Proposal for Representative Voting Members
To develop the proposal for voting members that is representative of the registrants for the SPADA
meeting. There is a maximum of 25 seats possible; however, with the number of registrants, 25 voting
seats may be more than is needed to represent the stakeholder panel. There are 23 registered
organizations of which 12‐13 organizations would be appropriate to ensure that the perspectives are
covered.
For 13 representatives and using the Broad Perspectives of Registrants as a base, government is 70% of
the registrants, and this would allow for nine (9) agencies. As industry is 22% of the registrants, this would
allow for three (3) companies. With NGO being 4% percent of the registrants, this would allow for at least
one organization.
Region is not as much of an issue as it is all domestic with the heaviest concentration in the Washington,
DC area (Washington, DC., Maryland, and Virginia).
RECOMMENDATION:
For the AOAC Official Methods Board to review and approved the recommended proposal in Table 2 for
representative voting members for the SPADA meeting on Wednesday, March 15, 2017.
