The first meeting of a CMC Coordination Group was held in March 1996. Additional participants for this coordination group are being sought. All sections of the Handbook are approved at three levels - working group, coordination group, and through a DOD coordination review. Comments received during the review at each of these levels are considered before moving onto the next level. Data for the handbook are analyzed by the Secretariat and move through the same review process.
Export control is considered for both data and handbook sections.
In addition to the review process, comments on the Handbook can be submitted by anyone at anytime. DOD Form 1426 is included at the back of each volume for this purpose. Further information on procedures is found in the User's Guide. Coordination Interaction and coordination with other composites organizations are considered important by the Handbook coordination groups. The Intersociety Forum, which provides an opportunity to discuss focal topics and general progress by these organizations, meets in conjunction with the PMC Coordination Group.
