amendment was made during the comment period to add the
phrase “while still providing acceptable levels of security”
to the description of the proposed working group’s expected
work product. So, unless endorsers withdraw their support
such that there are fewer than two endorsers, I do not see
the need to further delay this ballot, and voting will begin
at 2200 UTC later today. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
