Proposal for Representative Voting Members
To develop the proposal for voting members that is representative of the registrants for the SPSFAM
meeting. There is a maximum of 30 seats possible; however, with the number of registrants, 30 voting
seats may be more than is needed to represent the stakeholder panel. There are 51 registered
organizations of which 21‐23 organizations would be appropriate to ensure that the perspectives are
covered.
