As scheduled, ICD Revision posted a Frozen Release of the ICD-11 Beta draft today, April 4, 2017.
This is a stable version of the draft for use by the centres that are signed up for field testing the Beta draft for utility.
This PDF document sets out information of the field trial process:
ICD-11 Field Trials, Information and Terms of Engagement, 17 March 2017

Here are screenshots from the April 4, 2017 Frozen Release for the ICD-10 G93.3 legacy terms, “postviral fatigue syndrome,” “benign myalgic encephalomyelitis,” and “chronic fatigue syndrome.”
There is no change to these terms in the Frozen Release compared with how they had stood on March 26, when the three terms were finally restored to the Beta draft.
Frozen Release: April 4, 2017: Postviral fatigue syndrome
Fatigue, below, displaying exclusions for BME and CFS. Two of the longstanding proposals that I had submitted on December 30, 2014, were approved and marked as “Implemented” on March 26, when the G93.3 legacy terms were finally returned to the draft with this caveat:
“While the optimal place in the classification is still being identified, the entity has been put back to its original place in ICD.” Team WHO 2017-Mar-26 – 12:46 UTC
NB: My proposal of December 30, 2014 for an exclusion for the concept title “Postviral fatigue syndrome” was not approved and implemented on March 26, when PVFS’s two inclusion terms were approved. I have queried the rationale for this apparent anomaly with “Team WHO” but have yet to receive any response.
Frozen Release: April 4, 2017: Fatigue
