That hasn't been decided yet. My guess is that the committee (actually, the
Library Working Group) will grant leeway for detail revisions if it is a
proposal they like. If there is a lot of opposition to the basic concept of
the proposed library, they may be less flexible.

Beyond the TR, the schedule gets fuzzy. For example, the committee is
clearly very interested, and actively working on, a revision to the full
standard. But ISO hasn't approved that yet, and hasn't set a schedule for
the revision assuming they do approve it.
Another factor is participation. How many people show up at meetings, how
many people volunteer to do work? The committee, like Boost, is an all
volunteer organization. If no one volunteers, the work doesn't get done.
That's why Boosters on the committee have tried to encourage other Boosters
to participate on the committee, either formally or informally.
