AOAC Stakeholder Panel Voting Members AOAC INTERNATIONAL (AOAC) assembles stakeholder panels to develop voluntary consensus standards. While AOAC maintains transparency and openness in accordance with national and international guidance and regulations for standards development and its policies and procedures for assembling stakeholder panels, its policies and procedures also ensures that there is a balance of perspectives in reaching consensus.

All stakeholder panels are diverse and can vary in size. Where a stakeholder panel is not balanced or if it is significantly large whereby consensus of the general assembly may be impractical, a balanced representative voting panel will be used to demonstrate consensus. AOAC encourages stakeholder panel participants to participate during stakeholder panel sessions. Any stakeholder can put forward a motion for consideration by the entire stakeholder panel. To ensure that there is a balance of perspectives, a representative subset of the stakeholder panel, the voting members, reach consensus on the voluntary consensus standards. Composition Voting members represent the perspectives of the larger stakeholder panel. The voting members consist of no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the total number of stakeholders in attendance. Primary and secondary representative voting members are approved. Every attempt is made to approve a panel of voting members that represents all perspectives of the stakeholder panel. In the event of a primary voting member is not able to attend, and no alternate has been approved, the stakeholder panel chair, working with AOAC can provisionally approve an alternate from those in attendance to assure balance and lack of dominance. For stakeholder panels with scopes including diverse topics, the voting member representatives may be rotated to include other stakeholders for successive

meetings to ensure a lack of dominance for any particular stakeholder. Approval Process AOAC may work with the chair of the stakeholder panel and potentially other key stakeholders to develop a proposed representative voting member panel. Following AOAC policies and procedures, the proposed voting members and documentation are submitted to the AOAC Official Methods Board (OMB) for review and approval. The OMB’s review ensures that the proposed panel is balanced in perspectives representing the stakeholder panel and a lack of dominance. Roles and Responsibilities Every stakeholder has a voice and every stakeholder is entitled to state his/her or organizational perspective(s). Consensus is demonstrated by 2/3 majority vote (67%) in favor of any motion. It is important to note: Individual voting members do not have any additional weight, voice or status in stakeholder deliberations than other stakeholders. The role of the voting members is to demonstrate the consensus of the stakeholder panel. Stakeholder panel chair will moderate voting process. AOAC carefully documents the vote. It is important for voting members to be in the room during the time for voting. It is also important for voting members to inform the chair of his/her inability to serve as a voting member.
