Quality - SISO activities and resulting products shall reflect technical excellence and the highest quality work. Discipline - SISO shall exercise due process in all activities. Policies and procedures shall be publicly available and shall serve as the basis for governing the organization and its activities. Fairness - SISO activities shall provide the right of appeal at all levels. Openness - SISO activities shall be carried out in an open forum where any person has access to the process. Consensus - SISO decisions shall be based on simple majority agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise. Votes and ballots can be conducted in person, by teleconference, or by electronic balloting, as appropriate and as established by the Product Development Group for each balloted effort.

The product of the HLA Evolved PDG will be an updated standard (e.g., IEEE Std 1516 (.1 and.2) -2006).

7. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 7 - Balloted Products Development Process (BPDP) BPDP provides direction on the development of SISO balloted products; does not cover non-balloted products Builds on SISO Policies & Procedures Provides specific SAC guidance Is a comprehensive document Input from a broad range of experts - Current & past SAC members - HLA developers - RPR FOM PDG - FEDEP PDG - SEDRIS PDGs Every PDG does not have to “reinvent” the process

8. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 8 - Six Step Process We Are Here

9. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 9 - Step 1: Activity Approval : Done Complete SISO Product Nomination (PN) Review PN to assess impact on SISO Approve Product Nomination SAC appoints - Interim Chair – Roy Scrudder - Technical Area Director – Katherine L. Morse

10. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 10 - Step 2: Product Development Launch development activity PDG elects Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, DGs Establish development schedule Produce the product or product component Monitor PDG activities Submit draft product to SAC and EXCOM for 'Approval to Ballot' This meeting & Euro SIW Kickoff

11. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 11 - Step 3: Product Balloting Ballot will be by the IEEE-Standards Association via IEEE processes

12. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 12 - Step 4 : Product Approval Submit balloted product(s) and supporting material to the SAC for review Review balloted product(s) and supporting material for compliance with PDG charter and SISO Product development procedures Approve product(s) and recommend product(s) disposition Forward package to the EXCOM for approval Accept product(s) as a SISO Product Notify SAC that product is ready for distribution Post announcement to the SISO community via the SISO ADMIN reflector

13. HLA Evolved PDG 2004 Spring SIW - 13 - Step 5 : Distribution and CM Conduct initial CM on new SISO Product Store approved SISO Product(s) in the SISO Document Library Distribute new SISO Product Maintain revisions as required

14.
