input.

I should also point out that the default milestones were arrived at 
though discussions within the Secretariat and are based on actual 
procedures rather than expectations of WG chairs and ADs.

Best regards,
Tom
