MeetingInstructionV05

seev.004.001.05

Scope A party holding the right to vote sends the MeetingInstruction message to an intermediary, the issuer or its agent to request the receiving party to act upon one or several instructions. Usage The MeetingInstruction message is used to register for a shareholders meeting, request blocking or registration of securities. It is used to assign a proxy, to specify the names of meeting attendees and to relay vote instructions per resolution electronically. The MeetingInstruction message may only be sent for one security, though several safekeeping places may be specified. Once the message is sent, it cannot be modified. It must be cancelled by a MeetingInstructionCancellationRequest. Only after receipt of a confirmed cancelled status via the MeetingInstructionStatus message, a new MeetingInstruction message can be sent. This message definition is intended for use with the Business Application Header.

Message Construction

Every ISO20022 message has at the highest level what we call ‘building blocks’. Because the message is constructed as immutable records, the association is by composition. Below you can see the relationship between the message and its constituent building blocks: For comparison, see the ISO20022 official specification

Extensibility and generalization considerations

To facilitate generalized design patterns in the system, the MeetingInstructionV05 implementation follows a specific implementaiton pattern. First of all, MeetingInstructionV05 impleemnts IOuterRecord indicating it is the outermost logical part of the message definition. Like all message wrappers, MeetingInstructionV05Document implements IOuterDocument. Because MeetingInstructionV05 implements IOuterDocument, it is a suitable template parameter for IOuterDocument, and causes the internal ‘Message’ to be of type MeetingInstructionV05.

classDiagram
    class IOuterRecord
    MeetingInstructionV05 --|> IOuterRecord : Implements
    MeetingInstructionV05Document --|> IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV05~ : Implements
    class IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV05~ {
        MeetingInstructionV05 Message
     }
  

Document wrapper for serialization

The only real purpose MeetingInstructionV05Document serves is to cause the document to be serialized into the ‘urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:seev.004.001.05’ namespace. Therefore, it will probably be the usual practice to build the message and construct this wrapper at the last minute using MeetingInstructionV05.ToDocument() method. The returned MeetingInstructionV05Document value will serialize correctly according to ISO 20022 standards.
