Change Proposals (CPs) may be submitted to the DICOM Secretariat (dicom@dicomstandard.org).

• DICOM_WG-06_CP_Template
• Anyone who identifies an error in the Standard or a need for clarification of the Standard is invited to submit a CP.
• CPs will be reviewed and processed by DICOM WG-6.
• CPs are assigned to a member of WG-6; subsequent participation by the submitter is welcome but not required.
• Progress of CPs may be found in the minutes of WG-6.
• Eventually CPs are collected into a CPack and distributed in a ballot to members of the DICOM Standards Committee.
• Approved Final Text CPs are incorporated into the next edition of the Standard.

What Are Change Proposals?

A Change Proposal is a small document to describe and address an issue like:

• Ambiguities - the Standard is not precise and/or leads to multiple interpretations.
• Omissions - necessary text is missing from the Standard.
• Inconsistencies - two or more sections of the Standard conflict.
• Clarifications - the Standard is correct but additional text would facilitate interpretation.
• Errata - normative or informative text in the Standard contains an error.

Refer to the DICOM Standard Development Process for further details on how Change Proposals are processed.
