Scope The MeetingInstruction message is sent by a party holding the right to vote 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 vote, to require attendance to a meeting, to request registration of securities and assign a proxy. One instruction or multiple instructions can be carried within the same message. 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 (BAH).
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

Now, we will zero-in one-by-one on each of these building blocks.
Pagination building block
Page number of the message and continuation indicator to indicate that the multi-part instruction is to continue or that the message is the last page of the multi-part instruction. Number used to sequence pages when it is not possible for data to be conveyed in a single message and the data has to be split across several pages (messages).

MeetingInstructionIdentification building block
Unique identification of the group of meeting instruction messages when the instruction is split in multiple (paginated) messages. Specifies a character string with a maximum length of 35 characters. For comparison, see the ISO20022 official specification This message is declared as Max35Text in the ISO specification. In our implementation, it is represented in source code as IsoMax35Text. Due to global using directives, it is treated as a System.String by the compiler and runtime.

Extensibility and generalization considerations
To facilitate generalized design patterns in the system, the MeetingInstructionV09 implementation follows a specific implementaiton pattern. First of all, MeetingInstructionV09 impleemnts IOuterRecord indicating it is the outermost logical part of the message definition. Like all message wrappers, MeetingInstructionV09Document implements IOuterDocument. Because MeetingInstructionV09 implements IOuterDocument, it is a suitable template parameter for IOuterDocument, and causes the internal ‘Message’ to be of type MeetingInstructionV09.

class IOuterRecord
MeetingInstructionV09 --|> IOuterRecord : Implements
MeetingInstructionV09Document --|> IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV09~ : Implements
class IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV09~ {
MeetingInstructionV09 Message
}
Document wrapper for serialization
The only real purpose MeetingInstructionV09Document serves is to cause the document to be serialized into the ‘urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:seev.004.001.09’ namespace. Therefore, it will probably be the usual practice to build the message and construct this wrapper at the last minute using MeetingInstructionV09.ToDocument() method. The returned MeetingInstructionV09Document value will serialize correctly according to ISO 20022 standards.
