The OPUS draft authors believe the bitstream for OPUS will be ready to be "frozen" by the end of the month. At that point we plan to spend the following month testing and, baring any surprises, will likely go to WGLC after that. 

There has been some questions about what "frozen" means in IETF context. The bitstream could change any time up to when the IESG approves it which is after Working Group Last call and after IETF Last Call so there is no guarantee that nothing will change but ...  by "frozen" we mean that we believe no changes are needed and don't plan to make changes unless some significant problem is found.

Thanks,
Cullen, Jonathan, and Mike
