&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you may be interested in Validating your voting rights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not declares as Present in case of vote in a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
# Once you have voted,  the Voted column in the Vote List is set to &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ===&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Weighted&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determine whether the result will be computed using the Organization voting weights. In case an ISG has deviated from the ETSI TWPs (e.g. non-weighted simple majority), the ETSI IT helpdesk might need to be contacted to tune the vote before it starts, as some combinations of options are not possible with the Create/Modify forms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot start and end a vote outside of the meeting dates and times.&lt;br /&gt;
*Note that the tool has a limitation and Daylight saving time not considered in the tool.  You must pay attention to the period during which the meeting happens when creating the vote During summer period, set the time zone to +1 hour time zone.  e.g. When meeting in Sophia-Antipolis, set the time zone to Athens GMT+2. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you may be interested in Validating your voting rights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not declares as Present in case of vote in a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
# Once you have voted,  the Voted column in the Vote List is set to &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ===&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Weighted&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determine whether the result will be computed using the Organization voting weights. In case an ISG has deviated from the ETSI TWPs (e.g. non-weighted simple majority), the ETSI IT helpdesk might need to be contacted to tune the vote before it starts, as some combinations of options are not possible with the Create/Modify forms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot start and end a vote outside of the meeting dates and times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the Accept button when ready. It display the Vote details&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vote details ===&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of the details you have entered will be displayed.  You can then click on Next to optionally send an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The possible actions on a pre-configured notification email are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu option provides links to all notifications which have not been deleted or sent.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Voting#Delete|Delete a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

*     A &#039;&#039;&#039;View meeting details button&#039;&#039;&#039; is now available on the &#039;&#039;&#039;Meetings list&#039;&#039;&#039; page, providing quick access to detailed meeting information.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;

* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you may be interested in Validating your voting rights&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not declares as Present in case of vote in a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
# Once you have voted,  the Voted column in the Vote List is set to &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ===&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot start and end a vote outside of the meeting dates and times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you may be interested in Validating your voting rights&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not declares as Present in case of vote in a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
# Once you have voted,  the Voted column in the Vote List is set to &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ===&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot start and end a vote outside of the meeting dates and times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you may be interested in Validating your voting rights&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not declares as Present in case of vote in a meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
# Once you have voted,  the Voted column in the Vote List is set to &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Validating your voting rights.===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ====&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
*You cannot start and end a vote outside of the meeting dates and times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Voting#Delete|Delete a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Viewing the Results ===&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deleting a vote===&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

===Validating your voting rights.===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ====&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting rules for TB and ISG, see https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the Accept button when ready.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vote details ===&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of the details you have entered will be displayed.  You can then click on Next to optionally send an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The possible actions on a pre-configured notification email are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu option provides links to all notifications which have not been deleted or sent.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Viewing the Results ===&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions, provided they are ETSI member. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The results can be displayed in three levels of detail. They are only visible after the Chair has asked the TB officer to make them visible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option can also be made available. &lt;br /&gt;
* The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deleting a vote===&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Validating your voting rights.===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ====&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting rules for TB and ISG, see https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the Accept button when ready.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vote details ===&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of the details you have entered will be displayed.  You can then click on Next to optionally send an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The possible actions on a pre-configured notification email are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu option provides links to all notifications which have not been deleted or sent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Voting#Delete|Delete a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Viewing the Results ===&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions. The results can be displayed in three levels of detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is available to all EOL account holders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option is also available to all EOL account holders. The percentages may also be shown for Full Members and Associate Members. This is available for all decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election, nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deleting a vote===&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting rights==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Validating your voting rights.===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List ====&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 1st Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&lt;br /&gt;
*Election 3rd Ballot&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft EN&lt;br /&gt;
*Vote on Draft TS, TR, ES, EG, GR or GS&lt;br /&gt;
*Selection of an option&lt;br /&gt;
*Ordinary decision&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g. draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;
*If the start date is configured in the past, the vote will start immediately after being created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_Second_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; next screen you will find the elements below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Document Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Document Location&#039;&#039;&#039; which may be used to provide a hyperlink to a copy of the draft for approval, the CVs of the candidates etc. It may be a word document, zipped file, HTML page other file type, or a folder. This field is optional and may remain blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Candidates ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an election or selection of a technology , the &#039;&#039;&#039;Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039; or options  must be specified. Enter each one, then use the &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; button to create another. The option to &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be added automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of an approval of a draft, the options &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;abstain&amp;quot; will be automatically created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For vote during a meeting, the list of all Full and Associate members voting weights applies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting rules for TB and ISG, see https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the Accept button when ready.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vote details ===&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of the details you have entered will be displayed.  You can then click on Next to optionally send an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The possible actions on a pre-configured notification email are: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete&lt;br /&gt;
*Update&lt;br /&gt;
* Send&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu option provides links to all notifications which have not been deleted or sent.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Viewing the Results ===&lt;br /&gt;
All account holders have access to the results of all decisions. The results can be displayed in three levels of detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is available to all EOL account holders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option is also available to all EOL account holders. The percentages may also be shown for Full Members and Associate Members. This is available for all decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election. nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deleting a vote===&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; from the menu. Select the vote to be deleted. Click on the &amp;quot;Delete&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure]  (in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Voting#Creating/Modifying|Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting#Voting|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Voting#Results|Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
# Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.) If you find you cannot vote it may be because:&lt;br /&gt;
## There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
## The organization you  [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/teldir/PersonalInfo.asp represent]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
## You are not [[Voting#Voting_rights|correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
# If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team &amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may change your vote until the close of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;&#039;Who may vote&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply. &lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardization Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies. However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous&lt;br /&gt;

