Re: [dita] DocBook v5.1 OS ballot at 29 votes; closes next Tuesday

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Tom,

Thanks for passing this information on to the DITA TC. By my understanding of the rules, 63 Yes votes (with no No votes) means that the DocBook 5.1 standard has been approved.

Thanks to everyone on the DITA TC who voted or helped get out the vote for this standard.

Best regards (and, for those of you in the US, Happy Thanksgiving).
Dick
