PCD Proposals

Work Item Process (Briefly)

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
