Instructions for submitting proposals to the IEEE Open Firmware Working Group:

1.  Using the template, above, fill in the any fields enclosed in
    <angle brackets>. Do not include these instructions in
    your proposal.
2.  Send the proposal to p1275-proposal@prombo.eng.sun.com
    Put a short name of the proposal in the subject line.
    The subject line should contain the binding or document
    that the proposal applies to, if known.
    (The auto-generated proposal summary includes the number
     and subject line)

The proposal number generator will log the incoming message to an internal
file (in case there's a problem with the script), automatically assign a
proposal item number to the incoming proposal, edit the message as follows:

	- Prepend "Item %N%" to the Subject line.
	- Replace all instances of %N% with the assigned item number.
	- Item-stamp and time-stamp the message at the bottom of the file.

The updated proposal is logged to another internal file, then saved
to a file named "P1275.proposals/Item.<assigned-number>" and the
updated subject line is saved to a proposal summary file.

The summary file and proposal text files will be posted to playground
on an occaisional basis.

Note: Proposals can be submitted at any time, but should be submitted
      at least one week prior to a working group meeting, to assure
      that the proposal gets discussed at that working group meeting.
