* General news
As a reminder calls are anchored on US time, so next week the call
will be one hour earlier in Europe (3pm London, 4pm Berlin).
We discussed Issue 8 planning. It was agreed that we should start PAR
planning in 1Q2019. We will need to set a target date fo rthe standard,
and then target approval for the PAR about one year before that.
One of the dependencies is the version of the C standard.
We also discussed the backlog and how to accelerate our bug processing.
We discussed holding more than one meeting per week in the New Year.
