Relevan text from IEEE Op. Man. If a change to “do not approve” is based solely on comments concerning previously approved portions of the balloted document, the balloter shall be informed that the comments are not based on the changed portion of the balloted document and, therefore, those comments may not be addressed in the current ballot and may be considered for a future revision of the standard. If the balloter does not agree to change the negative ballot, the ballot shall be recorded as an unresolved negative without comment. Further resolution efforts, including additional recirculation ballots, shall be required if negative votes with new comments within the scope of the recirculation result. Once all required re-circulations have been completed and 75% approval has been achieved, the IEEE requirements for consensus have been met. Efforts to resolve negative votes may continue for a brief period; however, should such resolution not be possible in a timely manner, the Sponsor should forward the submittal to RevCom because the IEEE has an obligation to the majority to review and publish the standard quickly.

LMSC Rules 3.1.2.2 Electronic Balloting At times, it may become necessary for the Sponsor to render a decision that cannot be made prior to the close of one plenary but must be made prior to the opening of the following plenary. Such decisions may be made using electronic balloting. Provision shall be made for the LMSC membership to observe and comment on Sponsor electronic ballots. All comments from those who are not members of the Sponsor shall be considered. Commenters who are not members of the Sponsor are urged to seek a voting member of the Sponsor (normally their WG or TAG Chair) to include the viewpoint of the commenter in their vote. The LMSC Chair, or a Sponsor member designated by the Chair (usually a Vice Chair), shall determine the duration of the ballot, issue the ballot by e-mail and tally the votes after the ballot is closed. Sponsor voting members shall return their vote and comments by e-mail. The minimum duration of an electronic ballot shall be 10 days. For urgent matters once sufficient response is received to clearly decide a matter, the Ballot may be closed early. This allows a decision to be reach in less than 10 days. Ballots where the possibility of an early close exists must be clearly marked accordingly. Otherwise, the tally of votes shall not be made until at least 24 hours after the close of the ballot to allow time for delivery of the e-mail votes. The affirmative vote of a majority of all members of the Sponsor with voting rights is required for an electronic ballot to pass except when specified otherwise by the LMSC P&P or this OM.
