Dear Spec Committee,

On our working call on Friday I was asked to create a plan to pre-review the remaining PRs. It is going to be tight to pre-review every PR so my proposal for the next step is for spec committee members to buddy up and review one set of spec PR's from each company. We then rely on that company's spec committee rep to review the feedback and to share the input with the other spec projects within their organization. See this Copy of Projects, Leads, and Organizations spreadsheet columns V and W for assignments.

You only assigned 6 specs.  Can you assign the rest as well?

Wayne, can check out aspects you're best qualified to review like the content and format of the of the index.md files? 

For reference I created a google doc of Bill's Spec Review Checklist (see email from Aug 2, 2019, 7:49 PM). 

Feedback can go against the PRs and you are also encouraged to update the Common Mistakes document. And update the Spec Review Checklist?

It's more useful in markdown format so I added it to our repository - spec_review_checklist.md.

Please plan to have these pre-reviews done no later than our call on Wednesday the 7th.

Can you schedule out the reviews for every one of the specs?  We're going to need to work ahead of the meetings.

Also, I don't expect any of these to be right the first time, so you should schedule a re-review of each of these before declaring them final and ready for ballot.

Put all of that on a calendar and we'll find out pretty quickly whether there's any hope of meeting our date.
