General Announcements
New Standards balloting system coming soon TAPPI will soon have a new balloting system for Standards. An agreement with ASTM International to use its SpecBuilder platform has just been signed and the two organizations are working to make the new balloting system available to SSIG members soon. The expectation is that by the end of May the new system will be fully implemented. The TAPPI Standards Department will keep SSIG members up-to-date when the new system goes live and will provide all necessary support to assist all voters with the transition.
