The reason for this was the split vote that was received. Although currently the Approve votes are in the majority, there were some good comments provided with a negative vote that we think are worthy of consideration. In particular, it was pointed out: "The criteria for allowing a change in 5.1.2, A.2.3.1 and A.2.3.2 are far too weak and are likely to lead to "vanity" changes in the assigned codes which cause disruption and cost for users. There should be a presumption that a country name change (without boundary changes) will not lead to a code change unless there are exceptional circumstances that justify it." In order for us to get this and the other comments into the ballot results, we will need to send in a US vote of NO, and we do not have sufficient numbers at this time to do that. Each of you voted YES on the ballot and we are suggesting you consider changing your YES vote to a NO vote. You will need to do this before the end of the day (11:59 pm) on Friday, October 3, if you decide to make the change. The online ballot is located at: http://www.niso.org/apps/org/workgroup/tc46ballots/ballot.php?id=572 Thank you for your reconsideration of this ballot.

This revision corresponds to version 1.7 of the protocol. As noted in the Foreword to this revision, the SUSHI standard was created with the notion of "filters;" however, the only filter provided for was that of the date range for the report. With use, a number of cases have surfaced where additional filters and other report attributes would be beneficial. This revision of the SUSHI Standard extends the filter support to allow multiple optional filters and/or report attributes to be included in the SUSHI Request. This revision also updates the examples and figures provided throughout the document to reference updated versions of schemas and related files. Your voting options are: Yes - approve the revision; comments are optional but should only be editorial. No - do not approve the revision; comments are required and should be substantive in nature. Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 11/11 - we could discuss this at the meeting as well I have attached a copy of the revised SUSHI standard to this note - I have also attached a word document that shows the changes from the last (2013) version Looking forward to see some of you in Seattle mark -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
