Building codes generally run on a 3 year cycle, and I think LEED will probably be on a similar 2-3 year revision schedule rather than an annual one. Running it too fast doesn't allow people to plan adequately in advance. I haven’t seen the draft just yet; I think I’ll get it later today.

I'm very interested in what other people think about it. My first impressions are that the USGBC is trying to shed the "too rigid" label from the LEED program. From the memo: "LEED is not a building code, and in so, policy mechanisms will be retained to allow for LEED to react to the rapidly changing green building industry" It's great to see that extra points can be awarded for regional issues - now comes the argument over just what each region's environmental needs are. They're labeling the new version LEED 2009. Will there be an updated version each year? I just got this memo, too. I’m very interested in what other people think about it.
