** Recently the ITI, PCC, QRPH domains reviewed the naming of year directories and agreed on a common approach, although some have issue with the approach.  In general a yearly directory includes:

** Discussion deferred to 2009-09-01 tcon
*** An indication of what "year" by count (i.e. yr1, yr2, yr3, ... ) of the domain
 
*** A year range that starts at the year new profiles will be released and ends the year the new profiles will be tested at connectathon.
 
** ITI has adopted a single year range for its maintanence work, i.e. the 2009 folder is named TF_Maintenance-2009.
 
** The ITI planning cycle for the 2010-2011 year will begin in the Fall of 2009 and the directory associated with the work will be named /iheitiyr7-2010-2011/.  Planning committee members find this odd, since their work is in 2009.  But it is consistently done this way in the ITI, PCC and QRPH domains.  What about other domains?
 
** RAD works on an annual TF development cycle. (Proposal-Selection-Draft-PublicComment-TI Publication)
 
*** The cycle years reflect when that happens.  The TI Supps we published a few weeks ago are for Yr11-2008-2009.
 
*** On the wiki we refer to both years.  On the ftp site, we shortened the name to just list the second year since that's when the bulk of the TF development work happens.
 
*** A Profile is tested at various Connectathons over multiple years and will become Final Text at some time in the future.
