The current stage is what is being discussed on this list. Jeremy and
I announced a draft formal proposal last November, although it wasn't
really in the format that would be needed for the JCP process. It has
been difficult to get much feedback on it, and it is only now that
some of the experts on the topic of memory models have been getting
back to us with comments (or promises of comments).
To force things to move along, the expert group will be voting in a
few weeks on what formal model to adopt as the basis for the Java
memory model.
