Hi all,

@jeffc has submitted some important bugfixes to the specification repo, which I have checked and deemed appropriate. As per the PATCH process, I am informing the committee here so that any objections can be raised.

The bugs that Jeff found affect each the `3.0`, `3.1`, and `3.2` branches of the schema and he has kindly raised a separate PR for each of these branches. As per semantic versioning, this will result in some PATCH releases for each branch.

- [PR #586](https://github.com/openreferral/specification/pull/586) which is for branch `3.2`, and will result in a PATCH release of 3.2.3 when merged
- [PR #587](https://github.com/openreferral/specification/pull/587) which is for branch `3.1`, and will result in a PATCH release of 3.1.4 when merged
- [PR #588](https://github.com/openreferral/specification/pull/588) which is for branch `3.0`, and will result in a PATCH release of 3.0.1 when merged

If anyone has any questions or objections, please raise them here in the forum. If no objections are raised within 7 days, I will merge each of these PRs and issue the appropriate releases on 2026-03-17.

Thanks all,  
Matt
