8. Development of the Draft Standard

9. Tips for Draft Development l Develop an outline l Assign writing among working group members l Technical editor gathers inputs and ensures technical consistency l Avoid writing document in meetings l Working with an IEEE Project Editor speeds the project l Refer to IEEE Standards Style Manual for document structure and utulize draft template.
