Governance Policy – 12th Revision – June 2013<br />
<strong>POLICY</strong> TYPE<br />
<strong>GOVERNANCE</strong> PROCESS<br />
1.9 Technical Report Development Process (Continued)<br />
1.9.7 Limited Scope Revision<br />
In order to expedite the revision process so that necessary technical changes in a<br />
document can be made efficiently, a limited scope revision may be performed upon<br />
Committee approval. A limited-scope revision will result in a new revision letter for the<br />
document. Limited scope revisions will be conducted in accordance with the process<br />
outlined in the TSB Governance Policy.<br />
1.9.7.1 Balloting<br />
Limited scope revisions require two levels of balloting (Committee and Council)<br />
using the 28-day ballot process outlined in Section 7 of the TSB Governance<br />
Policy and Procedures. In cases where the procurement process is impacted, a<br />
simultaneous (committee and Council) 14-day affirmation ballot process may be<br />
used with approval from the applicable Council and submittal of a business case.<br />
However, all votes and corresponding comments are confined to the proposed<br />
changes indicated on the ballot. For comments outside the scope of the proposed<br />
changes, the committee participant may request the committee to begin a full<br />
revision of the document.<br />
1.9.7.2 Conditions and Limitations<br />
The following are the conditions and limitations of the limited scope revision<br />
process:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Proposed changes must be of sufficient clarity to communicate directly in a<br />
"Change From Change To" fashion.<br />
The Sponsor must note in the document rationale that the current revision is<br />
limited in scope. The changes to the document must also be listed in the rationale.<br />
All references will be updated in limited scope revisions (does not apply to Limited<br />
Scope for Procurement Need).<br />
Committees will be limited to one limited scope revision per standard before a full<br />
technical revision is required.<br />
A limited scope revision will reset the five-year review clock.<br />
The applicable Council reserves the right to send the document back to the<br />
Committee for a Full Revision.<br />
The Council will consider the number of limited scope revisions as a measure of<br />
the technical committee’s quality of work.<br />
