The ePAPR committee has not been meeting as we've not had proposed
changes in the last couple of years.

It's a matter of the committee meeting, agreeing on proposed
changes, voting.  And then following the power.org approval
process which takes a few months.

I would prefer including other updates at the same time
before incurring the bureaucratic overhead.   ePAPR 1.1
came out in 2011.  I wonder if there are other changes
that would make sense to include.

I will ping the power.org mailing list to see if anyone is
aware of any updates needed.
