The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.
Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE DYSPAN SC.
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within IEEE DYSPAN SC. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

Introduction
The purpose of this contribution is to facilitate the creation of the Draft Table of Contents and the Development Procedure document
Draft Table of Contents describes structure of the future draft indicating the key topics to be standardized
Draft Table of Contents needs to be approved by the WG
Two-thirds (supermajority) vote is recommended
Development Procedure document describes guidelines to create P draft standard up to starting WG Letter Ballot
Development Procedure needs to be approved by the WG

Draft ToC
Draft Table of Contents is a set of topics that the WG wants to specify in the P draft standard
Draft Table of Contents is not the final table of contents
Draft standard can be restructured before the WG Letter Ballot
Draft Table of Contents describes the consensus of the WG on what shall be described in the draft standard to satisfy the scope of the P1900.7

4. Development Procedure
25/02/2019
Development Procedure
Two key approaches are typically used to create a draft standard
Step-by-step contribution
No need for development procedure document
Downselection
Development procedure document is needed

5. Step-by-step Contribution
25/02/2019
Step-by-step Contribution
Procedure
WG members can cover any topics within the scope of P within their contributions
If the WG approves a contribution by motion (two-thirds is recommended), it is included in the current version of the draft standard
Advantages
WG members do not need to allocate large resources to write contributions
Drawbacks
Difficult to ensure consistency among contributors
Difficult to finalize the draft standard
Slide 5

6. Downselection Procedure Advantages Drawbacks
25/02/2019
Downselection
Procedure
WG members need to contribute one or more full sections
WG selects one of the proposals for each section using downselection procedure
Example of the procedure is described in development-process.doc
Advantages
Easy to ensure consistency among contributors
Easy to finalize the draft standard in time
Drawbacks
WG members need to allocate large resources to write contributions
