If there is interest to reaffirm/revise please contact Lowell Johnson

The reaffirmation ballot is essentially a yes/no vote on if the standards should be reaffirmed. It only takes one person to run the reaffirmation, but the ballot group mast have around 10 or more participants. Negatives must have objections and rationale, just as any other ballot. If the first ballot passes, the standard is given another 5 years. If it fails, the standard is withdrawn, unless a WG is formed and a PAR approved to revise.
