[8023-POEP] ballot opening



Colleagues:

 

You should have received the announcement of the ballot for our draft.  In that e-mail instructions were given on where to get the draft and how to respond.  

 

First – please let me state that it is essential that all who can return comments using the comment tool.  Text comments are allowed but infinitely more difficult to process.  Do everyone a favor and use the comment tool if at all possible

 

Second – do not wait until the end of the ballot time to review the document and return your comments.  Doing this means you will likely not respond.  Many people fail to get their comments done at the last minute and invariably ask if they can turn them in late.  If you miss the date the answer will effectively be no – we won’t accept them late.  When you ask, I will undoubtedly wander into some politically correct dissertation about providing “our best effort” to look at your comments but, no, we never really have time for it, it never really happens and our best effort always boils down to we ignore them.  

 

Waiting to the bitter end also means that you will place a large burden on the editors to process your comments - Chad and Matt are usually such jovial people please don’t intentionally tick them off.  Get them done early.

 

Cheers

 

Mike
