Ths involved exchanges of email between APTLD GM and the drafting team. The draft was sent to the APRALO for comments following a briefing on the APRALO call. Members were invited to make submissions and comments before 31st January, 2014. Confirmation was received that there were no comments nor submissions published on the Wiki nor sent to Siranush and the APRALO list. I can confirm that from memory the last draft was the version that Don has. I expect Siranush as APRALO Chair to be in touch with Don in the coming days. But since you are both there, does'nt hurt for either of you to inform the community there of the status.
