In accordance with the time-table established by the executive of the mmCIF
working group, we have now submitted to COMCIFS for technical review the
data items that will constitute the extension of the mmCIF dictionary from
Version 1.0 to Version 2.0.

These proposed new data itmes were submitted from the community (in this
case, from Kim Henrick of EBI), reviewed by the appropriate member(s) of
the panel of editors of the mmCIF dictionary for content, and then given
further editorial review by the executive of the mmCIF working group.
The approximately 60 new data items involve extensions to various PHASING
and REFINE categories.

Following the now-completed internal review, the next step in the process
is to submit the data items to COMCIFS for a quick review of technical
compliance with the CIF standard - they were submitted today.  We are
hoping that COMCIFS will release the data items for community review by
April 15 - we will certainly inform all of you on this mailing list as soon
as they are ready for review, and we hope that you will all be able to have
a careful look at them.  This is the time for comment and revision,
following which we will submit these data items to COMCIFS for formal
approval.

We will keep you posted -
