So, why participate in the ballot?
Your ballot is the most powerful voice in HL7 Every comment addressed
Every negative reconciled: use of “non-persuasive” very rare
This is the process that shapes national standards
Voting affirmative Fast and easy to do
Shows support for the effort
Voting negative Takes time
Adds tremendous value
