Upcoming Ballots to ISO/TC276: Biotechnology

This table contains a summary of upcoming ballots.   TAG members are invited to (1) use the link in the third column, TC276 Ballots, to place your recommended votes in the appropriate ballot and/or (2) provide comments using the link in the fourth column, Link to Document, by the date indicated in bold.

PROCESS

Ballots Using ISO Online Standards Development (OSD)

  • TC276 Ballot column link navigates to a short survey form in which you may register your recommended vote and answer any necessary questions.
  • Link to document column link navigates to the document in the ISO Portal.  You will be able to make comments directly in the document.  On you click save on each comment, all US experts will be able to view your comment.

Note:  you may refer to this ISO help article for instructions for adding comments and proposals to a document within the OSD system.

Ballots Not using OSD

  • TC276 Ballot column link navigates to a short survey form in which you may register your recommended vote and upload any comments using the commenting template.
  • Ballot Files column link navigates to a shared document folder containing reference files for that particular ballot, typically including the draft, a blank comment template, and any other related documents.

Ballots are open to all U.S. TAG members, click here to learn how to get involved. If you have any questions, please contact Brian (brian.montgomery [at] nist.gov (brian[dot]montgomery[at]nist[dot]gov)) or Sheng (sheng.lin-gibson [at] nist.gov (sheng[dot]lin-gibson[at]nist[dot]gov)).
