events dictate.

1) CVE Review meetings - July 29-30, Aug 12-13

2) Begin working with all marketing contacts for Board members - early
August

3) CVE web site ready for Editorial Board review - early August

4) Editorial Board discussion and draft of Board membership
requirements, roles and responsibilities, etc. - mid-late August

5) CVE ready for public release - September 1.  Press releases
expected to occur sometime around this date.

6) Paper accepted for RAID-99 - "Building a Common Vulnerability
