7. Publishing C63.4a Amendment
In accordance with IEEE-SA Style for publishing amendments, track changed were shown
The expectation was that both tracked changes and a clean version would be shown in a single PDF
This deviates from IEEE-SA Style for amendments
Working with C63 leadership, IEEE-SA editorial staff proposed to replace the existing amendment with a PDF that shows a clean version of the changes by rewording the editing instructions
Use the instructions "Replace" instead of "Change."
Will not include both sets of changes in one PDF
This will replace the existing version
The tracked changes version will be provided for the convenience of the working group
This will not be the official amendment
The reworked publication will be available in Techstreet and Xplore soon
