Consultation record

What was proposed, and what we did with it

Substantive submissions from the consultation window are recorded here with the reason for the decision.

RefProposedOutcomeReason given
S-0104Split D6.L3.04 into separate statements for evaluation design and reporting.ACCEPTEDWriting rule 1. The statement joined two actions with “and” and was therefore two statements.
S-0119Name the two most common commercial evaluation platforms in D6 evidence examples.REJECTEDWriting rule 4. Core statements and their examples are vendor-neutral.
S-0127Move prompt-injection statements from D8 to D3.REJECTEDBoard decision. The competence is a security competence exercised through interaction, and the D3–D8 boundary note now says so explicitly.
S-0133Publish the deprecation register before any deprecation exists.ACCEPTEDA 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.
