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)  Government registrants are the  largest sector with 70% of the  organizational  registrants.   Industry registrants are at 22%.   There  are  no  academic  institutional registrants for this  meeting;  however,  both  independent  registrants  and  nongovernmental organizational  registrants are both four percent  each.  To develop a list of  representative voting members to  demonstrate  consensus  for  SPADA,  the  government  perspective is large enough to  require further categorization.    B. Specific Perspectives  (Figure 2)  Registrants are categorized  into specific perspectives.   Just more than one‐fifth of  the organizational registrants  are military organizations.   Eighteen percent represents  the  research  category,  including within the military  and the national laboratories.   Both reference standards and  method  developers  organizations represent 13%  of  the  registrants.  Government  coordination 

agencies  and  consulting  registrants are represented at  nine percent each.  The  additional 16% is represented  by food regulators, product manufacturers, state regulators and method technology providers.  Figure 2 ‐ Specific Perspectives of Organizational Registrants
