There are several ways to analyze the perspectives of the registrants.  There are three to four major  categories, which are academia, government, industry, and nongovernmental organizations.  Academia  representatives are from educational and research organizations.  Government representatives are from  regulatory agencies including domestic, municipal, federal, and international.    1. Broad perspectives include a view of the registrants in terms of academia, government, industry  and nongovernmental organizations.    2. Specific perspectives include further categorization of registrants by categories of industry,  categories of government, and if necessary by types of academia.  3. Regional perspectives include categorization of registrants by regions of the world and/or  regions of a particular region.  As needed, registrants will be further categorized as or if needed to clarify perspectives.  

Figure 1‐Broad Perspectives of Organizational Registrants 

A. Broad Perspectives (Figure 1)  More than 70% of the organizational  registrants are from the broad group of  industry.  Sixteen percent of the registrants  are from government agencies.  A smaller  amount of the registrants is from academic  organizations  and  nongovernmental  organizations can be associated with either  academia, government, or industry, but are  not.  To develop a list of representative voting  members to demonstrate consensus for  SPSFAM, the industry perspective is large  enough to require further categorization.
