Hello Project / Feature Leads,

The stx.9.0 Milestone-3 [1] is coming up next week on August 23. There are currently many features with overdue forecast dates and no recent updates. The release team and TSC need the most up-to-date information to make the decision on this milestone as well as the rest of the stx.9.0 release plans.

Actions for each feature prime:
- evaluate whether their feature still fits in the stx.9.0 time-frame based on the current milestones in the "Release Milestones" worksheet.
- update column H (Final Disposition) with "In" or "Out" in the "Release Candidates" worksheet
- update column P (Code Merged Forecast) and S (Feature Tested Forecast) for any overdue dates.
- update column Q (Code Merged Actual) and T (Feature Tested Actual) with actuals if completed
- add a comment in column W (Comments) with the any relevant comments; especially features that will not make it.
