  1. Responding to TAC Comments Shannon Banchero, Manager, Technical Documents

  2. Webinar • If you have a question during the Webinar, please use the “chat” feature. There will be a question period at the end, however. • If you experience difficulty with the Webinar and need to speak with someone, please contact Barbara Coleman at 248-848-3724.

  3. Which Comments Need a Response? • The committee must respond to each TAC comment.

  4. What are Proper Responses to “P, G, and E” comments? • The committee can agree and make an appropriate change to the document. • The committee can disagree; however, a detailed reason statement for the disagreement must be provided. • The committee can agree to make an item new business, but a valid reason statement is necessary. (Do not use new business as a response for the majority of P comments.)

  5. What are Proper Responses to “S” Comments? • The committee can agree and make an appropriate change to the document. • The committee can disagree; however, no documentation is necessary. • The committee can agree to take the item as new business, and no reason is necessary.

  6. Do I Need to Ballot the Responses? • Yes. Responses to TAC comments must be approved by either web ballot or meeting ballot, regardless of whether or not the response resulted in a change to the document.

  7. What are Common Mistakes Made by Committees? • Make sure the response to the TAC comment matches the change in the revised document. • If staff is to make the change, the directions must be specific. Staff will not rewrite portions of the document. • “Done” is not an adequate response. The response must state how the document was changed. • If the committee only partially agrees with a comment, state what portion of the comment the committee agrees and disagrees with, and provide reason for disagreement (if P, G, or E comment).

  10. What are More Efficient Ways to Respond to Comments? • Distribute the comments among members and have them formulate responses. • Use web ballots and virtual meetings to handle the bulk of the TAC comments. • Ballot all editorial comments in one ballot. • Use the convention meeting to respond to the most difficult comments.
