Email 01/04/2013:
My goal in 2013 is to provide you with basic update emails approximately twice a month, so you are involved in developments on the TIA site for users and leadership. For easy search of these emails,
Subject line will state: “System Update – XYZ ”. I will further go over each update during our leadership presentation at the following face-to-face committee meeting so you get familiar with improvements and may comment on them directly to me.

• Specific Issues

• TR-41 Liaison Report for ACTA meetings has been presented by Trone
Bishop – TIA is seeking a volunteer from the committee to act as liaison for
2013

Marianna Kramarikova mkramarikova@tiaonline.org
What is TIA’s process to obtain a copy of the final version of a TIA Standard or
TSB for review prior to a vote to revise or reaffirm the document at a quorum meeting?
In most cases, the complimentary copy that was provided upon approval of the document should suffice. In some cases, this may mean that the voter from the member company who received the copy will need to be located. TIA may be able to assist a member seeking the identity of the voter.
In many cases, the member company has a subscription service with TIA’s publisher which allows access to TIA documents for company employees. If you do not know if your company has a subscription service, TIA will be happy to contact IHS on your behalf.
In those few cases where the voter who received the complimentary copy is no longer at the company, in many cases they would have left a printed copy (company library, for example) that would suffice.
In the fewer cases where the voter who received the complimentary copy is no longer at the company and did not leave a printed copy for others, a representative of the company can request a scanned copy of the document from TIA for their review.
TIA will verify the company’s vote and voter prior to responding to such a request. If a voting member does not have access to the originally balloted document and wishes to obtain a copy of the TIA Standard or TSB published document prior to the meeting he/she may send an email request to the TIA Standards Secretariat with following information:
1/ the complete document title
2/ the committee number and meeting date where the disposition will be determined
3/ complete signature of the voting member including full contact information
For all other cases, purchasing the standard through TIA’s authorized publisher, IHS Global Inc., is the appropriate way to obtain a copy of the standard. Please note that IHS offers TIA members a discount on retail purchases.

Excerpts from the TIA Engineering Manual
•
Clause 6.2.2. on Standards Proposals (ANS’s)
“Only those companies who return ballots will receive a complimentary copy of the published document.” (this does not specifically apply to non-ANS documents.
•
(Clause 7.2):
“TSBs and TIA standards can be reaffirmed or withdrawn at a committee meeting.
The disposition for reaffirmation or withdrawal should be reported in the official committee meeting report, and the appropriate form filled out online and sent to TIA
Standards Secretariat. At the committee’s request a letter ballot may be issued to reaffirm or withdraw these documents.”
•
(Clause 7.2.2)
“Reaffirmation requires a formal industry balloting process. The procedures for the development of a new ANS shall be followed. Copies of the Standard will not normally be distributed with the industry ballots, but scanned electronic copies may be requested through the Standards Secretariat.”

Copy send to wrong email (old company) Copy watermarked with old company name
We had an issue where 8 out of 11 voters were either no longer with committee, retired or replaced by someone else from their company.
Chair compared last letter ballot with attendance roster where reaffirmation of TIA/TSB was taken. He identified individuals that should receive complimentary copy of the reaffirmation and emailed them:
In the case of documents approved by a vote in a meeting of a formulating group (allowed for TSBs and TIA-only standards but not for ANSI standards), the system defaults to sending out the complimentary copies to the individuals who voted on the most recent ballot of the document, i.e., the original document that was approved five years or so ago. Until that glitch can be fixed, the procedure is to submit an email request specifying the number of the document and the date and location of the meeting where a vote was taken to approve or reaffirm it. TIA will confirm that the document was approved at that meeting, that your company was in good standing with TIA, that you were on the quorum list, and that you were in attendance. If so, you will receive your complimentary copy.

• TIA Style Manual defines Scope 2.3.2: This element shall appear at the beginning of every standard to define without ambiguity the subject of the standard and the aspect(s) covered, thereby indicating the limits of applicability of the standard or particular parts of it. It shall not contain requirements.
• Further 4.1.1 “ This standard specifies the dimensions of…; a method of… the characteristics of…; -- establishes a system for… ; general principles for..; -gives guidance on..; defines terms…
• Steve Whitesell:
• "Scope and Justification" box on the form was to capture the scope of the change and the justification for it rather than be where the scope of the document was described. Thus the info in the form on left talks about what changes were being made to the document and why, whereas the one on the right now talks about the scope of the document, which really didn't change as a result of the revision.
• MK: possibly two boxes (one auto populate original scope)
