> your receiving Invitations to participate in future Sponsor Ballots.

> Recirculation Ballots (an additional ballot of a document you have
> previously voted on). You only need to respond to a Recirculation Ballot
> if you wish to change your initial vote. If you do not respond to a
> Recirculation Ballot, your last recorded vote will be carried forward.
>
