[Cfp-interest] WG14 proposal submission guidelines

[Rajan Bhakta]

Here are the guidelines for proposals to WG14 for inclusion into the next 
C Standard as per my action item:

Submission Guidelines
Without a set of acceptance criteria, judging any technical proposal 
becomes a highly subjective, and definitely emotional, exercise. It also 
wastes a lot of time and energy. Therefore, submitters are encouraged to 
keep all the guiding principles in mind when making submissions.
Guidelines for the submission of proposals will be provided. Each 
submission shall contain a cover page containing responses to a number of 
questions and further summary information enabling the essence of a 
submission to be distilled simply by reading that cover. The information 
requested will include such things as: title, author, author affiliation, 
date, document number, abstract, proposal category (e.g., editorial, 
correction, new feature), prior art, and target audience. (Prior art 
should include all commercial implementations and the history of these 
implementations. An experimental implementation is not considered a 
commercial implementation.) All proposals must have a WG 14 document 
number and be in a format suitable for electronic distribution, with the 
cover page as the first page of the document. (HTML, PDF, and MS Word are 
currently the formats WG 14 is using.)
Submissions must be sponsored in the same way as Defect Reports; that is, 
either by the convener of WG 14, WG 14 itself, or by a WG 14 national 
member body. This provides a filtering process and allows submissions to 
be rejected early in the process if they violate the revision principles. 
It also allows substantially incomplete or disjoint proposals to be 
returned for further refinement.
This is from the C2x charter here:
