Committee Work
In January, 2005, the Joint Committee submitted its final draft (December 2004) to their respective organizations for review. During the January-March 2005 period, the Joint Committee examined targeted suggestions from constituent sources, developed the April 10, 2005 document, and submitted it to their organizations for review and approval.

Additional comments and suggestions from constituent groups resulted in the Joint Committee developing the final version of the Standards. That version was adopted by each organization during the August-September 2005 period. By agreement of the organizations, the final document carries an effective date of September 2005. The Reporter's Notes were revised accordingly.

Each Committee member approved the Reporter's Notes as accurately reflecting the commentary, history and deliberations of the Revision Process.
