Title: Shall-Will-Should in 802.20 Requirements v5 - C802.20-03-6921

Hi All:

I recommend the following wording for "shall", "will", should", etc. for inclusion in 802.20 Requirements document:

The following terminology identifies the designation of mandatory versus non-mandatory requirements:

"shall" expresses a provision that is binding
"should" and "may" expresses non-mandatory provisions
"will" expresses a declaration of purpose. It may be necessary to use "will" in cases where the simple future tense is required
