Hmm, I'm not the one who would be able to let you know if it passed,
that's the job of the steering committee chair.  But as AGA web guy, I
certainly might start moving pages around or changing names of things if
it did pass.

And as I said before, I wouldn't DREAM of trying to start finalizing
things unless it came to a vote and passed.

Certainly I would not even *imagine* asking you about announcing something
at the NEC if the MC hasn't voted yes and accepted the proposal.

Sounds quite obtainable.  Especially if it might have passed by now.
