IMPORTANT BALLOTING NEWS! (August 2004)

A new electronic sponsor balloting system called myBallot is coming soon. Bookmark this page and return often for updates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Introducing "myBallot" -- The Better Way to Ballot! --
Get ready for a new and improved balloting system in 2005! Called "myBallot," you will, for the first time, be able to customize your balloting experience all with a few clicks of the mouse! This means that:

If you are a Balloter:
. . .and you want to join open balloting groups, you can easily do so at your convenience by logging on to the myBallot website; and,
. . .if you are in a balloting group and wish to submit your vote and/or submit comments while the ballot is still open, you can do so as often as you like up to the closing date; and,
. . If, during a ballot recirculation, you want to review responses from the ballot sponsor to your comments, you can view those responses online.

If you are a Sponsor:
. . .you can start your own invitation and ballot at your convenience, including choosing your own opening and closing dates; and,
. . You will be able to see how many invitations are being sent, and to whom; and,
. . You can delegate balloting work to a Ballot Designee who can do everything from start the invitation to extending the ballot; and,
. . You can extend the ballot if the response rate has not been met or can choose to fail the ballot and start anew; and,
. . You can gather RevCom documents pertaining to balloting directly from the system.

And there's more!
. . .Help pages will be available to assist you through every aspect of balloting.
. . .Links to Standards Development Online will be found right inside the myBallot system.
. . .Links to e-mail IEEE-SA Staff will just be a click away.
======================================================

Prepare for myBallot NOW! (July 2004)

The new myBallot system represents a paradigm shift in your balloting experience:
. . .rather than waiting to be invited to join balloting groups, you will be furnished with the opportunity to sign up yourself.
. . Rather than waiting for Balloting Center Staff your change your email, you will have a mechanism to change it yourself.
. . Rather than waiting for ballot summaries, you can find results of closed ballots at any time inside the myBallot system.

Prepare NOW for the unique opportunity to direct, manage and control your own Standards Sponsor balloting experience through the introduction of myBallot -- the better way to ballot.
