Process

  1. Define a purpose and target audience for the document, together with a table of contents.
  2. Review and amend these informally if we can make that work, but more formally (raising formal issues) if we run into problems.
  3. Fill in the blanks. It may not be appropriate to attempt a full draft before a first review because of dependencies, but we will see.
  4. Review draft document and amend, informally where possible, formally when that doesn't work.
  5. Repeat 3 & 4 until we have reached consensus, or a point where a vote is necessary to resolve any issues.
  6. I will propose a motion for acceptance of the document.
  7. The document becomes subject to its own provisions for revision and improvement.
