There was an error in the list of TAPPI Standards coming up for review in 2011 as announced in the December 2010 edition of STAR. T 520 "Curl of gummed flat paper" was listed for review, but it is a Classical Method published in 2007, so the review initiation date for this Standard will be 2016.
T 520 has been removed from the list (shown below), which also may be found on the Review Schedule page.
Nonmembers of TAPPI who wish to be part of the voting for any Standard should send a message to standards@tappi.org and request voting membership on the corresponding SSIG, prior to the target ballot date, if possible. Anyone who joins the SSIG before the target balloting date will receive a notice of the ballot. Nonmembers cannot access the drafts online, but they will be sent copies by email upon request after receiving the notice of ballot by email.
If you have joined the Standard Specific Interest Group for any Standard, you will receive a notice for ballot at the proper time with instructions for casting your vote and making your comments. If you wish to join the Standard Specific Interest Group for a particular Standard, please go to the Subject Categories for Standards page or contact the Standards Department at TAPPI (standards@tappi.org), or phone +1-770-209-7276 or fax +1-770-446-6947).
