    Yes - that is the case at the moment.

Looking at the release strategy [1] it points to the wiki 3.0 schedule page [2] which is says Beta 1 was to be in June; someone should update that.

I think you should have a new vote to change the bylaws [3] to change this line:
	release timing and requirement decisions;
to be
	release timing (not counting internal test releases and such) and requirement decisions;

Finally, was there an OMC vote on the 3.0 release contents, or is it just the 3.0 design [4]?

Thanks.  (Note that this isn't directedly specifically at Matt)
