When an ISO Consultation or ballot opens, the link to access the Online Document is automatically accessible via the NPOS ballot. When the NPOS ballot opens, the national experts are notified and can access the online document to provide their comments via the NPOS ballot. At the closure of the NPSO ballot, the National Secretary can pause the commenting so national experts no longer provide comments. The last step for National Secretary is to consolidate the comments by accepting or rejecting the comments. Accepted comments will become visible to the ISO Committee Manager once the ISO consultation/ballot closes.
Warning - ISOlutions members using NEB which do not want to use the National Online Commenting (option A)

2. Remove the Online Document link and add the pdf version in the reference document section

ISO committee mapping with National committee
In the below example, the NSB has 3 NMCS related to the ISO/TC 34/SC 8 committee. When a CD consultation opens for ISO/TC 34/SC 8, the National Committee Members / Observers of NSB/TC 1, NSB/TC 2 and NSB/TC 3 will be able to provide comments online in the document. The National Secretaries of the 3 NMCs will then need to coordinate to consolidate the national comments and submit all relevant comments to ISO.
National experts provide comments directly in the online document.
Once the NPOS ballot opens, national experts will be able to provide their comments directly in the online document. Permissions to access the Online CD/DIS or FDIS draft are driven by the role of users in the National Mirror Committees (NMCs) related to the ISO committee launching the CD consultation or DIS/FDIS ballot.
Default permissions for NMCs members
The below table summarizes the default permissions in OSD for the NMCs members
