# Commitment templates

## Summary

Asking potential adopters to sign-up and give their support to the standard.

## Description

Draft commitments are templates for adopters to copy or adapt before signing and making public. By providing a draft, a standard can ensure that adopters are aware of what they are expected to commit to at the start of the process, and by providing a path of least resistance to a high bar of adoption, a standard organisation can ensure that there is less risk of implementers crafting their own, lower, commitment to adoption.

## Prioritisation Factors

- If a standard requires a relatively high level of commitment to be useful
- If a standard is targeting public sector organisations that are keen to formally launch commitments
- If a very early-stage standard requires commitment in principle before development begins
