[Tei-council] Entering Freeze period for v 4.4.0

Dear, All, I have now created the release branch for version 4.4.0 of the Guidelines (https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/tree/release-4.4.0) and for version 7.53.0 of the Stylesheets ( https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/tree/release-7.53.0) Please refrain from committing anything to dev until the release is completed. If you wish to make changes to the release branches, please notify the release technicians before pushing any change. The technicians are: Janelle Jenstad, Hugh Cayless, Raff Viglianti. Could the Jenkins maintainers add these branches to be built? Thanks everyone! Raff
