Based on the USGBC homepage, I had been telling people last night that the comment period closes today at 9 a.m. EDT. However, I received the following communication thiis morning from USGBC:

Despite our efforts to widely communicate the one-week extension for third public comment, overnight we heard from a few folks who thought they had all of Tuesday, rather than the 9 am EST cut-off we had communicated. Since it won’t materially affect the schedule, we’re extending the cut-off until 5 pm EST today, March 27, 2012.

Let's keep the conversation going. The 3rd public comment period is closed, but we're all going to have to figure out how to vote in the upcoming ballot (that's assuming we don't see a 4th public comment). Please continue to post your LEED 2012 thoughts here: both big-picture on where it's taking the market (or not), and on specific credit issues.

thanks for keeping the door open, Tristan. Here's my 2-cents' worth...if there are substantive changes from the last version, there needs to be a 4th comment period. If there are no substantive changes, then I could not support anything coming out of the 3rd comment draft that did not have pretty major changes. So, if there is no 4th comment draft, then a 'yes' vote from me is pretty unlikely.

Rob and others, as you may have heard by now, USGBC has announced a 4th public comment period to run May 1–15. LEEDuser will keep you posted on the details.

Tristan, can you setup the link to comments for the 4th comment period...it's already 2nd May and search as I might I can't find any links to the USGBC documents or comment page...neither here nor of USGBC.org

Barry, sorry for not posting about that. I don't see that USGBC has updated its website, but word on the street is that opening of the 4th comment period has been delayed by at least a few days. We will post here just as soon as it's out.

Well it now shows on the USGBC website that 4th comment period is delayed but that when open the comment period would last the full 15 days. Were we not supposed to be at ballot on June 1st? might not leave a lot of time for staff and TAGs to reply to comments
