This kick-off event will consist of a targeted group of experts, including the members of DARAC and those involved with the NOD EPI, working to identify what standards currently exist and in what areas new standards need to be developed, followed by actionable recommendations for the timely development of standards in the identified needs areas. Any ANSI-HSSP members who are interested in participating in this new Workshop, or have suggestions on individuals/organizations that should be extended an invite, are encouraged to contact Matt Deane at your earliest convenience.
