PROPOSAL: Cluster 14 - RESTLOW (39 candidates)

["Steven M. Christey" <coley@linus.mitre.org>]

The following cluster contains the remaining low-controversy
candidates.

Phase schedule:
  scheduled-modification 7/7
  scheduled-interim 7/12
  scheduled-final 7/16

Assuming a 50% ACCEPT rate for all low-vulnerability clusters and no
significant slippage in Interim Decision dates, the Editorial Board
will have validated approximately 140 vulnerabilities by July 16th.

Note that I have cleansed today's proposed clusters to remove
vulnerabilities that could be affected by content decision debates
(why don't I just go and start calling them "content meta-decisions"
;-)

- Steve
