Guidance for documenting not persuasive or not related

Negative votes:

1. Address each point of the negative separately

(separate motions and vote counts shall be taken)

2. Document below a complete and thorough rationale responding to each point of the

negative vote found not persuasive or not related.

The Committee on Standards reviews not persuasive and not related actions to ensure the negative voter has been given due process and all of the procedural requirements of the Society’s Regulations have been satisfied.

Lack of clarity or failure to address each point of a negative by the subcommittee may delay approval of the item.
