1.4.3Measures to facilitate the consideration of contributions

It was agreed that, due to the continuingly high workload for this meeting, the group would try to rely more extensively on summary CE reports. For other contributions, it was agreed that generally presentations should not exceed 5 minutes to achieve a basic understanding of a proposal – with further review only if requested by the group. For cross-verification contributions, it was agreed that the group would ordinarily only review cross-checks for proposals that appear promising.

When considering cross-check contributions, it was agreed that, to the extent feasible, the following data should be collected:

• 
  Subject (including document number).
  
• 
  Whether common conditions were followed.
  
• 
  Whether the results are complete.
  
• 
  Whether the results match those reported by the contributor (within reasonable limits, such as minor compiler/platform differences).
  
• 
  Whether the contributor studied the algorithm and software closely and has demonstrated adequate knowledge of the technology.
  
• 
  Whether the contributor independently implemented the proposed technology feature, or at least compiled the software themselves.
  
• 
  Any special comments and observations made by a cross-check contributor.
