1. IEEE P1603 reviewer’s guideline Wolfgang Roethig, WG chair

2. Please review the IEEE P1603 document for the following criteria Clarity Contents Completeness Consistency Practicality Organization Style

3. Clarity Is the contents understandable? Does the section/subsection describe what the title says? If not, should the title be changed or the section/subsection be rewritten? Feel free to ask questions for clarification Don’t assume that someone else (with more expertise on the subject?) will understand if you don’t

4. Contents Does the proposed contents fulfill a purpose? Is the proposed contents acceptable? If not, please state the reasons and draft alternative proposal – be brief

5. Completeness Is a section complete in itself? Are appropriate references given to other sections/subsections or to external documents? If information is missing, is it found in other sections/subsections? – please identify Feel free to draft a proposal that fills the blanks

6. Consistency Are there any contradictions within a section/subsection? Are there any contradictions between sections/subsections? Propose resolutions for apparent contradictions

7. Practicality Is the proposed contents practical for new implementations? Is the proposed contents compatible with existing implementations? Are changes with respect to previous versions justified? Give practical examples, if there are issues

8. Organization Are the topics presented in an appropriate order? Do the topics of a section/subsection belong together? Are topics that belong together found in the same section/subsection? Feel free to propose an alternative organization

9. Style Simplicity: any suggestions to shorten a 300 page document are welcome Tables and figures are as important as text Check for correct and concise terminology No need to report typos and grammar in detail: this is the responsibility of the technical editor

10. How to give feedback Email to alf@eda.org is bestalf@eda.org Break it into several emails if subject is long Please refer to version, page and line numbers Direct editing of source text by reviewer should be exception, not rule
