Decimal Upgrade to 1.03
Revisions to version 1.03
The second decimal upgrade grade of the standard was proposed to occur during the spring of 2013, but faced delays that meant the timetable had to be revised. The process for doing so is outlined below.
You can contribute issues to be considered in future upgrades in the knowledge base.
Full proposals were worked up on the Changes Specification page on the wiki.
