U.S. technical experts to the ISO committees are organized in Technical Advisory Groups (TAG),
they formulate the U.S. position on the ISO TC matters and these are formally submitted by ANSI, as
the U.S. voting member, to ISO. Any individual or organization based in the United States of America
that has an interest in standards is encouraged to participate through the ANSI accredited Technical
Advisors Group (TAG). ECCMA is the ANSI accredited administrator of the US TAG to TC 184 and its
subcommittees SC4 and SC5. Members of the US TAG have access to all working documents related to
the ISO standards developed by the committees as well as all liaison reports. Members are eligible
for nomination as U.S. experts to international ISO committee meetings and may review, comment and vote
on all standards under development. There is an annual fee of $1,000 payable by all individual or
organizations participating in the US TAG to cover the administration of the TAG by ECCMA and ANSI.
If you would like to become a member of the US TAG to TC 184 and any of its subcommittees,
please email Sheron Koshy at sheron.koshy@eccma.org.
ECCMA
is a not for profit association dedicated to the development
and promotion of open standards, it is committed to ensuring
that there is no financial barrier to the participation
in the development of international standards. If any individual
or organization is unable to participate because the administration
fee represents an excessive financial burden they may apply
to the ECCMA Board of Directors for their administration
fee to be reduced or waived.
