Communication with Consensus Body members will be conducted by email.

I agree to receive electronic communication.

Consensus ballots will be used by PEARL for approval, revision, reaffirmation, or substantial changes to an existing or proposed standard. All members of the consensus body shall have the opportunity to vote within the thirty (30) calendar-day deadline. The ballot may be closed sooner if all consensus body members have responded. Upon request from any consensus body member giving a legitimate reason, a single fifteen (15) calendar-day extension to the ballot period may be granted.

I agree to respond within these deadlines.

Consensus Body members shall notify the Consensus Body Chair of any changes to their employment that will affect their membership in the Consensus Body such as changing employers or leaving the remanufacturing segment of the business. In these circumstances, the member will be removed from the Consensus Body. The company the member previously represented will be given an opportunity to provide an alternate representative. If an alternate representative cannot be identified, the PEARL Standards Committee will consider other applicants to fill the vacancy.

If the former member is still interested in participating in the Consensus Body under a new employer, they may submit a new application to PEARL's Standard Committee for consideration. The Consensus Body’s balance, as well as the applicant’s new qualifications, will be considered in review of the application.

I agree to the Change of Employment policy.
