Rules and Guidelines

*NOTE:
Where a submission including a proposed methodology, PDD and accompanying additional/supporting documents contains information that the methodology proponents or project participants wish to be treated as confidential or proprietary, those entities are required to submit documentation in two versions:
(a) One version where all parts containing confidential or proprietary information are made illegible (e.g. by covering those parts with black ink or overwrite those parts with letters such as “XXX”) so that the version can be made publicly available without displaying confidential or proprietary information;
(b) Another version containing all information that is to be treated as strictly confidential or proprietary by all parties handling this documentation (the third-party entities, the Joint Committee members, external experts).
