White Paper Outline

[Smokey Lynne L Bare <slbare -at- JUNO -dot- COM>]

Eric,

Here is a standard outline I use and co-developed.  This White Paper
usually follows once the Green Paper has been signed off on by all
responsible parties.

White Paper Procedure

Definition:  A White Paper is a report that explores a particular topic,
problem, or issue in detail, and sets forth recommendations for future
action.  It contains an executive summary, statements of purpose, scope
and approach, discussion of assumptions, pros/cons, resources, costs, and
scheduling requirements, a summary that includes conclusions and
recommendations, and appendices, if applicable.

Date

I do have definitions  for the above mentioned items, but this outline
should help you get started.

The following is a suggestion for the order in which you can develop the
report and make it easier to write.
