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

Extensibility and generalization considerations
To facilitate generalized design patterns in the system, the MeetingInstructionV08 implementation follows a specific implementaiton pattern. First of all, MeetingInstructionV08 impleemnts IOuterRecord indicating it is the outermost logical part of the message definition. Like all message wrappers, MeetingInstructionV08Document implements IOuterDocument. Because MeetingInstructionV08 implements IOuterDocument, it is a suitable template parameter for IOuterDocument, and causes the internal ‘Message’ to be of type MeetingInstructionV08.

MeetingInstructionV08 --|> IOuterRecord : Implements
MeetingInstructionV08Document --|> IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV08~ : Implements
class IOuterDocument~MeetingInstructionV08~ {
MeetingInstructionV08 Message
}
Document wrapper for serialization
The only real purpose MeetingInstructionV08Document serves is to cause the document to be serialized into the ‘urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:seev.004.001.08’ namespace. Therefore, it will probably be the usual practice to build the message and construct this wrapper at the last minute using MeetingInstructionV08.ToDocument() method. The returned MeetingInstructionV08Document value will serialize correctly according to ISO 20022 standards.
