I tweaked the wording.
Specifically, I removed "No ballot period may be shorter than seven (7) days." sentence and added what I think is a clarification to the final sentence (which I believe is just restating the now-removed sentence).
A ballot is used to seek Specification Committee approval. Unless otherwise stated in this process (or a Working Group-specific derivative of this process), the default period for all Specification Committee ballots is fourteen (14) days. During that time, any member of a Specification Committee may request that the period be extended to thirty (30) days. A Specification Committee may opt (via a Working Group-specific derivative of this process or exception) to change the length of a ballot period, but may not--under any circumstances--reduce any review period to fewer than seven (7) days.
I think that this makes the intention clearer: unless otherwise specified, ballots are fourteen days long; and when otherwise specified, that ballot cannot be fewer than seven days long.
Does this work?
