Comment on ANSI
Procedures revisions

The process by which proposed procedural revisions are vetted is as follows:

• A proposed revision is submitted by any interested party to [email protected] (or directly to the Secretary of the ANSI ExSC) in legislative format with a rationale.
• A proposed revision is reviewed by the ANSI Executive Standards Council (ExSC) at a meeting.
• If approved, the proposed revision is announced for public comment in Standards Action, in a news article on ANSI.org, and/or via social media.
• Public comments are reviewed by the ANSI ExSC (typically at the next meeting) and responses are developed; if no further revisions to the proposal will be made, then the ExSC votes to approve or withdraw. If substantive changes are to be made, then another pubic review in Standards Action is scheduled.
• Written responses are issued to public commenters by the Secretary of the ANSI ExSC.
• If approved by the ExSC, proposed procedural revisions are then submitted to the Executive Committee of the ANSI Board of Directors for final approval.
• Approved revisions are incorporated into the next edition of the procedures, issued in January of the following year.
