5          Funding, Budgeting, and Financial Update

Invoices have been sent out and everything is on track as far as Chair
Pieper knows.  

 

6          Editing update

Shalom has opened mantis 2399 to address some minor issues that did not
get fully input into the system.  Mantis 1619 was not fully uploaded for
Stu and the process to open a new mantis item should fix this.  There
was no objection for this process proposal to allow the SV-BC to address
the issue this way.

 

We will get another draft next week.  There were numerous edits with
many of them motivated by the AC committee changes and a detailed review
by Shalom.  The SV-AC additions were prolific and took more editor time
than planned.

 

There were still some references to 2008 in the draft, and Stu will
search again to change all references to 2009.   Most of the 2008
references were changed to 2009, but not all.

 

Chair Pieper noted we will send a clean draft to the IEEE as we have
reached one of the SA staff editorial review checkpoints.
