RE: [sv-cc] Re: [P1800] Questions on our activities during the ballot period.

Shalom,

I think you are correct that most entities will hold off until near the end
of the ballot period to submit their ballots.  They do not have to though,
if I understand this new electronic balloting process correctly.  I believe
a balloter can submit a ballot early in the process, and add additional
comments that support the ballot response anytime during the process.

Of course, we can always hope that everyone will just vote yes with no
comments :)
