DSTU Publishing Guidance

DSTU Approval Process, from GOM

• Requesting extensions to DSTU should use criteria determined in the TSC’s conference call 2009-03-09, stating:

Sufficient justification should be provided to describe effort in progress to move the standard towards a normative ballot, such as evidence of current trial activity, if they have a credible expectation that a normative document will be produced within a requested timeframe, given that trials are currently underway. The request must include the length of time required to extend the DSTU, including conclusion of the pilot and subsequent balloting activity...If you send the completed form to me (LynnL) I can put it on the TSC agenda.
