Ex Officio 4.2.3.5.1. The Chair of the JTC 1 TAG and a designated representative of the JTC 1 TAG Administrator are ex officio members of JTC 1 TAG Subgroups. A representative of the ANSI JTC 1 Secretariat staff is an ex officio member of the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee. Ex officio members may receive if they request, meeting notices, draft agenda and minutes, and draft standards, TRs and study reports being voted upon by letter ballot. Other documents are not required to be distributed to ex officio members.
Membership becomes effective with attendance at one of the next two successive meetings.
An organization with coordination membership shall appoint one and only one principal representative and may appoint one or more alternate representatives. A coordination member shall have the right to submit ballot comments on JTC 1 TAG ballots. Dominance means a position or exercise of dominant authority, leadership, or influence by reason of superior leverage, strength, or representation. Unless it is claimed by a directly and materially affected person that a single interest dominated the standards activity, to the exclusion of fair and equitable consideration of other viewpoints, no test for dominance is required. An organization fails to perform an above action when none of the organization's representatives perform the action.
