Given the severe constraints on committee time and implementation resources for C++29, the DG strongly encourages adherence to the following procedural guidelines in addition to Section 5 Process of P2000 as guidance to the chairs and members:

* **Safety and Profiles Framework:** A suggested roadmap for this cycleis detailed in the standalone
paper:  P3970r0: **Profiles and Safety: a call to** action.

* **Encouraging Convergence:** Chairs are asked to act as matchmakers to help merge competing
proposals See **P4024R0: Guidance on Building Consensus and Converging** Proposals.

* **AI Authorship Guidelines:** Human authors should always remain the 'intelligence of record.' See
**P4023R0: Strategic Direction for AI in C++: Governance, and** Ecosystem.
