Going to Candidate Recommendation

  1. Record the group's decision to request advancement;
  2. Indicate whether the document has been modified substantively since the previous step: A substantive change (whether deletion, inclusion, or other modification) is one where someone could reasonably expect that making the change would invalidate an individual's review or implementation experience;
  3. Report which, if any, of the Working Group's requirements for this document have changed since the previous step;
  4. Report any changes in dependencies with other groups;
  5. Show evidence of wide review;
  6. Formally address all issues raised;
  7. Report any formal objections.

When satisfied, the Director will announce Candidate Recommendation
