The community review will close on Wednesday (Sept 14th) 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 1.8.0 (then containing NIRS as a modality, among several more minor changes as documented in the BIDS changelog).
