What is the purpose of the Technical Committee ballots on the First Draft?

• A. To approve the Second Draft of the standard
• B. To finalize the standard
• C. To review and revise the First Draft of the standard
• D. To collect public comments on the First Draft

Answer: (C)

The ballots on the First Draft exist to have the Technical Committee review the draft for technical accuracy and clarity and to propose revisions. This process refines the draft into a revised version that moves to the next stage (the Second Draft). Public comments and final approval come later in the cycle, so the primary purpose here is to review and revise the First Draft to improve and correct the document before wider review.
