7. Overview 3Q2018 Presentation/Discussion
Go-Forward Plan for 3 Focused Tasks to be Completed in Sequence:
Robust Update/Add Content to Current Users Guide to Support MRL Deskbook 2016 & Versions
Based on 1., Potentially Update Existing Criteria Wording & Add ESH Criteria Wording to Support MRL Deskbook 2018 Version
Once MRL Deskbook 2018 Version Published, Update Users Guide to Support MRL Deskbook 2018 Version

8. Robust Update/Add Content to Current Users Guide Information to Support MRL Deskbook 2016 & 2017 Versions
Making Users Guide more robust, add useful content (e.g., adding Objective Evidence examples) and cleaning-up existing content (e.g., standardize the content format of all matrix cell information)
There are numerous inconsistencies in the current version of the Users Guide (has been present for a few years)
Committee is doing a deep-dive of MRLs 4 – 10 to update and add content

9. Robust Update/Add Content to Current Users Guide Information to Support MRL Deskbook 2016 & 2017 Versions (cont.)
This is a much more involved activity than what was originally anticipated!
The committee has reviewed MRLs 4 – 6, changes are captured and work continuing
The committee is reviewing MRLs 7 – 8 and is currently targeted for end of July
MRLs 9 – 10 are targeted for end of Aug
Above changes to be incorporated in Users Guide (AFRL is action office) with target of the MRL Workshop (Sep 25th)

10. Update Existing Criteria Wording & Add ESH Criteria Wording to Support MRL Deskbook 2018 Version
There are some inconsistencies/confusion factors in the current criteria in the MRL Deskbook
Scott Pearl and Jordon Masters have provided updates for the current criteria (Jack & Tom also have updates)
ESH criteria has been codified and is captured for use
Committee will provide proposed updated criteria wording for incorporation in the MRL Deskbook Version, for review by the MRL Working Group, 2 weeks prior to the MRL WG Meeting (Oct 23rd)

11. Once MRL Deskbook 2018 Version Published, Update Users Guide to Support MRL Deskbook 2018 Version
Update the Users Guide to support the Version of the MRL Deskbook
The committee will ensure that we have:
Version of the Users Guide to support the 2016/2017 Version of the MRL Deskbook and
Version of the Users Guide to support the 2018 Version of the MRL Deskbook
Completed 2016/2017 & 2018 Users Guides target availability is the Defense Manufacturing Conference (Dec 2018)
