on a voluntary, consensus-based model
 Chair and Vice Chair are selected by NSRS participants;
vacancies filled as needed
 NSRS may designate a point of contact for particular projects
 Texas RE’s role includes scheduling and facilitating webmeetings
 NSRS should strive for diverse participation from all sectors
and from large and small companies
