Thanks @plehegar. We are pulling together an abstract over the next few days - so that will be in very soon.

[plehegar]

Unfortunately, this won't get on the Director desk before Tuesday, due to AC and AB meetings. So publication is more likely to happen on Thursday next week at the earliest.

@plehegar thank you for the update!

Transition approved.

Please remember to update the reference to the registry (in References) now that the registry exists on /TR.
