[Radioig] Validation of the Obscore radio extension Note : still stalled

[Molinaro, Marco]

Dear Mireille, all,

thanks for bringing up the topic and proposing a schedule.

I have only one kind request, if possible, to fit the TCG schedule:
can the authors do the reading by April 28/29?

On the 29th evening a TCG vconf will happen where the Note can be
pointed out directly and formally set into TCG review without
letting that happen in an email follow up.

Cheers
    Marco
