Important Announcement Regarding HL7 Ballot Pool Sign Up Date Changes

Below is an important announcement regarding HL7 Ballot Pool sign up dates. Due to changes made in response to the recent ANSI audit, HL7 now needs to close ballot pool sign up prior to the opening of balloting.  This could impact your ability to vote on selected ballots, so be sure to sign up early this time, and get into the habit.

Important Announcement Regarding Ballot Pool Sign Up Date Changes

We want to make you aware of an important change to the ballot signup period for HL7 standards balloting. A recent ANSI audit has prompted a significant change in our ballot pool signup procedure. This change was required to address shortcomings in the way HL7 addresses balance of interest in our pools.

In the past, ballot pool signup for any pool remained open until a week before that pool was scheduled to close; however, starting with the upcoming January 2014 ballot, the ballot pool signup period for any pool will close when that pool opens for voting. This means that for this cycle, with pools scheduled to open on Friday, December 13, 2013, ballot pool signup will close at end-of-day Thursday, December 12, 2013.
