Re: [BP] Progress of the Best Practice

Hi Ed - timely question. Linda & I just completed our editor's catch up
call.

BP document is FROZEN and ready for people to read/review (see previous
emails in this chain for the change-log).
VOTE is scheduled for WEDNESDAY during the plenary call.

Thank you. Jeremy
