[DDI-SRG] Timing of Schema vote

[Wendy Thomas]

The decision in TIC was to not wait for IASSIST because it may limit the 
number of voters to those at the meeting. This is an expedited review, 2 
week review and 1 week vote. So basically they could all vote a full week 
before the DDI meeting at IASSIST.