==== &#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [https://portal.etsi.org/createaccount#/home username and password.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership/Exploder Lists] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 1&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that you have (been) registered to the list. The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.) If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Voting#Registering_to_a_Technical_Body_Membership_List|Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Step 2&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;: Check that your voting rights are correct. Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[mailto:Membership@etsi.org membership@etsi.org]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Create_Vote_First_Screen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Voting#Categories|Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 1st Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 3rd Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Near the bottom of this second screen is a link to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Membership list&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Group concerned. This is the list of people who have voting rights when it is a vote by Technical Body for a vote by correspondence. If a person is not in the list, or if the last column says &amp;quot;No voting rights&amp;quot; they will not be able to vote for a vote by correspondence. People representing Full and Associate Member Organizations may get voting rights via the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;[https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbmembershiplist/ TB Membership Lists]&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; application.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vote details ===&lt;br /&gt;
A summary of the details you have entered will be displayed.  You can then click on Next to optionally send an email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Send an email ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Templates for &#039;&#039;&#039;email&#039;&#039;&#039; notification to inform the group exploder list will be created in the application. You may access it by clicking on the NOTIFICATIONS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notification==&lt;br /&gt;
When a vote is created or closed, an email template is created. It is addressed to the exploder list for the Group concerned and provides the details including a link to the voting form or results page as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Notifications&amp;quot; menu item provides access to all notifications which have not been sent or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Closing ==&lt;br /&gt;
A vote may be manually closed before the end of the voting period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may be useful if a vote is to take place during a meeting. Delegates can be asked to vote before a certain time, say 12:00. The chairman can close the vote manually at that time and the results are immediately available. This would allow a second ballot in the afternoon if required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people with the rights to create and modify a vote also have the rights to close it. Choose &amp;quot;Close&amp;quot; from the menu bar and select the vote you wish to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once closed, a vote cannot be opened again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Results==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Viewing the Results ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The outcome&#039;&#039;&#039; (e.g. if a draft was accepted or rejected, if a person was elected) is available to all EOL account holders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The percentage&#039;&#039;&#039; of votes cast for each option is also available to all EOL account holders. The percentages may also be shown for Full Members and Associate Members. This is available for all decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made. This is only available for consensus gathering and voting on drafts. This is not available for ballots for election. nor for votes where the secret flag has been set (see Vote Creation)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results dissemination to the mailing list or during the meeting is manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Delete ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Deleting a vote===&lt;br /&gt;
This is intended for use, only when the vote has been created in error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people who may create a vote process for a Group may also delete them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once deleted, a vote cannot be restored. No results are available for a deleted vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Categories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 1st Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 3rd Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voting Period===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Categories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 1st Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 3rd Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Subject===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating/Modifying==&lt;br /&gt;
Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can vote&#039;&#039;&#039;? See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a vote, you provide the vote details in two consecutive screens. The first screen  displays the [[#Create_Vote_First_Screen|elements]] below. When satisfied with the details entered, click on the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Create&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; Button, and the [[#Create_Vote_Second_Screen|second screen]] will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body ===&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;body&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Technical Body&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Body can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Category===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;Categories&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 1st Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with more than 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Election 3rd Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Subject&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Voting Voting]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
a) Select &#039;&#039;&#039;IN PROGRESS&#039;&#039;&#039; from the menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Make your selection and click on the &amp;quot;Submit&amp;quot; button&lt;br /&gt;

If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Subject&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;

The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting in an Industry Specification Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

See https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/Menu.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
*Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
b) Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may modify the message providing any additional information required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may send it immediately or save it and send it later.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;

==Voting==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;How to Vote&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
b) Select the particular vote from the list. (Green indicates consensus gathering and Blue indicates votes.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt;https://portal.etsi.org/People/Commitee-Support-Staff&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

Officials (Chair and Vice Chair) and support staff are allowed to manage votes for their Groups: the &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Modify&amp;quot; options are visible to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Voting Voting]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who can vote?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardisation Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* If it is easily achievable, delete the cities from the drop-down menu (since the indication is incorrect during summertime)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Voting003.png|center|thumb|521x51px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If the change above is not easy,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  When the vote is during the meeting, modify text to &amp;quot;Select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt; - Select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/- xx:xx) and ignore the indication of cities as this indication is only valid in winter time&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  when vote by correspondence is selected, replace &amp;quot;select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Vote by correspondence always uses the GMT[SC1] time zone&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Note:  a supplementary request is included in annex A, going beyond minimum necessary changes but which would enhance user friendliness. ITC is requested to consider it for a potential future enhancement and provide an initial quote. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*for vote by correspondence, change the time zone to &amp;quot;GMT&amp;quot; (and not GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The TB/ISG email templates are outdated. If ITC can provide the file defining the rules to generate the email templates, SDC proposes to review them to be in line with Directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
note: SDC doesn&#039;t have access to all emails templates so it is difficult to comment and suggest changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.4 Bug correction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the user configures a vote and first selects a vote category which has the secret flag imposed as checked (ex: election 1st ballot) and then selects another category where the Secret flag can be manually set (ex: &amp;quot;Ordinary decision&amp;quot;) the secret flag remains ticked and cannot be manually toggled.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinary decision&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
*Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
*Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Description  or details&#039;&#039;&#039; can add additional information if required. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Before voting, a clear definition of the issues shall be provided by the chair&amp;quot; [ETSI TWP]&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Voting period&#039;&#039;&#039; must be defined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote by correspondence, the vote will be opened from 00:00:01 GMT on the starting date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will close at midnight GMT on the closing date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

