What is a typical voting process?

A typical voting process is defined below:

1. A Call for Votes is posted, including the mechanism for casting ballots and time period during which ballots are accepted
2. At the end of the voting period, ballots are tabulated and reviewed by the Chair or the Technical Editor
3. Results of voting are posted, including a summary of the vote and the votes cast by each organization.

This process is illustrated below. A typical voting cycle should be completed within a three-week period. Some voting periods may be longer due to holidays or other events.

The three-week voting period is typical as stated above, but an iTC can choose to do it quicker if necessary.
