3.4 The voting period and voting rules are the same as for the normal DIS vote.
4. Approval criteria
4.1 If more than one quarter of all votes received is negative, the transformation into an International Standard is not approved and the approval process ends.
4.2 If the transformation of a Guide into a standard is approved, the International Standard will be published, and the original Guide withdrawn.
5. Maintenance of the International Standard resulting from a transformed guide
The ISO technical management board will decide on a case-by-case basis how to handle the maintenance of transformed Guide. Preference will be given to assigning the maintenance responsibility to an appropriate TC, but, in the absence of an appropriate TC, the TMB will decide where to assign maintenance responsibility, including through the establishment of a new TC or PC.
