[tei-council] next release?

[James Cummings]

Hi all,

I think events have caught up with us and that May 25th deadline 
is looming.  I know I've barely chipped the surface of things 
assigned to me, and the meeting minutes are still coming (almost 
there I'm told).  I propose that we push back the next release 
until the week ending 15 June.  Does that seem unreasonable for 
anyone, or any counter proposals?

-James
