  1. US/TAG BEST PRACTICES Conference on U.S. Leadership in ISO and IEC Technical Committees Presented by Joseph Tretler, Jr. Business Director, Standards Facilitation American National Standards Institute

  2. US/TAG BEST PRACTICES DISCUSSION • This session results from discussions at last year’s conference and from AIF discussions. • The purpose is to dialogue among US/TAG leaders present on how they handle issues common across US/TAGs. • AIF members provided four suggested topic areas: • US/TAG membership recruitment; • US/TAG member comment resolution; • US/TAG membership/participation fees; • US/TAG document distribution and communications.

  3. ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE US/TAG PARTICIPATION • How do US/TAG leaders identify the right US interests that should be involved? • Does your US/TAG do any special outreach to under-represented stakeholder categories? • How do your US/TAG leaders convince companies and other interests of the value of active participation? • Does your US/TAG provide any incentives to ensure participation? (Reduced fees, travel funding)?

  4. RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTING US/TAG MEMBER COMMENTS • Are you often confronted with conflicting US/TAG member comments requiring resolution? • Do the conflicts tend to occur between or within stakeholder groups? • Do international voting deadlines impede the time needed to resolve conflicting comments? Is there ample time for recirculation ballots to confirm positions? • What mechanisms do you use to resolve comments? • Do you ever employ the option to abstain due to lack of national consensus?

  5. US/TAG PARTICIPATION FEES • US/TAG participation fees are not prohibited, but they should not be a burden to any interested party and waivers must be allowed for justified cases (ANSI policy). • How do different US/TAGs fund themselves and their operations? • Does your US/TAG have a participation or membership fee? • Are certain rights or privileges contingent on payment of a fee (e.g., international leadership roles or WG expert positions)?

  6. US/TAG DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION AND COMMUNICATIONS Document Distribution: • Has your US/TAG migrated to 100% electronic distribution? • What are the most effective approaches to electronic distribution? • What are your experiences accessing documents from ANSI via Sharepoint? Communications: • Does your US/TAG have newsletters, online information services, conferences or other mechanisms to share information about its work?
