Garfield, This makes sense, since we started discussing the publishing process late in this annual cycle. I agree that we should publish a version of the final Plan as soon as it has been approved. We can do this even if there are minor proofreading or formatting edits being made: publishing the exact version that the Board approved, and updating it if necessary. Next year, I think it would be also useful to publish a one-page summary of the projected plan, after the Board discusses it in April. This would relieve uncertainty and would be in line with the more public plan-drafting that we recommend for chapters. @Itzik and Tomasz: In previous years, final proofreading and formatting has been done after the plan is approved; this has usually taken ~2 weeks after the start of the fiscal year, before the plan is published. I believe the same is happening this year. I hope that we can adopt a more fluid publishing schedule in the coming year.
