be non-persuasive.
The Task Group met numerous times from April to June to continue to address and resolving negative comments from the April 2, ballot. On June 10th, the revised standard was submitted to ballot, closing on July 10, 2021. The attention of the Task Group members now turns to any negatives submitted.
