Community Process — ANDM Improvement Proposal

Propose a gap in the standard.

If you have identified a conformance requirement the ANDM Standard should address but does not — a gap, an ambiguity, or a domain extension — submit it here. Every submission is recorded in the Chandra audit chain and reviewed by the General Reasoning editorial team.

Before submitting, read how the community process works. Proposals that pass editorial review enter deliberation for the next version. Accepted proposals are incorporated with attribution.

ANDM Improvement Proposal — Submission Form
Included in the audit record and attribution if the proposal is accepted.

A concise description of what you are proposing. This becomes the proposal identifier.
Not required, but proposals grounded in implementation experience carry more weight.

Audit record. This submission is recorded in the Chandra Protocol audit chain — append-only and hash-chained. Your proposal receives a permanent chain unit reference. By submitting, you agree that your name, organization, proposal title, and submission date will be included in the audit record and may be published with attribution if the proposal is accepted.
You will receive an email confirmation.
Editorial response within 30 days.

What happens after you submit

Your submission is immediately written as a chain unit in the Chandra audit ledger at chandraprotocol.org. On success, your permanent chain unit ID is displayed on screen immediately — the immutable Chandra reference for your proposal.

The General Reasoning editorial team reviews all submissions. Most proposals receive an initial editorial response within 30 days. If your proposal is out of scope, you will receive a written explanation. If it passes initial review, it enters deliberation for the next version cycle. You will be notified of all status changes at the email address you provided.

Accepted proposals are incorporated into the next version of the ANDM Standard with your name and organization credited in the version changelog.
