Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Default fourteen day ballots

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, Wayne,
I think it just got worse...  :-)  Now it is saying that the
default and minimum review period is 14 days *unless* you have a
Working Group derivative of the process.  I have to go back to my
initial assertion -- what was wrong with the original wording of the 7
day minimum (other than the week vs 7 days thing)?  I don't want to
make the EFSP more restrictive.  Let the derivatives make it more
restrictive (like the JESP), not the other way around.

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?

Wayne
