Proposal Project Team and task • Set up a formal Project Team for the development of the stage 0 project • Tasks: • To elaborate on the structure for the series of publications • To develop part 1 to a state where it can be appended to a formal new work item proposal • To propose product/plants for which application examples could be prepared (These examples should then preferably be developed by specific teams with the appropriate application knowledge)

Proposal Rationale and usage • Especially useful for Small and Medium size Enterprises and organizations that have limited resources for the study of standards • …
It is a demanding task, even if the publications are just reports!
