  1. Proposals and Considerations for EC Alignment and Optimization Proposal for Structure

  2. October TC Meeting • ACTION ITEM from October 8 Meeting Report • Develop proposals and considerations for Engineering Committee alignment and optimization (Assigned to Herb)

  3. Background • The Chair noted that it would be desirable for there to be a limited time for the subcommittee – that it is not envisioned to be an ongoing subcommittee. • The Chair further commented that there should be some recognition and mechanism for Engineering Committees to grow, to maintain status quo, and to susnset.

  4. Background • Peter Nurse offered a consideration for a “maintenance standards” mechanism that would allow the documents from some less-active groups to be maintained without actively having to meet just for the sake of maintaining documents.

  5. Background • It was further discussed that some Engineering Committees, particularly some of the newer ones, have been difficult to populate and to identify volunteer leadership. • The question was asked if there were some possible solution that the TC could consider.

  6. Separation of Actions • 1. Maintenance of Documents • 2. Consolidating Engineering Committees

  7. Maintenance ofDocuments • EM Clause 7.1 - The Formulating Group, or its parent consensus body if the former no longer exists, is responsible for the maintenance of TIA standards, specifications, and bulletins as well as American National Standards.

  8. Maintenance ofDocuments • EM Clause 7.2 (TIA) - TSBs and TIA Standards can be reaffirmed or withdrawn at a committee meeting.

  9. Maintenance ofDocuments • EM Clause 7.2.2 (ANSI) - Reaffirmation requires a formal industry balloting process. The procedures for the development of a new ANS shall be followed. • EM Clause 7.2.3 (ANSI) - Withdrawal requires a formal industry balloting process. The procedures for the development of a new ANS shall be followed.

  10. Maintenance ofDocuments • Engineering Manual (current revision) is a bit limiting. • If a subcommittee sunsets, then the parent consensus body can take the actions. • Proposal: Submit this issue to the Engineering Manual Committee for consideration in the next revision.

  11. ConsolidatingEngineering Committees • New Engineering Committees • TR-48: Vehicular Telematics • TR-49: Healthcare • TR-50: M2M Smart Device Communications • TR-51: Smart Utility Networks

  12. ConsolidatingEngineering Committees • Observations • TR-48 and TR-49 and kind of “verticals” to M2M • TR-49 Leadership engaged in M2M • TR-48 Leadership is open

  13. ConsolidatingEngineering Committees • Proposal • Dissolve (or place in dormant status) TR-48 and TR-49 • Request TR-50 to create two subcommittees • TR-50.1: Vehicular Telematics • TR-50.2: Healthcare
