NSRS Procedure Revisions
● May 1, 2013 version replaces November 3, 2010 version
● In general, updates align procedure with practice
NSRS provides regular updates to RSC (not findings and
recommendations)
There is no voting structure associated with NSRS; it operates
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
Updated Texas RE address
● Seeking RSC approval of May 1, 2013 version
