The lifecycle states are as follows:

Lifecycle State Description
development agile development by project group, no formal change management, visibility of documentation and experimental software. By the end of development, an open source reference implementation must be available
trial during this period, the specification is managed in a formal way. Issues are reported on an online tracker; changes are recorded on a separate dedicated tracker, ensuring every change to the specification is recorded
stable specifications that have been tested in software and are in use in the community.
