Request a Special Majority Vote to approve a Specification with Non-Material Changes

Use this form to assign Project Administration the task of holding a Special Majority Vote to approve a Specification Draft with Non-Material Changes as an OASIS Committee or Project Specification. Generally, this is only needed for Technical Committees because of their requirement to hold a public review whenever a draft is changed but it could also apply to a published Project Specification as well.

Please enter one request ticket for each Special Majority Vote you are requesting. Do not group multiple ballot requests together in one ticket.

Contact Project Administration with any questions.
