You're right, there could be a number of reasons. However, I would like to know the reasons for any bishops who actually voted against the resolution.

One would hope the names of the voters would be listed at the USCCB’s website, along with the full text of the document. If there were Bishops present who didn’t support it, you could pretty much guess, from the names and the text, whether they are pro-euthanasia or whether they thought the document was weak.

The bishops overwhelmingly approved the issuance of To Live Each Day with Dignity: A Statement on Physician Assisted Suicide with 191 votes in favor, 1 against and no abstentions. Here's a little more info - I'm not finding a text, yet. It looks like all but one of the bishops present voted for the document. If others were absent, it seems proxy votes were not taken.
