Hi Stephen,<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what you mean by that. We are in the official discussion period of the ballot and this is the time for updates to be submitted and updates to take place, before the voting period begins. According to the Bylaws, this discussion period can be extended
until 21 days from the last submitted proposed guideline.<br>
<br>
The voting period only begins when you send an email to the list, after at least 7 days official discussion from the last proposed document, and clearly state that "voting begins" for this ballot. In other words, voting
<b>doesn't start automatically</b> because it's stated in the footer of the ballot.<br>
<br>
Dimitris.<br>
