9104/1 BallotRMC Report Long Beach, California 14 Sept 2011 Mike Roberts – Team Leader
Confusing Ballot Results • 2011 Re-ballot of 9104/1 • Clearly and cleanly passed in the Americas • Comments sent by Asia-Pacific, but no ballot results – not in compliance with IAQG 106 • It appears that there were three ballots taken in Europe. • Germany voted Disapprove in one ballot • Rolls Royce voted both Disapprove and Approve in a second ballot • Unclear of CEN ballot results • 48 pages of comments provided by Gunter Lessmann – IAQG Standards Manager
Current Situation • 9104/1 team has been working on the rewrite of this standard for 4 1/2 years • Most comments came from persons/entities not involved on the rewrite team or OPMT. • We cannot keep re-discussing issues that have been previously accepted/adopted. • We cannot accept technical changes to the ballot draft without causing another ballot, which will probably delay another year. • We can accept non-technical improvements or typo corrections, within reason.
IAQG 106 Requirements • The resolution of comments is the responsibility of the: • IDR • The 3 SDRs • The writing team leader • Comments must be reviewed, but there is no requirement for acceptance • Sectors have different ballot accept/reject criteria. • Nothing presented to Gunter Lessmann indicates a ballot failure in any Sector • Re-balloting required for technical changes.
The Plan • Comments will be separated by document chapters, and addressed by the chapter book-boss teams. • All comments will be separated into Categories • We will use the Comments (.doc) template provided by Gunter Lessmann as the official response sheet. • The 9104/1 team leader will maintain the official draft of the document and comment sheets. • We will try to comply with the IAQG 106 30-day review cycle.
Schedule • Re-verify book boss assignments. Completed • Validated 5 categories for disposition. Completed • Book bosses will have 14 calendar days to address, categorize, and recommend disposition for all comments in their respective chapter(s). (Sept 27th 2011) • Book bosses will route their dispositions to all 9104/1 team members, who will provide immediate comments. • 9104/1 Team Lead to consolidate chapter comment dispositions into single draft document and comments template. (Oct 7th 2011) • Team Lead will route final paperwork to book bosses and 9104/1 team for final review (Oct 17th 2011), before sending to SDRs (Oct 20th 2011), and then to Gunter Lessmann (Oct 26th 2011 at IAQG Meeting). • Possibility of publishing by end of 2011.
Team Lead Comments • It is time to complete this project. This project will have taken 5 years if we are successful now. • Not everyone will be happy. • We can’t keep re-hashing previously approved or dispositioned topics. • Significant technical changes will postponed until the next revision of the standard. • Failure to publish by the end of the year will significantly impact the ICOP process, and will damage any credibility that we still may have with our customer base.
