Under our Administrative Procedures, a CLSI document approved by the area committee at the first level of the consensus process is submitted to delegates as a “candidate-for-advancement” consensus document. This begins the voting and approval period by the delegates.

As a delegate, your vote is to affirm (or reject) the document for advancement as a CLSI document. Please send your completed ballot to the CLSI offices by the above deadline.

In the consensus process, comments are invited at each publication stage. In each edition, the responsible committee includes a summary of comments on the prior edition and its responses to them. Any comments received on a candidate-for-advancement consensus document as a result of delegate voting and consensus review will be addressed by the committee during the document’s advancement.
