  standards including
• provide technical advice guidance to
  formulating committee(s)
• review draft standard to ensure it meets
  original work request intent

  standards

  ensure necessary information exchange.

OCC directions

• At the end of the 3 month comment period use
  the prior monthly OCC meetings, input from
  liaisons, TSC, and other key stakeholders to
  determine the appropriate next steps for OCC.
  Such determinations should be completed and
  provided to the TSC in advance of its next
  face-to-face meeting scheduled for October 2007.
  The next steps determination might conclude
• 1) Since OCC may have determined all the correct
  Standards groups to close the remaining gaps and
  that OCC should be disbanded. OR
• 2) There are still critical areas where OCC
  direction or further survey work is desirable.
• i) In which case an appropriate scope to focus on
  those critical work items would be created to
  guide OCC activities for the next six month
  period as authorized by the TSC.
• ii) Any future OCC direction should include a
  frank appraisal of the resources OCC
  participating companies are willing to contribute
  to support the identified work items.
