Various types of matches have been discussed; however, there has been no actual proposal for "smarter" matches that can be used by the group. The attached proposal seek to fill that gap. It is more in the nature of an addendum to the initial proposal on non-exact matches. However, it does provide a more formal proposal on the types of non-exact matches to be considered. The intent is to provide a sufficient framework to discuss these types of non-exact matches and to add these non-exact matches to the proposal. I hope that this helpful to the work of the group.
