 TAPPI Standards Online Balloting System Update

The migration of the Standards Online Balloting System from Kavi to TAPPI Connect created many undesirable issues in the new Workspace, including some SSIG members losing the ability to connect to the Workspace where the ballots were held. All ballots in progress on the migration day had their deadlines extended out to December to prevent the automatic reminders being sent out every few weeks.

TAPPI has been focused on resolving these issues and is currently testing a new Workspace that we hope will be available soon so we can resume the balloting process. Once the system is functional again, all SSIG members will receive a message informing them about the new workspace, how to log in and vote. Open ballots will be rescheduled so that all members will have a chance to review the Standard for 45 days.

TAPPI is very excited with the possibility of communicating good news in the near future!
