Ballot Participation

ASA encourages stakeholders from across the globe to participate in the balloting process. However, in order to vote, organizational membership is required but commenting is as simple as requesting a copy of the draft and a comment form. Once you request a copy of the draft, however, we do expect you will return your comment form — and we also require that you do so before the close date. To participate in commenting on an open ballot, please reach out to us at standards@acousticalsociety.org. To learn about the benefits of becoming an organizational member, or to access our membership application, please visit: https://asastandards.org/#membership
