The process is basically as follows: 1. The SC Secretariat issues the ballot to the SC and notifies the JTC 1 Secretariat. 2. The JTC 1 Secretariat issues notification to the JTC 1 members via the JTC 1 reflector that the ballot is out and invites JTC 1 member comments. 3. If a JTC 1 member submits a substantive objection during the SC ballot, the SC ballot continues to conclusion. 4. If the SC ballot is successful and there is a substantive JTC 1 member objection, the results of the SC ballot, along with the JTC 1 member objection, is issued to JTC 1 for a 60 day default ballot (or considered at a JTC 1 plenary meeting) to confirm JTC 1's agreement to add the item to the PoW. 5. Minor JTC 1 member comments (editorial) submitted during the SC ballot will be forwarded to the SC Secretariat for consideration by the SC. Again, for the NP to be approved by the SC, it must be supported by a majority of all P-members of the SC and five P-members of the SC must commit to active participation.
