you can read about the EC Round Table, TCK Guidelines and Notable JSRs.

** Recent News **
-----------------
Find out about more about the latest happenings in the JCP program,
by visiting the "Recent News" area of the JCP web site:
http://java.sun.com/jcp/nav/recentnews.html. A small excerpt:
EC Round Table
We offered EC members a chance to tell us something about themselves
and their views on the JCP program. Most responded with a short bio
and answers to the two questions: "What is the significance of the JCP
program for the future development of Java technology?" and "How do you
see the role you will play on the EC?" Check out the committee
members' thoughtful and illuminating responses under recent news:

New!--Guidelines for Developing TCKs
A good Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) is critical to insuring that
independent implementations of the Specification are compatible with
the Specification and each other. The JCP typically relies on the
expertise within the Expert Group to provide feedback to the Spec Lead
on the quality of the TCK. To assist the Expert Group and Spec Lead with
this task the PMO provides Guidelines for Developing TCKs, see:
http://java.sun.com/jcp/tck/tck_guidelines-10_tr7.pdf.
Tell us what you think!
Now is your chance to let us know--the PMO wants to hear your feedback
on the JCP Program. Over the next few weeks, you will receive a brief
survey via email consisting of approximately 30 questions. Please
participate by completing the survey and sending it back to us via
email. We look forward to your responses!
** Notable JSRs **
------------------
This section of the News Bulltin calls out JSRs that have news to share
with the Java Community. If your JSR has something newsworthy to report
then send an alert ("Hey PMO!") to jcp-pmo@sun.com.
JSR 1
-----
JSR 1, Real-time Specification for Java, is switching to continue under
JCP 2.0. Check http://java.sun.com/jcp/jsr/jsr_001_real_time.html for
details on this JSR.
JSR 70
------
JSR 70, the IIOP Protocol Adapter for JMX Specification, is getting back
on track with a new Spec Lead prepared to accept Expert nominations.
This specification will establish an IIOP based adapter for the
JMX Specification to allow CORBA clients access JMX agents. The new Spec
Lead is eager to start development as soon as the Expert Group is
