4.3.3 Documents for Action (Two-Week Rule)

Documents should be distributed at least two weeks prior to the meeting. Recommendations that come from the Standards Development Board to the Executive Board and vice-versa are exempted from the two-week rule.

Any documents sent later may be considered, but final action may only be taken in the absence of objection by any voting member present or by suspension of this rule by vote of the Executive Board; otherwise, they must be acted upon by letter ballot or deferred until the next meeting.

Documents may be revised during the meeting and still be considered to have met the two-week rule if the original document met this requirement. Note that this provision is intended to provide a means for discussing the document and advancing the progress of the work, and is not intended to permit the introduction of new or orthogonal material.

Project Proposals not posted to the Draft agenda two weeks prior to the meeting must be acted upon by letter ballot or deferred until the next meeting.

INCITS-V1: Comment on suspension of the 2-week rule for documents





During last week’s meeting, a suggestion was made that we (V1) could agree to suspend the 2-week rule. I just checked the INCITS rules (see below) and found that such suspension can only be made by the INCITS Executive Board.
