Approving this ballot will result in a 60-day public review after which, if no comments are received, the CSs will be submitted to a membership-wide call for consent. If comments are received, the TC will be asked to vote by Special Majority Ballot on whether to continue to the membership vote. This is explained in TC Process section 3.4.2, Public Review of a Candidate OASIS Standard [4].  

This ballot requires a Special Majority Vote [5]. The TC roster currently lists 11 voting members. In order to pass, at least 8 (2/3 11) have to vote Yes and no more than 2 (1/4 x 11) members may vote No.
