Roster Role

As described in the Governance Document,

• Committee participation is open and voluntary, but participants must take part regularly in committee meetings and teleconferences and perform committee assignments.
• Cochairs are elected by the committee and retain the rights of voting members
• Secretary is assigned to the committee by the sponsoring organization/secretariat

• Membership in IHE is by organization (User, Developer and General Interest) who submit applications to the IHE Board
• Voting representatives (and alternates) are assigned by IHE Members to relevant domain and deployment committees
• If no voting or alternate representatives of an IHE Member are present for three consecutive meetings where a vote is taken, their status changes to Non-voting.
• Non-voting representatives return to voting/alternate status upon attending their second consecutive meeting

• Observers are welcome but do not vote or count toward quorum, and must be admitted by the co-chair. Due to their temporary status, they should not appear in the Roster.
