Proposed schedule change for JSR 379 (Java SE 9)

[Mark Reinhold]

I have just proposed to the JSR 376 (Java Platform Module System) EG [1]
that we take more time in order to evaluate recent significant design
proposals [2], discuss and resolve the open issues that are already on
the issue list [3], and allow for adequate feedback from the wider
community.

I hereby propose that we adjust the schedule of this JSR to match that
proposal:

    Early Draft Review      January 2017
    Public Review           March 2017
    Proposed Final Draft    May 2017
    Final Release           July 2017

Please Iris and I know by this time next week (16:00 UTC next Tuesday,
20 September) of any objections to this proposal.

- Mark
