2017 Mid-Year Meeting Voting & ERP Panels

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.

Broad Perspectives 

(Figure 1)  Nearly 

70%  the  organizational registrants are  from the broad group of  industry.  Twenty (20) percent  of the registrants are from  government agencies.  A  smaller  amount  of  the  registrants is from academic  organizations and eight percent  of registrants are from global  nongovernmental  organizations can be associated  of 

with either academia, government, or industry, but are not.  To develop a list of representative voting  members to demonstrate consensus for SPIFAN, the industry perspective is large enough to require  further categorization.
