Hi Julius,

The version 0.0.11 will go through editHelp for editorial review (but no
changes of the content itself) and afterwards it will be submitted for the
first HAS assessment (means it gets the first legal scrutiny by the European
Commission).
The first commenting phase is over now, but after the HAS there will be the public
enquiry, likely from January."
Thanks, but that's still not super clear. ;) Can you try to find out
more details? For example:
* Does this mean that no new comments can't be submitted from now
until this date in January?
You can submit comments at any time, but comments submitted now will
probably only be considered after editorial review and/or HAS assessment
of the current document version is done.
* Where/how do we find out that this public enquiry has started?
There will be announcements. Werner will probably (at least that's my
assumption) write something here on the mailing list. If not, I will
probably do it.
* How exactly does the process work for this public enquiry and what's
the timeline from there to the final document?
Public enquiry is the part where everybody and their dog will comment
regardless of knowledge and correctness. I expect a huge flood (probably
thousands) of comments and depending on how/where you submit, various
national standards organizations may pre-filter the comments.
The effort to get something changed will be roughly one order of
magnitude more than during the golden time which is over now.
* What's the last point at which we can bring up discussions about
significant changes (e.g. adding/dropping requirements)?
That point (for firmware, i.e. "boot managers" in CRA-speak) was last
week if you wanted the easy route. Sorry.
You can still bring up discussions within the next few months (exact
date unknown, probably around mid Q1/2026), but any such discussion MUST
come with a concrete suggestion for new wording and solid reasoning for
the suggested change and in exactly the required format. It's a pretty
formal bureaucratic process now.
The later you submit, the more difficult it will be because someone may
already have made a similar suggestion as yours, but with unconvincing
reasoning. Then you need extremely good reasoning to convince people to
look at that point again after that point had been rejected previously.
At one future point in time (exact date TBD, but probably sometime in
2026), changing anything will become practically impossible (only total
accept or total reject of the whole document) and you have to hope for a
next round a few years from now.
I do think it is still very much worthwhile to submit comments and
suggestions in the public enquiry phase, but it will require additional
effort.
My recommendation is to submit the comments in batches as soon as they
are ready instead of waiting until all of them are ready.
Good luck!
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
