4. Request - extend the 3.2b copy to include electronic voting; Maybe this could be considered for the next version of the default.
   • in 3.2b we felt the need to extend the CS copy to include electronic voting. Otherwise it seems to imply that binding decisions can't be made except at meetings. We assumed that that was not the intent.
     1. a) Binding decisions can be made only at meetings with the required advance notification where quorum is met, or in accordance with the electronic voting provisions stipulated in section 7;

9. Request: Section 8 Proxy Participation - revise to allow proxy participation but clarify the process.
   • Justification: When the DMP was introduced by PIC (under auspices of the HL7 Board) in 2004, HL7 had fewer Work Groups, less virtual meetings/calls between Working Group Meetings, and less global participation. The DMP assumption that a member could be present on every call or WGM session of interest to the member is not feasible in the current HL7 organization. Revise Section 8 to permit proxy participation and statement of position.

   • Committee Comments: Committee feels proxy voting should be offered only for closed committees
   • Status: Available for closed committees only
