Hi, Robert,

Thank you for your interest in the new NACE Standards Board. Following are responses to your questions:

1. Are the meetings of the new Standards Board open to members?
 REPLY: These are meetings where the board members discuss the business of the standards committees and may include Standards Committee officers and staff among others. Due to space constraints the rooms do not comfortably accommodate a large group of observers. The Standards Board Chair will entertain petitions if someone wants to attend, including specific reasons for that person to attend.

2.  How are the members of the Standards Board selected? 
REPLY:  The Standards Board is comprised of a minimum of 7 and no more than 12 voting members who serve as standards and standardization experts/managers from the corrosion technologies community, government agencies, and other stakeholders in the corrosion technologies. The Initial Standards Board members, including officers, were nominated by the Standards Governance ad hoc committee, reviewed by the sitting NACE President and approved by a 2/3rd majority of the NACE Board of Directors. Thereafter, the Vice Chair succeeds the Chair, and the outgoing Chair appoints the next in-coming Vice Chair. Both appointments are subject to 2/3rd majority approval by all voting members of the Standards Board.
