Coordination:
Coordination requests from other standards developing bodies within PES have been
received on 12 documents. Of these, ICC has requested the following action:

Operated Subsurface and Vault Load Interrupting Switches for Alternating Current
Systems"
Assigned Liaison: Glen Luzzi
Coordination by Circulation of Drafts:
PC57.106 - "Acceptance and Maintenance of Insulating Oil in
Equipment"
Assigned Liaison: Gary Polhill
Expired PARs:
PARs for the following projects expired on October 31, 1997: P83, P851, P971,
P1235 and P1254. These projects will be administratively withdrawn at the
December 1997 Standards Board meeting.
Changes to the Ballot Process:
The following changes to the open ballot process were approved by the Technical Council
at the PES Summer 1997 meeting in Berlin, Germany:
Invitation to Ballot
The revised form contains language that requests the prospective balloter to
certify that he/she understands the subject matter and is technically competent to ballot
on the standard. Additionally, the balloter should also recognize that failure to return a
completed letter ballot will result in their name being removed from the invitation to
ballot list.
Letter Ballot
A statement has been added to the form to re-emphasize that failure to return a
completed ballot will cause their name to be removed from the invitation to ballot list
for future ballots.
The failure to return one ballot for which a request had been submitted will cause the
individual to be ineligible to receive future ballots, and will be advised that he/she has
been removed from the invitation to ballot list. In order to be considered for
reinstatement, the individual must submit a written request to the PES Standards
Coordinator, who maintains full discretion and authority towards participation in future
activities.
