Consequently, the relevant voting entry has been removed from the Members' Page of the OIML web site. Please find attached the synthesis of the votes cast. One Member State voted no; therefore, in application of the rules for online approval, this Draft Recommendation must now be submitted for CIML approval at the 44th CIML Meeting in Kenya. Consequently, the online voting results will henceforth be considered as the results of the preliminary CIML online ballot, as for any OIML Recommendation submitted for approval at a CIML Meeting. I would like to point out that despite the fact that there is one negative vote which prevented this Draft from being approved online: ********************************** 32 Member States did not vote. ********************************** Therefore, we once again wish to remind you that: 1 - It is one of your responsibilities as CIML Member to vote on draft publications submitted for CIML direct online approval or for CIML preliminary ballot. 2 - The importance of timely online voting in order to accelerate the OIML's technical work has been stressed at all recent CIML Meetings. Consequently, as the BIML Contact Person for OIML TC 16/SC 1, I have been requested to follow closely the response to this online approval (now considered as a preliminary online ballot) and to report in detail on it to the Presidential Council and to the 44th CIML Meeting. We count on your continued support to help the OIML improve and accelerate its approval procedures and look forward to your renewed participation.
