The Public Review period ended on 4 December. The Public Review EC ballot is in progress, ending on 23 December (just in time for Christmas!).
I expect to send you the draft Proposed Final Draft Specification for review in the next few days, with comments due by 8 January so that I can submit it to the PMO for posting the following week. For the Final Approval Ballot I expect to make the Specification, Reference Implementation, and TCK available for you to review in mid-January, with comments due two weeks later, so that I can submit them to the PMO by the end of the month. The FAB ballot period will then run for the first couple of weeks of February. If all goes well then we'll be able to declare the Final Release of this Specification in early March. - Mark