Who can vote?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardisation Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*If the change above is not easy,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  When the vote is during the meeting, modify text to &amp;quot;Select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt; - Select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/- xx:xx) and ignore the indication of cities as this indication is only valid in winter time&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  when vote by correspondence is selected, replace &amp;quot;select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Vote by correspondence always uses the GMT[SC1] time zone&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Note:  a supplementary request is included in annex A, going beyond minimum necessary changes but which would enhance user friendliness. ITC is requested to consider it for a potential future enhancement and provide an initial quote. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*for vote by correspondence, change the time zone to &amp;quot;GMT&amp;quot; (and not GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;

1.4 Bug correction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the user configures a vote and first selects a vote category which has the secret flag imposed as checked (ex: election 1st ballot) and then selects another category where the Secret flag can be manually set (ex: &amp;quot;Ordinary decision&amp;quot;) the secret flag remains ticked and cannot be manually toggled.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the &amp;quot;Add me&amp;quot; button. The list owner will receive a message indicating that you wish to join the list.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who can vote?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardisation Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

o  When the vote is during the meeting, modify text to &amp;quot;Select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt; - Select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/- xx:xx) and ignore the indication of cities as this indication is only valid in winter time&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  when vote by correspondence is selected, replace &amp;quot;select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Vote by correspondence always uses the GMT[SC1] time zone&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note:  a supplementary request is included in annex A, going beyond minimum necessary changes but which would enhance user friendliness. ITC is requested to consider it for a potential future enhancement and provide an initial quote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* for vote by correspondence, change the time zone to &amp;quot;GMT&amp;quot; (and not GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The TB/ISG email templates are outdated. If ITC can provide the file defining the rules to generate the email templates, SDC proposes to review them to be in line with Directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
note: SDC doesn&#039;t have access to all emails templates so it is difficult to comment and suggest changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.4 Bug correction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the user configures a vote and first selects a vote category which has the secret flag imposed as checked (ex: election 1st ballot) and then selects another category where the Secret flag can be manually set (ex: &amp;quot;Ordinary decision&amp;quot;) the secret flag remains ticked and cannot be manually toggled.&lt;br /&gt;

2.1 https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/TBDecision3/Help/help.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the Technical Bodies with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting results|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The following predefined &#039;&#039;&#039;Categories&#039;&#039;&#039; of decision are supported by the application ([[Details of Categories]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Election 1st Ballot&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Election 2nd Ballot with 2 Candidates&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
* Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [https://help.etsi.org/index.php?title=Voting#Creating/Modifying Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who can vote?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardisation Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Period&#039;&#039;&#039;: for vote by correspondence delete the time zone printed on the right-hand side of the starting time and ending time (as shown on screen print below). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time zone&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If it is easily achievable, delete the cities from the drop-down menu (since the indication is incorrect during summertime)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Voting003.png|center|thumb|521x51px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If the change above is not easy,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  When the vote is during the meeting, modify text to &amp;quot;Select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt; - Select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/- xx:xx) and ignore the indication of cities as this indication is only valid in winter time&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  when vote by correspondence is selected, replace &amp;quot;select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Vote by correspondence always uses the GMT[SC1] time zone&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note:  a supplementary request is included in annex A, going beyond minimum necessary changes but which would enhance user friendliness. ITC is requested to consider it for a potential future enhancement and provide an initial quote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* for vote by correspondence, change the time zone to &amp;quot;GMT&amp;quot; (and not GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.3 https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/tbdecision3/SelectEmail.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TB/ISG email templates are outdated. If ITC can provide the file defining the rules to generate the email templates, SDC proposes to review them to be in line with Directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
note: SDC doesn&#039;t have access to all emails templates so it is difficult to comment and suggest changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.4 Bug correction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the user configures a vote and first selects a vote category which has the secret flag imposed as checked (ex: election 1st ballot) and then selects another category where the Secret flag can be manually set (ex: &amp;quot;Ordinary decision&amp;quot;) the secret flag remains ticked and cannot be manually toggled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.1 https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/TBDecision3/Help/help.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decision Support Application is designed to help the Technical Bodies with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting results|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Modifying&#039;&#039;&#039; a vote configuration is no longer possible after the first vote has been cast. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;Deletion&#039;&#039;&#039; is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the &#039;&#039;&#039;group&#039;&#039;&#039; available to you from the list proposed in the &amp;quot;Group&amp;quot; field. Note that after creation of the procedure, the Group can no longer be modified. However, deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
* Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For a vote during a meeting, select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/-xx:xx)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Officials and others who have rights to manage votes, may also close a vote manually at any time before the end date and time specified at the creation time.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The third level of detail is the &#039;&#039;&#039;individual votes&#039;&#039;&#039; cast &#039;&#039;&#039;and the comments&#039;&#039;&#039; made.

The Decision Support Application is designed to help the ETSI Groups with their decision making processes. It has predefined types of decisions for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* approving a draft,&lt;br /&gt;
* selecting an option,&lt;br /&gt;
* electing officials&lt;br /&gt;
* ordinary decisions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each type has been defined in accordance with the [https://portal.etsi.org/Resources/ETSI-Directives ETSI Rules of  Procedure] in terms of who can vote, calculation of results etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each decision will normally have 3 phases&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1 - [[Creating (also modifying, deleting or closing a vote]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2 - [[Voting results|Voting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 3 - [[Results]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Who can vote?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a Technical Body: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote during a meeting, clauses 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 of the Technical Working Procedures (TWP) apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For a vote by correspondence, clauses 1.5.5, 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.2 of the TWP apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an Industry Standardisation Group: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISGs basically follow the same rules as those laid down in TWP clause 1.7 for Technical Bodies However, rules for appointment of officials are those laid down in TWP clause 3.3. They are also authorized to deviate from the ETSI TWPs, as per clause 3.7, these potential deviations are specified in each ISG&#039;s respective Member Agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in its deviations an ISG may define its own vote calculation rules (non-weighted simple majority), or use presence to previous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Voting003.png|center|thumb|521x51px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If the change above is not easy,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  When the vote is during the meeting, modify text to &amp;quot;Select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;lt;ins&amp;gt; - Select the number of hours by which the meeting time zone is ahead of or behind GMT (GMT+/- xx:xx) and ignore the indication of cities as this indication is only valid in winter time&amp;lt;/ins&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
o  when vote by correspondence is selected, replace &amp;quot;select the time zone where the meeting takes place&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Vote by correspondence always uses the GMT[SC1] time zone&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note:  a supplementary request is included in annex A, going beyond minimum necessary changes but which would enhance user friendliness. ITC is requested to consider it for a potential future enhancement and provide an initial quote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* for vote by correspondence, change the time zone to &amp;quot;GMT&amp;quot; (and not GMT+1)&lt;br /&gt;

