+	  <p>The next version of OpenSSL will be 1.1.1. This is currently in
+	  development and has a primary focus of implementing TLSv1.3. The
+	  RFC for TLSv1.3 has not yet been published by the IETF. OpenSSL 1.1.1
+	  will not have its final release until that has happened.</p>
+
+	  <p>The draft release timetable for 1.1.1 is as follows. This may be
+          amended at any time as the need arises.</p>
+
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>13th February 2018, alpha release 1 (pre1)</li>
+	    <li>27th February 2018, alpha release 2 (pre2)</li>
+	    <li>13th March 2018, beta release 1 (pre3)
+              <ul>
+	        <li>OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable created (feature freeze)</li>
+	        <li>master becomes basis for 1.1.2 or 1.2.0 (TBD)</li>
+	      </ul>
+	    <li>27th March 2018, beta release 2 (pre4)</li>
+	    <li>10th April 2018, beta release 3 (pre5)</li>
+	    <li>24th April 2018, beta release 4 (pre6)</li>
+	    <li>1st May 2018, release readiness check (new release cycles added if
+	        required, first possible final release date: 8th May 2018)</li>
+	  </ul>
+
+	  <p>An alpha release means:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>Not (necessarily) feature complete</li>
+	    <li>Not necessarily all new APIs in place yet</li>
+	  </ul>
+
+	  <p>A beta release means:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>Feature complete/Feature freeze (but may include a non-final implementation of the TLSv1.3 specification)</li>
+	    <li>Bug fixes only</li>
+	  </ul>
+
+	  <p>We have defined the following release criteria for 1.1.1:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>All open github issues/PRs older than 2 weeks at the time of release
+	    to be assessed for relevance to 1.1.1. Any flagged with the 1.1.1
+	    milestone to be closed (see below)</li>
+	    <li>Clean builds in Travis and Appveyor for two days</li>
+	    <li>run-checker.sh to be showing as clean 2 days before release</li>
+	    <li>No open Coverity issues (not flagged as "False Positive" or "Ignore")</li>
+	    <li>TLSv1.3 RFC published</li>
+	  </ul>
+
+	  <p>Valid reasons for closing an issue/PR with a 1.1.1 milestone might be:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>We have just now or sometime in the past fixed the issue</li>
+	    <li>Unable to reproduce (following discussion with original reporter if
+	    possible)</li>
+	    <li>Working as intended</li>
+	    <li>Deliberate decision not to fix until a later release (this wouldn't
+	    actually close the issue/PR but change the milestone instead)</li>
+	    <li>Not enough information and unable to contact reporter</li>
+	    <li>etc</li>
+	  </ul>
