CLSI's Consensus Council

The Consensus Council serves as the consensus body for CLSI.

It approves projects confirming consensus for project development based on medical utility, clinical relevance, and CLSI’s mission, evaluates concerns regarding delays in project development and implements proposed intervention process as needed, and votes on Final Draft documents to confirm adherence to their respective development processes and approves documents and products for final production.

Consensus Council members review and evaluate materials submitted by peers, and make decisions in alignment with Board-directed goals and objective. Consensus Council members actively participate in Consensus Council activities, conference calls, and meeting.