The TB/ISG email templates are outdated. If ITC can provide the file defining the rules to generate the email templates, SDC proposes to review them to be in line with Directives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
note: SDC doesn&#039;t have access to all emails templates so it is difficult to comment and suggest changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.4 Bug correction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the user configures a vote and first selects a vote category which has the secret flag imposed as checked (ex: election 1st ballot) and then selects another category where the Secret flag can be manually set (ex: &amp;quot;Ordinary decision&amp;quot;) the secret flag remains ticked and cannot be manually toggled.&lt;br /&gt;

Once the vote has been created, the Category may not be modified any longer, however deletion is still possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag determines whether the individual votes and comments will be visible or not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For several categories this choice is imposed by the application (following ETSI Directives). For others, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Secret&#039;&#039;&#039; flag may be toggled manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outcome (e.g.draft approved/not approved,) and the percentage of votes will always be available on closure of a decision process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Title&#039;&#039;&#039; must clearly identify the decision to be taken (e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
* Approval of DTS/CYBER-0014 (TS 103 486) final draft v0.05 for publication&lt;br /&gt;
* Election of a vice chair-Chairman for ISG NFV Working Group IFA&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;How to check your rights&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You first need a [[username and password.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For voting by correspondence in a Technical Body, open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1 check that you have (been) registered to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right side of the screen shows the email exploders lists to which you are registered. Technical Body Membership lists are highlighted. (&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;You may also subscribe to a list for email only. In this case the exploder list will not be shown on the screen and you will not have voting rights&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#039;t see the list, follow the instructions for [[Registering to a Technical Body List]] below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2 Check that your voting rights are correct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the name of the membership list. Search for your name or email address (Use the Browser &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;find&amp;quot;  functions). The last column shows your voting rights. If you have &amp;quot;No Voting Rights&amp;quot; check that your Organization and the Organization status is correct. If the organization is not correct or if you think the status is not correct, then email the membership cell at &#039;&#039;&#039;[[membership@etsi.org]]&#039;&#039;&#039; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[For voting in an Industry Specificcation Group, specific rules may apply according to the ISG agreement. To know your voting rights, contact the person supporting the ISG.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Registering&#039;&#039;&#039; to a Technical Body Membership List&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the [[TB Membership/Exploder Lists]] application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the Technical Body from the list on the left side of the page and click to view its email exploder lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tick the list indicated as the Membership list and specify the email address(es) you would like this list to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you find you can&#039;t vote it may be because:.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) There are currently no open votes in which you are allowed to participate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) The organization you  [[represent]]  does not have voting rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) You are not [[correctly registered]] in the Membership List of the appropriate Group in case of vote by correspondence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) If you represent more than one organization, you will be able to select the appropriate organization from the list at the top of the screen. You will only be able to vote on behalf of ONE of these Organizations. If you represent more than one organization, but do not have the option to select the organization, or if the list is not complete, please contact the Technical Body Support Team&lt;br /&gt;

