Governance

Governance#

For the time being, the governance process around the developed of this standard is relatively simple. This of the standard is managed by the Lead Author team.

The following process is followed for new proposals:

  1. New proposals are to be made in GitHub project’s Issues. Within the proposal’s issue a discussion is encouraged to refine the proposal.

  2. Each proposal should be developed in a separate branch from the current working draft branch (i.e., branching from draft-vX.X).

  3. When complete a Pull Request should be made to request merging into the working draft branch (i.e., merging into draft-vX.X), with a description of the included changes.

  4. The Lead Author team reviews the proposal and Approves/Rejects the Pull Request.

  5. At release milestones the working draft branch is merged into the main branch and a new draft branch is created.

Simple corrections for errors can be suggested by create an Issue on the GitHub and the Lead Author team will attempt to address them promptly.
