The proposals that pass review will be entered into a release candidate, which will be presented to the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) Executive Committee as a comprehensive package. Any proposals not resolved and entered into the release candidate will be left open for further potential development. Proposals will be reviewed at least annually, and those that make no progress toward consensus may be dismissed by the Maintenance Group, though the record of discussions will be kept for future reference.
The role of the Executive Committee is to ensure that due process has been followed in the development of the candidate release and to endorse it officially as a vocabulary enhancement. The Executive Committee does not assess the merit of the proposals at this stage - their opportunity to do that is in the public review.
The role of the Executive Committee is to ensure that due process has been followed in the development of the candidate release and to endorse it officially as a vocabulary enhancement. The Executive Committee does not assess the merit of the proposals at this stage - their opportunity to do that is in the public review. The Executive Committee [relies on the Technical Architecture Group](https://www.tdwg.org/about/committees/tag/#responsibilities) to confirm that the technical aspects of proposals are clear, complete, and consistent with the overall activities of TDWG.
The Executive Committee will inform the Maintenance Group of its decision within 30 days of presentation for ratification. That decision may be to amend the submission or it might be to ratify the release. Any amendments are the responsibility of the Maintenance Group to make and resubmit to the Executive Committee. In the case of a decision to ratify the release, the Maintenance Group will modify all relevant documents, create the new release (see [releases](https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/releases)), and notify the Executive Committee, which will announce the successful update to the standard.
