Hi all, I wanted to update the group that earlier this week, LSC held a vote and voted to keep the original sunset date of LEED 2009 (the last day LEED projects can submit for registration of that system) as June 30, 2021.
USGBC is also working on a plan that will encourage projects to use LEED v4 through incentives and education. An article posted yesterday detailing some of the activities underway: http://www.usgbc.org/articles/new-offerings-leed-v4-projects.

Can the USGBC Marketing & Communications VP please use accurate terminology.
"The registration close date for all LEED 2009 rating systems has been extended to October 31, 2016. Please note, while the registration date has been extended, the last day projects can submit for CERTIFICATION, also called the sunset date, remains the same: June 30, 2021. The decision to keep the sunset date in 2021 was voted and approved by the LEED Steering Committee."

USGBC was actually going to *charge* project teams $100 to switch from v3 to v4? Are you kidding? USGBC should offering free registration and a rebate for those willing to move from v3 to v4 given all of the wavering, misinformation, and uncertainty around the new system.
And the web site still has no iOS support. Come on, USGBC. Get with the program!

Thank you Bill, for your correction. Even the Marketing & Communications VP makes errors sometimes!
