IMPORTANT NOTICE: Migration of the Standards Online Balloting System

TAPPI Standards Online Balloting System, Kavi, migrated on March 25, 2019 to TAPPI Connect. This means that the website that is now hosting the current balloting system (Workspace) is TAPPI Connect. Since then, SSIG members will get access to the balloting system with their TAPPI Connect login and password (this is the same login and password that you use to login to tappi.org). If you don’t have a TAPPI Connect account yet, you may set up one through this link: https://connect.tappi.org/register.

The migration was performed by HigherLogic, the company who now owns Kavi. Although the new Workspace looks very similar to Kavi, some SSIG rosters were not migrated correctly, which may have caused some SSIG members to experience issues when trying to log in to the Workspace through Connect. TAPPI has been working tirelessly with HigherLogic to have the rosters and other functionalities working properly. Some progress has been done, but final adjustments are still needed.

Until those issues are resolved, any ballots that were in progress on the migration day will continue to have their deadlines postponed. Also, no new ballots will be opened until the rosters are accurate. If you have already voted on any ballot, there is no need to vote again.

If you are experiencing any difficulties when trying to log in to TAPPI Connect or when trying to vote, please contact Kristin Whitman kwhitman@tappi.org. She is our web specialist in TAPPI Connect and will review your situation individually.

Once the balloting system is working properly, you will receive a new message from TAPPI informing you that a last extension of the deadline will be granted.

On behalf of TAPPI, I apologize for the inconvenience that this situation might have caused.

Thank you very much for dedicating your time and knowledge to review TAPPI Standards!

Best regards,

Priscila Briggs

Standards Manager
