-The Task Execution Service (TES) operates under a community-driven development model, where advancements to the specification occur exclusively through community contributions.

 ## Voting Procedure
 
-Voting group include stakeholders, such as server and client implementors.
+Proposed changes and releases are voted on by Driver Project champions and other key stakeholders, such as product implementers (client- and sever-side). Product Leads review proposed changes on a regular product-specific call, then solicit community feedback during regular Cloud Work Stream calls and through the [product-specific](mailto:ga4gh-cloud-tes+subscribe@ga4gh.org) mailing list for a specified time period. Proposed releases are further shared through official GA4GH channels (Slack board and mailing list with wider scope) and with a longer feedback period. Product Leads, in close connection with the Cloud Work Stream leadership, will always strive to reach broad consensus, but may accept simple majority decisions if broad consensus cannot be reached.