If someone else from your organization has already voted, you will see who has voted and if the vote is not secret, you can also see how they voted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may, in exceptional circumstances, change the vote of another representative of your organization. However, it is strongly recommended that you contact the person first. If you change the vote of another person that person will be informed by email of your action.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
The e-Approval application provides a streamlined process for submitting votes, comments and title translations on ETSI deliverables.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, you can use the application to upload the deliverables, view related comments, and access voting results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 1: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Access the document for which you have an action to take: =&lt;br /&gt;
If you receive an email with a direct link to the document or approval process, this step can be skipped. Otherwise, please follow the instructions below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several methods to locate the document(s) requiring your action, or to simply view the results of the documents that interest you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The very first thing, you have to make sure that you are logged into the ETSI Portal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Picture11.png|center|thumb|763x763px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To access the e-Approval application from [[the ETSI Portal]], navigate to the toolbar and select &#039;Manage.&#039; Then, hover over &#039;Approve&#039; (without clicking) and finally, click on &#039;E-Approval&#039; (as shown in picture 1):&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the e-Approval applet (see picture 2), you can make multiple selections to help find what you&#039;re looking for. However, please note that completing all of the selections is not required to achieve this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you know the approval procedure, you can select it, then choose whether the action is &#039;Open&#039; (in progress) or &#039;Closed.&#039; This is the most common approach.[[File:Picture99.jpg|center|thumb|398x398px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Picture 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a procedure is &#039;&#039;&#039;OPEN&#039;&#039;&#039;, it is possible to submit comments, cast votes, and provide title translations if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE:    A [https://webapp.etsi.org/deliverables/ dynamic table] is available to quickly view all currently open approval procedures at a glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CLOSED&#039;&#039;&#039; procedures enable you to review the results and comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may also need to search by &#039;&#039;&#039;TECHNICAL BODY&#039;&#039;&#039;. Click on the arrow to display an automatic list of available options. Additionally, use the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;DELIVERABLES TYPES&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; dropdown menu to select the specific type of deliverable you are seeking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval003.jpg|center|thumb|373x373px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know the ETSI document number, you can enter it directly in the &amp;quot;Deliverable Number&amp;quot; field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have filled in the desired fields, you can choose to display the results in either a &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SUMMARIZED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; or a &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;DETAILED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SUMMARIZED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; provides a concise overview, highlighting the action number, the date of opening and closing, the ETSI Deliverable number, version number and date of &#039;&#039;publication&#039;&#039; and if it is an Harmonized Standard. This view allows you to vote on multiple items at once, provided you do not submit comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EXAMPLE:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval004.png|center|thumb|649x649px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Detailed View&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; provides extensive information about the ETSI deliverable but does not support voting on multiple items simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EXAMPLE:[[File:E-Approval005.png|center|thumb|615x615px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One final feature to note is &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Quick Access&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. If you are responsible for voting and need to access all documents for which you have not yet submitted comments and cast a vote, you can use the &amp;quot;Quick Access&amp;quot; feature.&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 2: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to vote and submit comments: =&lt;br /&gt;
To begin, it is essential to ensure that you are recognized as an OFFICIAL or VOTING Contact in the ETSI Directory Service. This recognition is crucial for accessing certain services and participating in voting processes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      ETSI European Standard (EN) sent on ENAP Approval Procedure (AP), ENAP Vote approval, Withdrawal Vote (WV).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      SRdAP Work Item Adoption (WA), Work Item Change (WC) and Work Item Stopping (WS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      SRdAP ENs, TSs, TRs, SRs, ESs, and EGs sent on SRdAP Enquiry + Vote (EV), SRdAP Vote Approval (VA), SRdAP Vote Withdrawal (VW).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OFFICIAL Contact is the person designated to be the main contact person in the organization. There is only one OFFICIAL Contact, ensuring that all the contact details within the organization are correctly registered in the ETSI Directory Services application. Contact details can be consulted via the [https://portal.etsi.org/LoginRedirection.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fwebapp%2fTelDir%2fTelDirectory.asp Directory Services] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Details about the roles of &#039;&#039;&#039;NSO/NSB OFFICIAL Contact&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;VOTING&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Contact&#039;&#039;&#039; can be found in the [https://ocgwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=NSOs_Guide#The_NSO/NSB_Official_Contact ETSI NSO guide].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact of an ETSI Member organization holds the authority to make any necessary decisions related to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ETSI Guides (EGs) and/or European Standards     (ESs) that are undergoing the Member Vote Approval Procedure (MV) and/or     Member Withdrawal Procedure (MW) through the designated tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Member VOTING contact has the right to cast votes and/or submit comments for one or several ETSI Member organization(s).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By default, the &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact also serves as the &amp;quot;VOTING&amp;quot; Contact. However, it is required that another individual from the same organization/company be designated as the &amp;quot;VOTING&amp;quot; Contact to support or, if necessary, replace the &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After selecting the document for which you need to vote and/or submit comments (see Step 1), click on &#039;CAST&#039; to obtain the following environment where you will be able to vote and submit comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval6.png|center|thumb|602x602px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
you will have a message indicating that your &#039;position was successfully RECORDED for &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;action number XXX and ETSI deliverable XXX&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 3: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to update votes or comments. =&lt;br /&gt;
Simply click on &amp;quot;Update Vote&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 4: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to submit a title translation. =&lt;br /&gt;
If your organization is based in one of these countries, you will need to submit a title translation when casting your vote on all new ETSI Deliverables or when an existing ETSI Deliverable is revised and its title changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an ETSI European Standard under a Standardisation Request (SReq) is sent for Public Enquiry, it will be labeled as &amp;quot;Harmonised Standard&amp;quot; beneath the ETSI number. At this stage, a warning message will appear to remind NSOs responsible for providing title translations to submit them now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Warning!&#039;&#039;&#039; If you are unable to submit the title translation at this stage, please remember that it will be required during the voting stage and is mandatory for casting your vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval007.png|center|thumb|527x527px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to update the title available on the e-Approval, please contact ETSI Webvote-contact (webvote-contact@etsi.org).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 5: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Being informed on ETSI deliverables&#039; production activity. =&lt;br /&gt;
