From the Operating Procedures v3.0 (2018) NOTE: The LC can, by Super Majority vote of the LC, reduce the duration of,

or remove altogether, the IPR Review Period and/or the Public Review period in instances where there is low risk of patent, copyright and applicable IPR issues, and/or low risk of a reduction in quality of the output, and/or the changes are minor and (in the case of criteria, do not break implementations) non-material editorial changes to Group- Approved Recommendations or Technical Specifications. The decision must take into consideration the risk of liability being assumed by reduction or removal of the review period and the impact of changes on affected parties (e.g. Service Providers and Assessors). The decision and rationale shall be reported to the Board of Directors at the next Board of Directors meeting.

A notice describing the Public Review period reduction shall be included in

the remaining notice of Public Review and the subsequent All-Member Ballot, if these proceed. In the event that there is no Public Review, nor All-Member Ballot, a notice the describing the motion, and details of the Super Majority vote, for their removal shall be published in the voting record of the organization in the Wiki at this
