Page Background

For 23 representatives and using the Broad Perspectives of Registrants as a based, 6% academia would 

allow for one (1) to two (2) institutions.   Government is 16% of the registrants, and this would allow for 

four (4) agencies.  As industry is 76% of the registrants, this would allow for 17‐18 companies. With NGO 

being 2% percent of the registrants, this would allow for one (1) organization.   

Adding the regional perspective, 74% of the registrants are from the US which would make 17 members 

of the representative of stakeholder registrants from the US.  Also, 15% of the registrants are European.  

Therefore, to represent Europe among the stakeholders require three (3) to four (4) voting members.  

These numbers need to balance with the regional perspective for the same set of registrants.  One 

voting member from India and New Zealand is representative of the other regions.  Brazil may be 

represented by the US as the organization that is in Brazil is also in the US and the organization may opt 

to be represented by its US counterpart. 

RECOMMENDATION:

For the AOAC Official Methods Board to review and approved the recommended proposal in Table 2 for 

representative voting members for the SPSFAM meeting on Monday, March 13, 2017.
