Technology providers is another category of industry that
could be further categorized between instrumentation
companies and test kit companies. For this category,
companies in this category are represented with just a little
more than half as major instrumentation companies,
whereas just under half of the companies develop test kits
companies.

Regional Perspectives of Registrants
(Figure 6)
There are 12 countries represented by
organizational registrants for SPSFAM.
The US is the regional most represented
by nearly three‐quarters of the
organizations. In addition to Canada,
countries in Asia, Europe, Oceania, and
South America comprise the other 26% of
organizational registrants.
To look at the regional registrants a little closer, the
European registrants, that make up 15% of the registrants,
are further categorized according to country. In Figure 7,
of the European registrants, one‐fourth of the
organizations are from the Netherlands.
D.
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.
