The updated draft is available for review at:

Note that the content of that HTML page may change as suggestions are accepted during the review process.

Comments and suggestions may be submitted on GitHub at:

The community review will close on Wednesday (March 8th) at 23:59 UTC.

If no larger issues occur, all open comments and suggestions will be resolved in the following days and merged into the BEP.

Afterwards, the BEP will be merged into the BIDS specification, followed by a 5-business-day long feature freeze and the release of BIDS 1.9.0

(then containing Motion as a modality, among several more minor changes as documented in the BIDS changelog).

# Release Procedure

When it is time to release, use a pull request to put the repository into a releasable state,
allowing testing and edits prior to merging to master.
The following procedure ensures a predictable release.

The protocol assumes that you have a [fork](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo)
of the bids-standard/bids-specification repository and have [cloned](https://help.github.com/en/articles/cloning-a-repository)
your fork locally to a directory called `bids-specification`.

NOTE: Before you start a release, you have to ensure that the automatically generated changelog is
**up to date**. See the relevant [section in CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#how-is-the-changelog-generated)
for further information. In practice this means ensuring that the most recently merged pull request was
merged into the `master` branch using the "Merge commit" option.

### 1. Fetch the latest version of the [master branch of the BIDS-specification](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/tree/master)

You should have a remote, which we will call `upstream`, for the
[bids-standard/bids-specification](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/)
repository:
