I think that they get mailed on the 22nd of this month.

Thanks for the link, Ryan. The supply of reading material in my specialized reading room will benefit from the resupply.

 

[ryan_618]

You're welcome.

Thanks, Ryan - I've intentionally put this on the back burner until they came out. I decided that (unlike Bryan, whose feats I am still profoundly impressed with) I couldn't read it, disjointed as it was on the NEMA release. I would have gone nuts.

It was an excellent tease, though.

NOW is the time to review it for horrible Proposals that were confoundedly accepted and to determine how to defend those obviously wonderful Proposals that incredulously were rejected.

In my experience, MUCH more work is done by the CMPs during the Comment stage than the Proposal Stage after the Public filter has been applied.

Thats easy. Just accept everything submitted by me

Thank you Ryan, I will download the ROP now!

Thank you Ryan, I will download the official ROP now!

Can someone plan on a Boston meeting of the minds? or another location like Chicago or Colorado? Beers are on me!!

Seems to me that the expertise here can work together to develop some major ROC material.

PS: My 110.16 revision needs a comment because some one and two family dwellings have very large services, some over 1000 amperes, 120/240 volt single, and even 3 phase too.

Hmm...well Joe, you buying me a Sam Adams would be tough to turn down! We'll have to see if we could do it, I think it could be a lot of fun.

You're welcome, by the way.

I could probably make a meeting in Chicago. Sounds like fun. Be great to meet some of the great minds out there.

The ROP always makes a good door stops. Is it two volumes this year?

 

[don_resqcapt19]

The ROP would be a lot easier to read on a computer if it was in a single column format, in place of the two column format.

 

[ryan_618]

Save it as a text file, then open it with word and save it as a word file.

 

[George Stolz]

I was stoked to just get it all in one file! And my new computer's Adobe Reader has a search bar in the menu, which I am very fond of.

I would like to splurge on a PDA, so I can read the ROP's while I'm on the couch, but beggars can't be choosers.

If you all would like to come out to Denver, I would be happy to drink your beer. I think it might be more productive to use the "Proposals" forum for our lobbying/discussion of the ROP, though. Two beers and all the proposals look good to me...

 

[dlhoule]

Thats okay George, cause after 2 beers they all look bad to me, so we can still have a discussion. ;-)
I still vote Chicago, it is centrally located and neutral territory as far as the NEC is concerned.

 

[wirestripper]

Thanks!

1000 pages of interesting reading.....I hope...
