Welcome to the TCC online balloting system that allows members to join a ballot voting list.

Dear Members:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are contacting members of STGs 35, 05, and 30 regarding their desire to vote on an upcoming ballot of TG 360’s proposed revision to NACE SP0169-2007 (formerly RP0169), “Control of External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Please review the abstract by going to http://web.nace.org/ where you will view the NACE login page. You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. Once you have done so and are logged in, click on the tab in the upper right-hand corner titled “Committees.” Then, click on “Online Balloting” (on the right-hand column on this page). The next page you will see offers you Action Items, Results and a Logout option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: The next page you will see is TCC Balloting Home.

To join a voting list, click on the Action Items button. This will take you to a listing of open Ballots, Reballots, Review and Comments, and voting lists.

Under the heading “Join Ballot Voting Lists,” find the appropriate TG number and click “Respond.”

STEP 3: To review the abstract prior to responding, click on the document title link at the top of the page.

The abstract is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, which means you will need Acrobat Reader software on your computer. If you do not have it, you may download it FREE from the Adobe Web site,

STEP 4: After reviewing the abstract, you may join the voting list or decline to join by clicking the “Back” button at the top left corner of the screen and choosing “yes” or “no” on the TCC Ballot Response page. Please remember to indicate your classification.

NOTE: The interest classifications have recently been expanded. Previously, there were only three interest classifications (user, producer, general interest), but there are now seven (user/consumer, manufacturer/producer, general interest, contractor, consultant, government/military, and research, development, and testing). Please consider these classifications carefully.

Be sure to click on the SUBMIT RESPONSE button at the bottom of the page to submit your response.

After you have submitted your response, the TCC Response Confirmation page will appear stating that your response has been recorded. In addition, you will receive an e-mail confirmation of your response.
