Hi Philip,
This is a useful timeline. It may be missing a few items, though:

There is also another item: "Root store policies amended to permit use".
However, where that goes and where the CAB Forum item goes is flexible;
both have to happen before "CAs issue certificates" but they don't
necessarily have to happen earlier than that. Having said that, I can
see a case for a CAB Forum "motion of intent" to set direction. What
algorithms other than SHA-3 would we want to include in such a motion?
