PROPOSE AN EXTENSION TO ANS FORTH

Anyone can make a proposal, but they must be meet the requirments of a full ANS proposal. Where possible proposals must conform to the following criteria:
  1. Consist of specific wording changes or additions to the standard, rather than statements of policy.

  2. Include a rational for the proposal, including a citation of common practice in which the proposed technology has been proven.
A proposal should provide information in the following headings:
Title
A one line summary of the proposal.

Proposal
The proposed alteration to the current ('94) standard. Where possible this should include the page and the text you wish to delete and/or add.

Typical Use
Examples of how you envisage the proposed technology being used.

Remarks
Additional comments, implementation comments, side-effects, etc.

Experience
Examples of current practice, experiences with the proposed alteration.
Remember that you need to provide sufficient information for others to implement your proposal on their system. Proposals should be submitted electronically by sending plain text (7-bit ASCII) to me at pjk@bcs.org.uk. Any proposal that does not meet these criteria will either be rejected outright or returned to the submitter for further development.
