U.S. TAG MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO Technical Committee 59 – Buildings and Civil Engineering Works

Membership on the US TAG to ISO/TC 59 is open to all U.S. national interested parties who indicate that they are directly and materially affected by the standards developed by Technical Committee 59. Wide representation from government, private sector companies, educational institutions, consumers, and non-profits is sought. US TAG Members are leaders and experts in their field who want their voices to be heard, both domestically and internationally, on matters that impact their industry or area of interest covered by the TAG. Participation as a US TAG Member offers opportunities to develop negotiation skills while working with a variety of stakeholders and obtaining a wider view of how the industry functions overall, as well as broadening their technical knowledge overall.

Members are expected, at a minimum, to review and comment on documents under development which fall under their areas of interest and expertise. Participation will be monitored in accordance with the ANSI Operating Procedures for U.S. TAGs to ANSI for ISO Activities.

Membership on the US TAG to ISO/TC 59 requires an annual participation fee of $250 to offset administrative expenses. The participation fee entitles the member to receive all TAG communications and contribute to the standards development activities of ISO/TC 59. The membership fee must be submitted with the application (invoice available upon request). For initial membership, the participation fee will be applied to the calendar year in which it is received. New applications with fee received after November 1 of any calendar year will be applied to the following calendar year. Subsequent invoices for the participation fee will be distributed each January to every TAG member for that calendar year. If the participation fee represents an excessive financial burden to any individual or organization, effectively precluding their participation in the US TAG, the applicant may apply to the TAG Administrator for a waiver of the participation fee.
