An important goal of the Auto-ID Center is to recommend standards. This document sets forth a proposal for a formal process for discussing, creating and documenting standards recommendations. In essence we describe the evolution of a technical document from the stage where it represents a fledgeling idea to the stage where it represents a recommendation for a standard. The structure proposed here is inspired by the very successful model created and used by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The original W3C document is available at: www.w3.org/Consortium/ Process-20010719/tr.html#Recs. The structure also captures the realities of developing hardware standards, and the spirit of the Auto-ID Center. The document has three major sections. Section 2 deals with the membership of the recommendation-forming groups, and the audiences of these groups. Section 3 deals with the process of forming a recommendation. Section 4 deals with documentation.