As OFFICIAL or VOTING contact you are automatically added to specific mailing lists.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;ETSI new &amp;lt;procedure&amp;gt;(e.g.  MV) &amp;lt;action number&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;(sent once a week, the day after the start of the approval procedure)&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ETSI notification of new procedure informs all official and voting  contacts about deliverables which are sent on a new procedure (MV, MW).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ETSI closure notification &amp;lt;procedure&amp;gt; (e.g. MV) &amp;lt;action  number&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;(sent once a week, one week before the end of the procedure)&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ETSI advanced notification of closure is sent to all official and voting  contacts to inform them about deliverables whose procedure (MV, MW) will be  closed on Friday of the following week.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Details on NSBG and NSOG mailing lists can be found in the [https://ocgwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=NSOs_Guide#ANNEX_III ETSI NSO guide].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Once you have filled in the desired fields, you can choose to display the results in either a &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SUMMARIZED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; or a &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;DETAILED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SUMMARIZED VIEW&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; provides a concise overview, highlighting the action number, the date of opening and closing, the ETSI Deliverable number, version number and date of &#039;&#039;publication&#039;&#039; and if it is an Harmonized Standard. This view allows you to vote on multiple items at once, provided you do not submit comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EXAMPLE:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval004.png|center|thumb|649x649px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Detailed View&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; provides extensive information about the ETSI deliverable but does not support voting on multiple items simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EXAMPLE:[[File:E-Approval005.png|center|thumb|615x615px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One final feature to note is &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Quick Access&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. If you are responsible for voting and need to access all documents for which you have not yet submitted comments and cast a vote, you can use the &amp;quot;Quick Access&amp;quot; feature.&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 2: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to vote and submit comments: =&lt;br /&gt;
To begin, it is essential to ensure that you are recognized as an OFFICIAL or VOTING Contact in the ETSI Directory Service. This recognition is crucial for accessing certain services and participating in voting processes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      ETSI European Standard (EN) sent on ENAP Approval Procedure (AP), ENAP Vote approval, Withdrawal Vote (WV).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      SRdAP Work Item Adoption (WA), Work Item Change (WC) and Work Item Stopping (WS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
·      SRdAP ENs, TSs, TRs, SRs, ESs, and EGs sent on SRdAP Enquiry + Vote (EV), SRdAP Vote Approval (VA), SRdAP Vote Withdrawal (VW).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OFFICIAL Contact is the person designated to be the main contact person in the organization. There is only one OFFICIAL Contact, ensuring that all the contact details within the organization are correctly registered in the ETSI Directory Services application. Contact details can be consulted via the [https://portal.etsi.org/LoginRedirection.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fwebapp%2fTelDir%2fTelDirectory.asp Directory Services] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Details about the roles of &#039;&#039;&#039;NSO/NSB OFFICIAL Contact&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;VOTING&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Contact&#039;&#039;&#039; can be found in the [https://ocgwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=NSOs_Guide#The_NSO/NSB_Official_Contact ETSI NSO guide].The &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact of a member organization holds the authority to make any necessary decisions related to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ETSI Guides (EGs) and/or European Standards     (ESs) that are undergoing the Member Vote Approval Procedure (MV) and/or     Member Withdrawal Procedure (MW) through the designated tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Member VOTING contact has the right to cast votes and/or submit comments for one or several ETSI Member organization(s).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By default, the &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact also serves as the &amp;quot;VOTING&amp;quot; Contact. However, it is required that another individual from the same organization/company be designated as the &amp;quot;VOTING&amp;quot; Contact to support or, if necessary, replace the &amp;quot;OFFICIAL&amp;quot; Contact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After selecting the document for which you need to vote and/or submit comments (see Step 1), click on &#039;CAST&#039; to obtain the following environment where you will be able to vote and submit comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval6.png|center|thumb|602x602px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
you will have a message indicating that your &#039;position was successfully RECORDED for &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;action number XXX and ETSI deliverable XXX&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 3: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to update votes or comments. =&lt;br /&gt;
Simply click on &amp;quot;Update Vote&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 4: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= How to submit a title translation. =&lt;br /&gt;
If your organization is based in one of these countries, you will need to submit a title translation when casting your vote on all new ETSI Deliverables or when an existing ETSI Deliverable is revised and its title changes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an ETSI European Standard under a Standardisatin Request (SReq) is sent for Public Enquiry, it will be labeled as &amp;quot;Harmonised Standard&amp;quot; beneath the ETSI number. At this stage, a warning message will appear to remind NSOs responsible for providing title translations to submit them now:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Warning!&#039;&#039;&#039; If you are unable to submit the title translation at this stage, please remember that it will be required during the voting stage and is mandatory for casting your vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:E-Approval007.png|center|thumb|527x527px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to update the title available on the e-Approval, please contact ETSI Webvote-contact (webvote-contact@etsi.org).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 5: =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Being informed on ETSI deliverables&#039; production activity. =&lt;br /&gt;
As OFFICIAL or VOTING contact you are automatically added to specific mailing lists.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;ETSI new &amp;lt;procedure&amp;gt;(e.g.  MV) &amp;lt;action number&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;(sent once a week, the day after the start of the approval procedure)&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ETSI notification of new procedure informs all official and voting  contacts about deliverables which are sent on a new procedure (MV, MW).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ETSI closure notification &amp;lt;procedure&amp;gt; (e.g. MV) &amp;lt;action  number&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;(sent once a week, one week before the end of the procedure)&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ETSI advanced notification of closure is sent to all official and voting  contacts to inform them about deliverables whose procedure (MV, MW) will be  closed on Friday of the following week.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Details on NSBG and NSOG mailing lists can be found in the [https://ocgwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=NSOs_Guide#ANNEX_III ETSI NSO guide].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;

* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;

                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;

* Navigation enhancements&lt;br /&gt;
Upon login, the user is not redirected to the portal home page anymore but stays on current page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* State Machine modifications&lt;br /&gt;
It is now possible to withdraw a Revised contribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Remote Consensus notifications&lt;br /&gt;
In notifications, hyperlinks were added to point to contribution details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;29 February 2012 NGPP 1.4 Build 2: New features added to the contribution application&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Late contribution threshold&lt;br /&gt;
This feature allows to flag as &amp;quot;Late&amp;quot; any contribution reserved or uploaded after a defined Late Threshold Date.&lt;br /&gt;
This information only exists for contribution allocated to a meeting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Block Reservation&lt;br /&gt;
Contribution &amp;quot;Block Reservation&amp;quot; is a functionality that allows to pre-reserve a range of contributions for a targeted meeting by re-using and copying the general fields/information (title, source, …) of existing contributions from previous meetings. &lt;br /&gt;
This will typically be used when TB meetings have a recurring pattern for their first n contributions (invitation, agenda, IPR call, Status of WPM, WG reports, etc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* VIP Mode&lt;br /&gt;
Only active TB support staff and active Officials of the concerned TB have Write access to the Contribution objects of a community for which the &amp;quot;VIP mode&amp;quot; has been enabled, other users have Read access only i.e. Board and General Assembly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions assigned to a meeting and postponed to another meeting will keep its UID origin 	&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Depagne: changes after GA Proxy 1.9.1 release&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
= Giving a proxy to a person registered to an ETSI General Assembly =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being an official contact of an organization, you can give a proxy to a person who will attend the meeting.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the GA meeting in the meeting calendar for which you wish to give a proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click &#039;&#039;&#039;More Options&#039;&#039;&#039; on  [[File:More.JPG|frameless|26x26px]] button, and Select “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC1.jpg|frameless|400x400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will then see this page showing your given and/or received proxies, if any (see picture below). The first time you click on “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”, the list of given proxies is empty. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; this page contains also a list of received proxies, in case you attend the meeting and have been given proxies. Ignore this list when you are a proxy giver.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To give a proxy, select (in the left text box) the organization for which you want to give a proxy. After, type the proxy receiver person&#039;s name (or name of his/her company) in the text box shown on the right; and select the person you want. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed list of persons contains only the list of persons who are registered to the meeting and who have not already been given a maximum number of proxies. Please note that you can only provide one proxy for each company that you represent, in case this company is not part of a group. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your company is a member of a group, only one proxy can be given by the whole group. It is useless to give a proxy if somebody can represent the group during the GA. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that you can give a proxy to yourself, in case you are the Official Contact of several companies. You just need to select for which company you give a proxy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2.JPG|frameless|546x546px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click “&#039;&#039;&#039;Add proxy&#039;&#039;&#039;”. It opens a new window that gives you the instructions. You are able to choose between an electronically-signed (e-signed) proxy, or a traditional (manually-signed) one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For creating a proxy and signing it electronically, click on the &#039;&#039;&#039;“Yes”&#039;&#039;&#039; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you prefer to download, print, and sign (manually) your proxy form, then click on the &#039;&#039;&#039;“No (sign form manually)”&#039;&#039;&#039; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Signing a proxy manually ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2a.JPG|frameless|562x562px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC3.JPG|frameless|385x385px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download the form to your computer and click “&#039;&#039;&#039;Create Form&#039;&#039;&#039;”. You will be redirected to the previous window and see that the proxy has been recorded and is in &#039;&#039;&#039;“Pending Upload”&#039;&#039;&#039; state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC4.jpg|frameless|573x573px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Print, sign and scan the downloaded proxy form, then upload it using the “&#039;&#039;&#039;Upload&#039;&#039;&#039;” icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will receive a confirmation e-mail. At this stage, your proxy has been submitted but not yet validated by ETSI Secretariat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Signing a proxy electronically (e-sign) ===&lt;br /&gt;
When you click &#039;&#039;&#039;“Yes”&#039;&#039;&#039;, after the &#039;&#039;&#039;“Add proxy”&#039;&#039;&#039; window pops up, an e-signature request will be sent to your e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2b.JPG|frameless|576x576px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will also be shown a success message (at the top of your page), with a link that redirects you to the e-sign interface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2c.JPG|frameless|735x735px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before receiving your electronic signature successfully, your proxy is kept in &#039;&#039;&#039;“Waiting For Signature”&#039;&#039;&#039; state. Once you have signed it, its state changes to “&#039;&#039;&#039;Submitted”&#039;&#039;&#039; and you will receive a confirmation e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Proxy submission ===&lt;br /&gt;
After signing your proxy, either electronically or manually, your proxy’s state is set to &#039;&#039;&#039;“Submitted”.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When ETSI Secretariat has validated the proxy, you will receive an e-mail and your proxy will appear in “&#039;&#039;&#039;Validated&#039;&#039;&#039;” state. This is the last and most important state that a proxy can have. It means that the Proxy Receiver will be able to vote on your behalf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Withdrawing a proxy =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may decide to withdraw a proxy at any time, till the end of the meeting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the page of given proxies using “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the concerned proxy and click on the “&#039;&#039;&#039;Withdraw&#039;&#039;&#039;” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC5.jpg|frameless|427x427px]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proxy receiver and you will receive a confirmation e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Viewing received proxies for an ETSI General Assembly =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When someone gives you a proxy, you receive a mail. You can also see the list of received proxies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the GA meeting in the meeting calendar for which you have received a proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on More Options, on the [[File:More.JPG|frameless|26x26px]] button, and select “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The “received proxies” part shows the list of received proxies.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;

* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039;14 April 2012 - NGPP 1.4 Build 3: Access Control &amp;amp; State Machine enhancements&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Simplification of Access Rights&lt;br /&gt;
Any user can now EDIT, UPLOAD or REVISE a contribution even if he&#039;s not its main contact. In such a case, a notification e-mail is sent to the main contact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Navigation enhancements&lt;br /&gt;
Upon login, the user is not redirected to the portal home page anymore but stays on current page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* State Machine modifications&lt;br /&gt;
It is now possible to withdraw a Revised contribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Remote Consensus notifications&lt;br /&gt;
In notifications, hyperlinks were added to point to contribution details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;29 February 2012 NGPP 1.4 Build 2: New features added to the contribution application&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Late contribution threshold&lt;br /&gt;
This feature allows to flag as &amp;quot;Late&amp;quot; any contribution reserved or uploaded after a defined Late Threshold Date.&lt;br /&gt;
This information only exists for contribution allocated to a meeting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Block Reservation&lt;br /&gt;
Contribution &amp;quot;Block Reservation&amp;quot; is a functionality that allows to pre-reserve a range of contributions for a targeted meeting by re-using and copying the general fields/information (title, source, …) of existing contributions from previous meetings. &lt;br /&gt;
This will typically be used when TB meetings have a recurring pattern for their first n contributions (invitation, agenda, IPR call, Status of WPM, WG reports, etc).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* VIP Mode&lt;br /&gt;
Only active TB support staff and active Officials of the concerned TB have Write access to the Contribution objects of a community for which the &amp;quot;VIP mode&amp;quot; has been enabled, other users have Read access only i.e. Board and General Assembly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==  &#039;&#039;&#039;30 November 2011 - NGPP 1.4 Build 1: Additional enhancements to the Contribution application&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions assigned to a meeting and postponed to another meeting will keep its UID origin 	&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
= Giving a proxy to a person registered to an ETSI General Assembly =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being an official contact of an organization, you can give a proxy to a person who will attend the meeting.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the GA meeting in the meeting calendar for which you wish to give a proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click &#039;&#039;&#039;More Options&#039;&#039;&#039; on  [[File:More.JPG|frameless|26x26px]] button, and Select “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC1.jpg|frameless|400x400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will then see this page showing your given and/or received proxies, if any (see picture below). The first time you click on “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”, the list of given proxies is empty. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; this page contains also a list of received proxies, in case you attend the meeting and have been given proxies. Ignore this list when you are a proxy giver.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To give a proxy, select (in the left text box) the organization for which you want to give a proxy. After, type the proxy receiver person&#039;s name (or name of his/her company) in the text box shown on the right; and select the person you want. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed list of persons contains only the list of persons who are registered to the meeting and who have not already been given a maximum number of proxies. Please note that you can only provide one proxy for each company that you represent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that you can give a proxy to yourself, in case you are the Official Contact of several companies. You just need to select for which company you give a proxy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2.JPG|frameless|546x546px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click “&#039;&#039;&#039;Add proxy&#039;&#039;&#039;”. It opens a new window that gives you the instructions. You are able to choose between an electronically-signed (e-signed) proxy, or a traditional (manually-signed) one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For creating a proxy and signing it electronically, click on the &#039;&#039;&#039;“Yes”&#039;&#039;&#039; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you prefer to download, print, and sign (manually) your proxy form, then click on the &#039;&#039;&#039;“No (sign form manually)”&#039;&#039;&#039; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Signing a proxy manually ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2a.JPG|frameless|562x562px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC3.JPG|frameless|385x385px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Download the form to your computer and click “&#039;&#039;&#039;Create Form&#039;&#039;&#039;”. You will be redirected to the previous window and see that the proxy has been recorded and is in &#039;&#039;&#039;“Pending Upload”&#039;&#039;&#039; state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC4.jpg|frameless|573x573px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Print, sign and scan the downloaded proxy form, then upload it using the “&#039;&#039;&#039;Upload&#039;&#039;&#039;” icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will receive a confirmation e-mail. At this stage, your proxy has been submitted but not yet validated by ETSI Secretariat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Signing a proxy electronically (e-sign) ===&lt;br /&gt;
When you click &#039;&#039;&#039;“Yes”&#039;&#039;&#039;, after the &#039;&#039;&#039;“Add proxy”&#039;&#039;&#039; window pops up, an e-signature request will be sent to your e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2b.JPG|frameless|576x576px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will also be shown a success message (at the top of your page), with a link that redirects you to the e-sign interface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC2c.JPG|frameless|735x735px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before receiving your electronic signature successfully, your proxy is kept in &#039;&#039;&#039;“Waiting For Signature”&#039;&#039;&#039; state. Once you have signed it, its state changes to “&#039;&#039;&#039;Submitted”&#039;&#039;&#039; and you will receive a confirmation e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Proxy submission ===&lt;br /&gt;
After signing your proxy, either electronically or manually, your proxy’s state is set to &#039;&#039;&#039;“Submitted”.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When ETSI Secretariat has validated the proxy, you will receive an e-mail and your proxy will appear in “&#039;&#039;&#039;Validated&#039;&#039;&#039;” state. This is the last and most important state that a proxy can have. It means that the Proxy Receiver will be able to vote on your behalf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Withdrawing a proxy =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may decide to withdraw a proxy at any time, till the end of the meeting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the page of given proxies using “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the concerned proxy and click on the “&#039;&#039;&#039;Withdraw&#039;&#039;&#039;” button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PIC5.jpg|frameless|427x427px]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proxy receiver and you will receive a confirmation e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Viewing received proxies for an ETSI General Assembly =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When someone gives you a proxy, you receive a mail. You can also see the list of received proxies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select the GA meeting in the meeting calendar for which you have received a proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on More Options, on the [[File:More.JPG|frameless|26x26px]] button, and select “&#039;&#039;&#039;Manage Proxies&#039;&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;

* Block Reservation&lt;br /&gt;
Contribution &amp;quot;Block Reservation&amp;quot; is a functionality that allows to pre-reserve a range of contributions for a targeted meeting by re-using and copying the general fields/information (title, source, …) of existing contributions from previous meetings. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

* Evolution of the Contribution numbering scheme&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from 2012 contributions and for contributions created in 2011 and attached to a 2012 meeting the new numbering scheme will be as the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
                                                TBName(YY)XXXZZZ --&amp;gt; &amp;lt;CommunityId&amp;gt;(YY)&amp;lt;MeetingID&amp;gt;&amp;lt;contribSeqNb&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting ID: optional can be defined to reflect the Meeting reference. Otherwise for the Comittees who wish to keep the yearly contributions numbering scheme, THEN the &#039;&#039;XXX&#039;&#039; will be set to &#039;&#039;000&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ContribSeqNb: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID defined THEN starts at 1 until last contribution linked to this meeting is reserved and/or &amp;lt;ReservationEndDate&amp;gt; is reached&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IF Meeting ID not defined THEN the contribution numbering system takes over and allocates an automatic yearly numbering scheme &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Contributions can be assigned to several meetings&lt;br /&gt;
