About Ballots

View current document ballots open for public comment and submit comments on items currently being balloted to members supporting each of the FGIA Councils.

Members: If your company supports the group being balloted, the voting representative should have already received an email ballot notification. If your company does not support the group being balloted, you may review the drafts pertinent to your company interests, and submit your comments using the given links.

Non-Members: we welcome comments from all who are materially affected by the standard being balloted. Comments from non-members will be considered by the task group, but will not be included in the vote results. If you would like to have a greater influence on the issues being balloted, you are encouraged to become a member.

All comments received by the due date listed with each ballot will be submitted to the corresponding task group for consideration.
