SSIG members needed for T 465

T 465 sp-10 "Static creasing of paper for water vapor transmission tests" was first balloted for its five-year review on November 25, 2014.

The first draft balloted resulted in dropping delinquent voting members which led to an imbalance of interest groups on the SSIG. After recruiting new members, Draft 2 was balloted, but that ballot did not receive the minimum percent return of over 50%.

So a Draft 3 was balloted. After tabulating that ballot, more members were dropped due to missing three ballots in a row. This leaves the SSIG with only 9 members – one short of the 10 required. So the Draft 3 ballot was invalid.

So we must have at least one new member on the SSIG in order to attempt a fourth ballot. If you are not already a member of the T 465 SSIG, please consider joining. Please send a message to standards@tappi.org  by July 15, 2015. After that date, assuming we have the minimum 10 that we need, another ballot will be attempted.
