Vote and Deadlines
Preliminary Evaluation of Quantitative Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures (EP10-A3); Molecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing (MM11-P)
CLSI submits the following for vote as candidate-for-advancement consensus documents. The documents and ballots are available to delegates and alternates of Active and Associate Active member organizations through CLSI Forums.
EP10-A3—Preliminary Evaluation of Quantitative Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline—Third Edition
This guideline provides experimental design and data analysis for preliminary evaluation
of the performance of a measurement procedure or device. The deadline for the completed ballot for EP10-A3 to be received at the CLSI offices is 31 July 2006.
MM11-P—Molecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing; Proposed Guideline
This guideline examines the biology behind molecular strain typing and the process of characterizing and validating typing systems. The prevalent methods are described with particular attention to pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The deadline for the completed ballot for MM11-P to be received at the CLSI offices is 28 August 2006.
Second Notice
H42-A2—Enumeration of Immunologically Defined Cell Populations by Flow Cytometry; Approved Guideline—Second Edition
This document provides guidance for the immunophenotypic analysis of non-neoplastic lymphocytes by immunofluorescence-based flow cytometry; sample and instrument quality control; and precautions for acquisition of data from lymphocytes. The deadline for the completed ballot for H42-A2 to be received at the CLSI offices is 13 June 2006.
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.
