I like this but I'm under the impression that these are ISTO IEEE numbers and not sure we can just add the prefix. ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM Printing Systems ---------------------------------------------- <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <td>"Hastings, Tom N" <hastings@cp10.es.xerox.com> Sent by: owner-pwg@pwg.org 03/13/2003 03:42 PM <td>                To:        pwg@pwg.org         cc:                 Subject:        RE: PWG> Document numbering - Candidates vs Standards</table> An other alternative is to keep the same number, but have some letter prefixes, such as CS to mean candidate standard.   Thus the official PWG number for a Candidate Standard versus Standard for Skywritting would be:   Ex CS-5300.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (Candidate Standard)   STD-5350.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (STANDARD)   For example, I seem to recall that ANSI standards say BSR nnnn for a draft standard (which stands for Board of Standard Review, as I recall) while the standard is being voted on.   Tom Original Message----- From: Harry Lewis [mailto:harryl@us.ibm.com] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 13:48 To: don@lexmark.com Cc: pwg@pwg.org Subject: PWG> Document numbering - Candidates vs Standards Don, we're struggling in the PWG process discussion about ISTO numbers and when and how they should be assigned in the process. First, we said no ISTO number until STANDARD. Some feel Candidate Standards should have numbers and we're considering a hack on the numbering to indicate CS from STANDARD. Ex 5300.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (Candidate Standard)   5350.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (STANDARD) You (and others) must have experience with IEEE standards progression (1284.x). Can you shed some light on the IEEE/ISTO numbering, what level of maturity they expect when a number is assigned, how we might go about assigning numbers to CS as well as S? ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM Printing Systems ----------------------------------------------
