Progression
A deliverable advances one stage at a time. Skipping a stage requires a resolution of the Technical Management Board recorded in the foreword. Where the enquiry ballot fails, the document returns to stage 30 for redrafting; a second failure results in deletion of the work item.
Withdrawal is not reversible. A withdrawn reference number is never reissued, so that citations remain unambiguous in the historical record. See the Standards Style Manual, Part 2 for the header apparatus that carries the code.
