As noted in section 10 of the REFEDS Participation Agree= ment, REFEDS Working Groups produce prospective REFEDS specifications, = standards, best practices, and related documents and provide them to the RE= FEDS community for review. This is called a Consultation, which typically s= pans a four to six week period. Feedback gathered through Consultation is c= onsidered by the referring Working Group to take into account either to pro= duce a final draft form of the document that then is submitted to the REFED= S Steering Committee for final adoption, or to "go back to the drawing boar= d" and consider whether a substantially different proposal should go forwar= d. The purpose of consultations is to ensure that broad consensus is = achieved within the community. Consistent consultation and consensus = gathering means that adoption is significantly more likely.
From time-to-time, REFEDS is asked to become the custodian of outputs fr= om other organisations. Typically these outputs will go through a REF= EDS consultation before being accepted (unless there are good reasons not t= o complete such a process). Requests such as these will first be cons= idered by the REFEDS Steering Committee and will take into account the foll= owing points:
the proposal must support the objectives / purpose of REFEDS.
the proposal must have a clear benefit for REFEDS Participants and t= he REFEDS Community.
the proposal must receive support from REFEDS Participants by being = socialised to REFEDS lists before consultation.
the proposal must follow the formal REFEDS consultation process and = accept changes / outcomes proposed by REFEDS.
