TAG 69 MEMEBERSHIP INFORMATION AND RESPONSIBILTIES
Membership within the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 69 on Applications of Statistical Methods
The TAG is an active working body, and membership is not just a recognition of honor status! As a TAG member, your
active personal involvement in TAG affairs is expected and participation will be monitored per the ANSI Procedures for
US Participation in the International Standards Activities of the ISO. Among these activities are:
1. Working Groups: Active participation is required in at least one working group listed on the TC organization chart.
These working groups develop the documents published by ISO/TC 69. Participation includes reviewing submitted
documents or proposals and contributing new U.S. proposals and working documents. Since working groups are only
active until the assigned document becomes a published standard, TAG members will be expected to keep abreast of
new developments and participate in appropriate new working groups as they are created.
2. Meetings and Responsibilities: There are two domestic TAG meetings each year. Participating members are
required to vote on 80 percent of written ballots and attend 75 percent of TAG meetings (in person or via
teleconference) over a two-year period, plus participation in a Task Group. If these responsibilities are more than the
applicant is prepared to assume at this time, one may apply for observer status for a fee of $100.00 annually, and will
receive all documents circulated to the TAG, and would also be welcome to attend meetings, but would not be able to
vote.
There is at least one international meeting of the ISO/TC 69 per year. Additional trips may occur depending on the
work of TC 69 or if it is determined there is a need for further meetings. Ability to travel internationally is helpful and
desirable however, it is not a requirement for participating member status. Expenses for travel are the responsibility
of the participants.
3. Voting: Participating members are expected to return TAG ballots prior to the indicated deadlines. If you do
not feel qualified to comment on a particular document, or cannot devote the required time necessary for a thorough
review, a vote of “abstain” is expected.
