5. Best Practice Rules for WG3 Drafts and Discussions

In order to facilitate processing of work items in WG3, the committee has adopted the following as best practices for activities in WG3:

• Document drafts and an issues list are due from editors 30 days prior to a meeting where a draft is to be discussed.
• Issues and/or objections from others are due 15 days prior to meetings where a draft is to be discussed. Objections should be emailed to the editors and to the [email protected] mailing list.
• Presenters are responsible for noting committee decisions and preparation of those decisions for inclusion in the minutes. Such decisions must be displayed to the group during the meeting to insure consensus. Such decisions should be supplied to the Convenor.
• New Work Items (NPs): Prior to adoption of NPs, requirements must be developed that have a substantial consensus among national bodies and a draft sufficiently complete to reach CD status within one year following adoption of the NP prior to approval of an NP.
• Editors are encouraged to post drafts online.
• Minutes must be published as soon as possible after each meeting.
