[Testing] Closing Test in Release and QA Sign off bugs

[Kimberley Quirk]

The only issue I see is that 765 is probably not the final release and  
we are going to need to 'cram' test the final release more than  
spending a lot of time with 765.

Copying Ed and Michael on this as well as they will help figure out  
what release is our final one and they need to know that you (and  
others) are geared up to test... we just need to know what to test!

Thanks, Mel,
Kim
