Sponsor Ballot Draft Editing

• The Sponsor balloting procedure is specified by
  IEEE SA.
• All 802 WGs use a WG balloting process to improve
  the quality of drafts before beginning a sponsor
  ballot.
• The composition of the WG ballot group and the
  Sponsor ballot group can be substantially
  different.
• WG ballot groups are composed of WG voting
  members
• Sponsor ballot groups are composed of SA members
  who may not be members of 802 WGs and may join SA
  to participate in a specific ballot
• The tasks of the Sponsor Ballot comment
  resolution committee are assigned to the WG or a
  designated subset
• The comment resolution committee is authorized
  to
• Prepare proposed comment resolutions
• Revise and update the Draft
• Begin a sponsor ballot recirculation
• The goal is to complete all of the ballot
  conditions, including at least 75 approval with
  appropriate comment resolution, before requesting
  the 802 EC that the draft should be allowed by
  the EC to be submitted to RevCom for procedural
  review and subsequently to the Standards Board
  for approval to publish.
