Step 3 - rotation (passing around the document)

Translate

This is the major point of the whole PAD process - to pass around the document, improving it further and further until the group is satisfied it is ready for publication. You should keep the order of rotation in a queue (see the tail). Before passing the PAD on, you should move your name from the top to the bottom of the queue. The representative decides the initial order. Please remember that the draft creator will probably not be interested in modifying his own work before anyone else.

When you receive the PAD, look at the queue. If your name is on top it's your turn to revise the document. See Description 2for details on this procedure. When done, sign the history with 'Seen by:' followed by date and name, and a list of the modifications you made. If none, write 'unchanged'. You still hold the right to modify it later. Finally, send the PAD to the next person and copy it to the other group member(s) and the PAD organiser.

The above is repeated until everyone in the group has marked the PAD as unchanged in the same round. Then the representative asks if all members are satisfied with it. If they are, you may proceed to Step 4 - final adjustments.
