	The approval for a specific proposal that is being voted on will require at least two-thirds (2/3) “Yes” votes of the total voting members in the SSC. (i.e. Since there are 12 initial voting members in the SSC, at least 8 “Yes” votes are required for approval of a proposal.) The voting process will end earlier of (a) 30 calendar days from the beginning of the voting period, or (b) all votes are cast and counted.

	To facilitate the proposal process, an optional email template will be created to cover all the parts of the candidate proposal.

Proposals submitted by a voting member should be agreed upon by all representatives of the voting member before submitting the proposal (e.g. all co-chairs of the proposing Focus Areas).
	It is expected the proposing member shall be able to explain the execution and resource plan when making a proposal, so that the voting members can clearly understand what the “ask” is and what they are committing to before casting a vote. If there are questions, any voting member may request clarification or an opportunity for discussion via conference call or email before voting period begins. If the “ask” is not clear, there is a good chance the proposal would be voted down by the members.

	The goal of the voting mechanism is to seek agreement on crucial issues that need “permission” or “blessing” from other voting members, and not to “tie the hands” of other voting members. Each voting member must be free to pursue their own activities on any topic, and the SSC should be very careful on voting on any matter of which primary goal would be to “force” or “block” other voting member(s)’ activities.

	NIST will retain the rights to the “GCTC” brand until NIST decides otherwise. It means there might be situations that NIST could not be able to support a proposal with “GCTC” brand even if the SSC votes for it. For example, if the SSC votes to get involved in activities that are completely against the GCTC’s philosophy, NIST may not be able to allow GCTC brand to be used for it. (e.g., If the SSC votes to get involved in a political/controversial activity, NIST will probably not allow GCTC brand to be used for that activity.) In such cases, the SSC is still free to approve and pursue the decision, but it should be done without GCTC brand. NIST does not expect to have many occasions to invoke such right of refusal to associate GCTC brand with the decision. However, NIST will still retain its rights to do so.
