After a few false starts, this project is finally moving ahead after we were able to successfully secure a grant to pay for a portion of the costs. The new anticipated release date is summer or early-fall of 2021, but the number of chapters being updated has been expanded somewhat from the original plan. Initial drafts from contributors to the editors are due at the end of summer 2019, with edited copies going to reviewers in spring 2020. It is anticipated that the new manual will be available (as a PDF) for free, but that associations (or the NAMSC) might also choose to sell bound copies.
