9. Editorial Streamlining (1)
July 2007
November 2007
Editorial Streamlining (1)
Focus is on consistency across all TGs:
Stable Sub-Clause Numbering
We had down selected from 3 candidate proposals to 2: “correct” and “sticky”. See 07/2308r1.
We established many criteria for evaluation: reader and voter clarity, REVCOM approval risks, editor labor
Goal was to select method in November.
Discussion
Don’t want to number definitions correctly – perceived to be a waste of time
Editors occasionally will use “sticky” technique (IEEE numbering style to insert material before other draft material)
Motion: Our goal is to use correct numbering, except in definitions.
Unanimously approved
Stable numbering investigation now concluded.
