A 15 day notice period is required to hold a DT meeting. Notice of each DT meeting shall be posted on the WECC website for a minimum of 15 days prior to the meeting.

Development Principles All participants eligible to vote in a Ballot Pool retain full opportunity and representation to vote on the final document. Nothing in these Development Principles shall infringe on an individual’s appellate rights under the Reliability Standards Development Procedures (Procedures). All DT members are encouraged to always be present; proxy voting by a DT member is not allowed.

Development Principles The Procedures do not require a quorum to be present before a DT vote is taken. The Procedures do not require notice that a DT vote will be taken. The Procedures do not require notice that a subset of the DT will meet. An affirmative majority vote of the entire DT is required to forward a document to the WSC with a recommendation for ballot. For all other actions, a simple majority vote of the DT members present is sufficient to carry a ballot.

Development Principles DT voting may take place face-to-face, electronically, in real-time, or within a scheduled window. Voting on which position to adopt on a drafting issue is reserved for the DT members. Voting on inclusion or exclusion of specific language in the document under development is reserved for the DT members.

Development Principles Voting on minutes and related business motions is reserved for the DT members. Straw Polls are of excellent advisory value; however, the DT is not obligated to abide by a straw poll.
