 staff play a key role in proxy voting, individual investment teams are responsible for determining decisions on proxy votes with consultation from the GST. The GST administers and implements the Policy, as well as monitoring services provided by the proxy advisory firms, third-party proxy engagements and other research providers used in the proxy voting process. As noted above, certain ETFs will follow Calvert’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures, which is administered by Calvert’s Proxy Voting and Engagement Department and overseen by Calvert’s Proxy Voting and Engagement Committee. The GST periodically monitors Calvert’s proxy voting with respect to securities held by the ETFs. The GST Director is responsible for identifying issues that require Committee deliberation or ratification. The GST, working with advice of investment teams and the Committee, is responsible for voting on routine items and on matters that can be addressed in line with these Policy guidelines. The GST has responsibility for voting case-by-case where guidelines and precedent provide adequate guidance. The Committee may periodically review and has the authority to amend, as necessary, the Policy and establish and direct voting positions consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. GST and members of the Committee may take into account Research Providers' recommendations and research as well as any other relevant information they may request or receive, including portfolio manager and/or analyst comments and research, as applicable. Generally, proxies related to securities held in client accounts that are managed pursuant to quantitative, index or index-like strategies ("Index Strategies") will be voted in the same manner as those held in actively managed accounts, unless economic interests or investment guidelines of the accounts differ. Because accounts managed using Index Strategies are passively managed accounts, research from portfolio managers and/or analysts related to securities held in these accounts may not be available. If the affected securities are held only in accounts that are managed pursuant to Index Strategies, and the proxy relates to a matter that is not described in this Policy, the GST will consider all available information from the Research Providers, and to the extent that the holdings are significant, from the portfolio managers and/or analysts. A. Committee Procedures The Committee meets at least quarterly, and reviews and considers changes to the Policy at least annually. The Committee will review developing issues and approve upcoming votes, as appropriate, for matters as requested by GST. The Committee reserves the right to review voting decisions at any time and to make voting decisions as necessary to ensure the independence and integrity of the votes. B. Material Conflicts of Interest In addition to the procedures discussed above, if the GST Director determines that an issue raises a material conflict of interest,
