The purpose of this ballot is for you to register your views about the work of Working Group 1. In particular, you are being asked whether the ninth draft of R7RS-small, Chibi Scheme, the sample implementation, and the test cases satisfy the requirements of the WG1 charter (excluding the section labeled "Timeline"). Please send your vote to the scheme-reports mailing list between Friday, April 19, 2013, and the deadline of Sunday, May 13, 2013, inclusive.

Please use the following form when you post your vote:

--------

Full name (required): Insert your name here.

Location (optional): Insert your physical location here.

Affiliation (optional): Insert your institutional affiliation, if any, here.

Contact details (optional): Insert any contact details here. The email address from which you post the ballot will be assumed to be a primary contact method, unless overridden here. You can use a temporary email account if you don't want your main email address revealed.

Statement of interest (not required if you registered for the R6RS ratification or the 2009 Steering Committee election): Insert at least 75 words of original content explaining your interest in Scheme and the Scheme standard and your stake in the outcome of the ratification process.

Vote (required): Insert "yes" or "no" here.

Rationale (optional): Insert your explanation of why you voted the way you did here. Anyone voting "no" is particularly encouraged to complete this section.
