Balloting Process

Some decisions within QIBA are made by balloting (usually email).

The balloting process is managed by the secretariat (RSNA).

Ballots are emailed out to all members with voting privileges on the committee making the decision.

The length of the ballot period may be specified by the particular procedure that calls for a ballot, but is generally not less than 14 days to allow for members who are away on vacation, and is sometimes much longer if the decision involves reviewing lengthy documents, or collecting feedback within the members organization.

The secretariat (RSNA) maintains rosters for each committee indicating which members currently have voting privileges.
