PCD Proposals

Work Item Process (Briefly)

At the 2017 April F2F, the PC reviewed the Development cycle and determined:

• 2 year cycles are not needed and lead to confusion on which cycle a Proposal falls into.
• Cycles will run April 1 - March 31.
• Cycle 12 began April 1, 2017.

Brief WorkItem Proposals are submitted for consideration (Aug - Sept)

The Planning Committee evaluates and prioritizes these proposals (Sept - Oct)

The Technical Committee considers their feasibility (e.g., standards and resources available) (Oct)

Detailed proposals are developed, led by the Planning Committee (Oct - Nov)

Recommendations are sent to the Technical Committee. (Nov-Dec)

Detailed WorkItem Proposals are evaluated by the Technical Committee (Dec)

Working Groups are formed to develop Supplements (technical documents) or Change Proposals for the approved proposals

• NOTE: Work item Proposals could either become:

• A new profile with a technical framework supplement
• Change Proposals to existing supplements or the technical framework
• White Papers
