This document will be published in the GGF Document series as a PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION GFD.022

A Proposed Recommendation may advance to become a RECOMMENDATION according to the process outlined in GFD.1.  (see below).  Implementation and 
experience with this proposed recommendation is encouraged.

3.4.2  GGF Recommendation

Once a document is published as a GFD-R-P, a 24-month timer will begin during which period it  is expected that operational experience will be gained 
will mean that at least two interoperable  implementations (from different code bases and, in the case of licensed code, from two separate  license 
agreements) must be demonstrated (if appropriate).  The entire protocol or specification  must be implemented in the interoperable implementations. 
The GFSG will determine whether  interoperable implementations (or implementations in software at all) are necessary or whether  operational 
experience can be gained in a more appropriate fashion.    

A document must remain at the GFD-R-P level for a minimum of 6 months.      

Within the 24-month period that begins with publication as a GFD-R-P, the operational  experience must be documented in the form of one or more GFD-E 
documents.  When the  working group chairs determine that sufficient operational experience has been achieved and  documented, they will submit a 
request, along with a summary of the GFD-R-P and the  associated GFD-E documents, to the GFSG for review.  The review will focus on the operational  
experience as it relates to verifying feasibility and utility of the GFD-R-P recommendations.

I have reviewed the changes made to this document during final public comment, and accept them as Area Director. This document is in great shape, and 
all agree it is complete. This document is ready for publication.

Document has completed public comment. View comments in the Editor Project Forum For this specific document at https://forge.gridforum.org/forum/forum
.php?forum_id=390.

This document has entered 60day public comment period with the updated version after the last public comment period.  Due date 4/19/2004.

Authors have submitted an updated version. The following was done to the document:

1) Answered all the comments that arose from the public review period
2) Introduced notational conventions from RFC-2119 [RFC 2119]
document.
3) Did lots of document polishing off NONNORMATIVE text.
4) Went thru the lengthy synchronization process alongside two reference DRMAA implementations.	
5) Added several clarifications.

Authors have submitted new draft addressing all comments received during pubcom period.  Authors assert that the normative changes are minimal, 
therefore an additional 60d comment period is likely not needed.

Editor has asked for feedback from ADs.
