| Part numbers should be continuously ascending from document to document (e.g. <code>1020-1:2009</code>, <code>1020-2:2011</code>, <code>1020-3:2012</code>) unless part numbers are used to organize large sets of multi-part documents. | ||

| The TC Chair shall assign document numbers in consultation with the document editor. Part numbers may be assigned at the request of the document editor at any time after a Project is approved and shall be assigned before a Final Committee Draft ballot is issued. |

TC Chair is not a defined term, Technology Committee Chair(s) is the term.
I recommend that the Standards Director shall be responsible for assigning the part number in consultation with the Technology Committee Chair(s) since it is the Standards Director that maintains the database of documents.

This is not common practice and HO does not track part numbers until documents are published. HO is also not necessarily aware of the part number systems used in some efforts e.g. DC, IMF or SMPTE ST 2110 used to organize documents of a standards suite. HO can't make a judgement on where in such a part number system to place a document because it sometimes requires technical expertise. Additionally, we may not know the history about why certain part numbers are not used. The TC chair and the document editor or DG are better suite to do that. I prefer Steve's proposal.
