1 National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA Phone: Fax: TO: FROM: Technical Committee on Air Conditioning Allan Fraser, Staff Liaison DATE: November 21, 2013 SUBJECT: NFPA 90A Second Draft TC Final Ballot Results (A2014) According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot. 29 Members Eligible to Vote 6 Ballots Not Returned (R. Amawi, L. Caraway, M. Dillon, T. Dusza, E. Howard and F. Wang) 22 Members Voted Affirmative (1 with comment on one or more Second Revisions A. Hurst) 0 Negatives 1 Member Abstained on one or more Second Revisions (A. Hurst) The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each second revision. There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 /3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 /3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
