[Asis-standards] [NISO tc46ballots] Groups - Ballot reminder: "ISO 3297-2007-ISSN Revision"

[Marjorie Hlava]

I have voted Yes - but it is really a NO Vote.  My comments as follows 

This is a confusing vote.  Are we voting against the change or voting to put the ballot forward? oR does the vote not matter and this is just a vehicle to collect comments?

I don't think it a minor revision but a change in direction for the ISSN, perhaps implemented by country maintenance agency creating a patchwork of compliance and a danger to the long time worth of the standard.
