Re: [802SEC] +++ 30 day EC email ballot ++++ Proposed changes to 802 P&P
Approve.

PS: James, it took me awhile to understand this, and to understand that the complication is due to our revision rule being a little confusing for electronic ballots. As I understand, your email is serving two purposes:
(1) to satisfy the requirement that revisions "be submitted to the sponsor no less than 30 day in advance of... conclusion of an electronic ballot"
(2) to announce the opening of the email ballot
I now see that the rule is just saying, in an indirect way, that such electronic ballots have a 30 day minimum duration.

Amendments in response to comments on the P&P are permitted. Insufficient time to consider complex amendments is a valid reason to vote disapprove. A motion to revise the Sponsor P&P shall require a vote of approve by at least two thirds of all members of the Sponsor.
