Notes for Editors
The link to SIP-053 provides temporary access to its Annex C requirement page while that record is being created and reviewed.
After the record is complete, replace the locally maintained Statement with a transclusion of its authoritative Statement.
SIP-010 through SIP-012 govern the underlying Artifact lifecycles. SIP-014 and SIP-015 govern jurisdictional control. SIP-049 requires the general architectural concern and lifecycle description.
SIP-053 brings those requirements together as a required Governance and jurisdictional Authority description without replacing or renumbering their authoritative requirements.
The Required Coverage table provides a nonnormative summary. The corresponding Annex C requirement records remain authoritative.
