What was proposed, and what we did with it
Substantive submissions from the consultation window are recorded here with the reason for the decision.
| Ref | Proposed | Outcome | Reason given |
|---|---|---|---|
S-0104 | Split D6.L3.04 into separate statements for evaluation design and reporting. | ACCEPTED | Writing rule 1. The statement joined two actions with “and” and was therefore two statements. |
S-0119 | Name the two most common commercial evaluation platforms in D6 evidence examples. | REJECTED | Writing rule 4. Core statements and their examples are vendor-neutral. |
S-0127 | Move prompt-injection statements from D8 to D3. | REJECTED | Board decision. The competence is a security competence exercised through interaction, and the D3–D8 boundary note now says so explicitly. |
S-0133 | Publish the deprecation register before any deprecation exists. | ACCEPTED | A register that appears only once it has entries cannot be shown to be complete. Published empty with a full-sentence state. |
Every submission received a written response citing the writing rule or the evidence on which it was decided.
