January 2011 Question Are we bold enough to claim that recirculation 5 is the clean recirculation, or do we need to make changes during Recirculation 5, necessitating another recirculation? In the following, I assume that to be the case Also, I assumed that we do not make a recirculation out of this meeting Also this needs confirmation from the TG Dee Denteneer (Philips)

Plan In the following slides we provide a more detailed mapping January 2011 Plan In the following slides we provide a more detailed mapping Depending on 11s completes before REVmb 11s completes after REVmb; for this case, we assume that REVmb completes its clean recirculation by Oktober 17 Goal: to agree on a timeline for discussion with REVmb and the editors meeting Dee Denteneer (Philips)

Scenario 1 January 2011 This corresponds to the following sequence of events, assuming TGs goes before REVmb Scenario 1, current date Recirculations February-May, 2011* Request EC Unconditional Approval to go to Revcom July 2011 Get on September Revcom agenda August/Sept 2011 Revcom approval September 2011 Publication *Note: there is room for some more recirculations to meet the September REVcom agenda Dee Denteneer (Philips)

Scenario 2 January 2011 A speed up was suggested, still assuming TGs goes before REVmb, however, this is ok only with the original timeline Scenario 2, sped up date Recirculation (Draft 9) February 2011 Request EC Conditional Approval to go to Revcom March 2011 final recircs, Draft 10 and 11 April-May, 2011* Get on June Revcom agenda May 2011 Revcom approval June 2011 Publication July 2011 *Note: Fitting in two recirculations plus a clean recirc is very tight. Dee Denteneer (Philips)

Scenario 3 January 2011 REVmb expects to complete Comment Resolution by 17 Oktober 2011, so if we go after REVmb Scenario 3, 11s after REVmb date Recirculations February-May 2011 REVmb and 11s Request EC Conditional Approval to go to Revcom September 2011 final recirculation REVmb completed 17 Okt 2011* Final recircs 11s 18 Okt. – 7 Dec. 2011** Revcom approval of REVmb November 2011 Revcom approval of 11s February 2011 With this completion date, REVmb gets on the November REVcom agenda; TGs will meet the Feb. 17 deadline to be on the february REVcom agenda Dee Denteneer (Philips)

Conclusion In the best estimates: January 2011 Conclusion In the best estimates: Waiting for REVmb will delay publication of TGs from September (June) 2011 to February 2012 According to an analysis by Adrian Stephens, waiting for TGs will delay publication of REVmb from November 2011 to publication in February 2012 Dee Denteneer (Philips)
