When the Sponsor is ready to form the Ballot Group, the Sponsor will log onto myBallot and begin the invitation process through the SUBMIT INVITATION REQUEST function. When the submission is complete, the designated IEEE Staff Liaison will review and approve the invitation request. Once approved, the invitation period opens and the ballot group formation begins.

TECHNICAL ACTIVITY AREA:
A person can create a Technical Activity Profile by logging onto myProject (using an IEEE Web Account) and clicking MANAGE ACTIVITY PROFILE. A list of IEEE Societies can be expanded to Sponsoring Committees, then to Working Group Committees, and to Project Committees. Beside each committee is a selection box which may be checked or unchecked to indicate your interest.

INVITATION PROCESS:
An invitation is a process by which Sponsor Balloting Groups are formed. Through this process, an announcement (invitation) that the Ballot Group is being formed is sent to individuals who have enrolled in the specific Activity Area (through Manage Activity Profile) in myProject.

BALLOT GROUP ENROLLMENT:
Those who are interested in Ballot Group participation will need to log onto myBallot and enroll in the Ballot Group through the link, SHOW/JOIN OPEN BALLOT INVITATIONS, which displays all ballot groups that are currently "open." (Note: the "show all" box must be selected). Only individuals who are either IEEE-SA Members or who have paid a per-ballot fee will be able to access the Show/Join Open Ballot Invitations link. Those who sign up will constitute the Ballot Group.They will review, comment, and vote on the document (draft or standard) when the ballot period opens.
