Review the Preparedness Framework at least once a year

Why this ruling

The 2026-04-15 deadline is derived from the v2 "at least once a year" annual-review cadence (Preparedness Framework v2, 2025-04-15), not an OpenAI-stated date. No 2026 Preparedness Framework review had been published as of 2026-06-18. The May 2026 Frontier Governance Framework is a separate document and does not update the Preparedness Framework.
