Out of respect for Yngve, Trend Micro votes yes on Ballot 93.

However, on future ballots if there are significant changes made by the sponsors after the start of the 7 day review/7 day voting period, we will automatically vote "no" unless the final revised proposals (hopefully in a "track changes" mode from the previous proposal) is posted and the 7 day review/7 day voting period is started again.

Some of us have duties beyond monitoring the daily changes on this list serv, and have travel requirements as well.  In my case, Hurricane Sandy affected my return form a trip, and I don't like being told I have only a couple of days to review a revised proposal.

Kirk,

Compared to the text that was originally posted, the only changes are to the new Appendix A (4) and an additional reference (original point E), replacement text below (aka redline), and clearing up that the rest of the changes take effect immediately (which was posted before the original voting period started). The rest of the ballot text is the same as before.

The fundamental problem this time, and with Ballot 92, is that the real "discussion period" started a week too late for both ballots.

In this ballot, the actual problematic part was very limited, specifically to the inclusion by reference of the entire NIST document. That could be resolved with the changes suggested below by Ben.

As the problem area was so, specific we decided to extend the ballot, allowing a couple of days discussion period past the 13 days already used, to update the text.
