Instructions for Submitting a GGF Draft (Please read all steps prior to submitting)

1. Make sure your draft document meets the requirements for all Grid Working Drafts prior to submission. If your document is not intended to be a Grid Working Draft, then some of the requirements may not apply.
2. Go to the Submit document form for the Editor project (please login if you have not already done so).
3. Browse to the document you wish to submit and select it (thus, populating the Upload File field). If your document is a text only document and you wish to paste your document into the Paste Document pane, then leave the Upload File field blank.
4. Select the appropriate File Type (e.g., PDF) from the drop down (this MUST match the type of the file you are submitting).
5. Fill in the Document Title and Description fields.
6. If you provided a file for upload in step 3, then leave the Paste Document pane empty. Otherwise, paste your text-only document into the Paste Document pane.
7. Select "Public" form the Access Type drop-down.
8. In the Category drop-down, find the appropriate Area abbreviation (e.g., APME) under the "GGF9_DRAFT" category. Please make sure the Area selected is NOT under "GGF8_DRAFTS". For example, if you are submitting a draft for the OGSI working group, you would select the "ARCH" category under GGF9_DRAFTS.
9. Make sure that both the "Lock this Document" and "This document needs to be reviewed" check boxes are not checked.
10. Make sure you have read and agree to the "Acceptable Document Usage" guidelines and have selected the check box.
11. After pressing "Add File", you should get a document URL toward the top of your form. If you do not get this URL, the document submission failed and you must retry.
