[dtp-pmc] Asking an extension for DTP 1.6.1 M1

[Loic R Julien <lj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear PMC,

I understand that the deadline set to
declare the 1.6.1 M1 milestone driver is today. However, IBM is having
several issues to consume this driver and would like to seek for an extension.

Few defects are still in the queue and/or
are just being delivered and this is creating a major risk for the DTP
milestone driver that we will need to mitigate by running again our full
regression testing to ensure the stability of the DTP M1 Milestone driver.

Running a full regression last 5 days
and the milestone driver final date could be extended to next Thursday,
August 14.

I thank you for your consideration.

Thanks,
~Loïc
