Hi Bob and James,
Not sure if this helps, but I received the following email from the IEEE-SA Balloting Centre on 16th May 2015.
Best regards,

That all fine and well but it is not what MyProject says or allows. All I can say is, I consulted with the SA on the proper process and followed their recommendations to the letter. And people in the invite pool who had not joined previously saw it and joined so it did what it was supposed to do. I did not check to see if anyone chose to drop out. I am assuming not.
Regards
Bob

The invite opened on November 5, 2014 and closed on December 5, 2014, after that people were not able to join the pool.
The invite automatically closes unless you choose to extend it. It was not extended, hence it closed on December 5, 2014.

Per your suggestion in YVR. I reopened the invite that evening. Since
it turns out I never really closed the initial invite, the SA suggested
I simply reopen it for 5 days, which is what I did. That brings the pool
up to date. There were several additions. The official close date is now
May 19, 2015. I then took the new expanded pool and sent it Lisa and
Paul to judge the balance and if satisfied to approve the pool, which
they have done. The SA is happy and we are good to go.

Bob

The ballot pool for that Sponsor ballot will expire on June 6, 2015
(the original invitation ended on December 6, 2014).
Have you re-formed the ballot pool per the SASB OM 5.4.2?
"If a ballot does not open within 6 months of the invitation close
date, the ballot group will be considered invalid and the Sponsor
shall conduct a new invitation."
The minimum time for an invitation is 15 days.
