Positive vote. Once the Board has declared a DDEX Standard, it instructs the Secretariat to publish the Standard on the Company website along with all supporting Sample Messages and to notify the Members that this has been done. Minor editorial changes to a Standard are permissible at this point before the publication of the Standard as envisage in this Section D.4.
3.1. If the Board has declared a Candidate Standard, Members shall be notified that the Standard will not become a DDEX Standard until such time as testing of the Candidate Standard shows that it is robust enough to become a DDEX Standard and therefore shall not be made available on the public section of the Company website. However, where there is need for a wider consultation, beyond the Members, on the viability and robustness of a Candidate Standard, the Board may decide at its discretion to publish the Candidate Standard on the public section of the Company website with a notice encouraging non-Member implementers to carry out tests of the Candidate Standard to determine its viability and robustness.
