Re: JSR-243 Maintenance Release

[Craig Russell <ap...@gmail.com>]

Hi Harold,

Thanks very much for the detailed pointers. There have been substantive changes to the specification that warrant a review. Earlier, I had read the process but was unable to find where to post the request for review.

I'll follow up with submitting the materials via the process.

Thanks,
Craig
