• WG’s begin reconciling comments at the WGM, but reconciliation can take several weeks or months depending on the comments received during the ballot
• Potential Dispositions of comments include:
• In the case of Informative or DSTU ballots, a WG can submit a ballot package for publication even if there are outstanding comments; Normative ballots must consider and reconcile ALL comments 5
• Persuasive • Persuasive with Mod• Not Persuasive• Not Persuasive with Mod• Not Related• Referred and Tracked
