2017 Mid-Year Meeting Voting & ERP Panels

Technology providers is another category of industry that  could be further categorized between instrumentation  companies and test kit companies.   For this category,  companies in this category are represented with just a little  more than half as major instrumentation companies,  whereas just under half of the companies develop test kits  companies.

To look at the regional registrants a little closer, the  European registrants, that make up 15% of the registrants,  are further categorized according to country.  In Figure 7,  of the European registrants, one‐fourth of the  organizations are from the Netherlands.

D. Proposal for Representative Voting Members  To develop the proposal for voting members that is representative of the registrants for the SPSFAM  meeting.  There is a maximum of 30 seats possible; however, with the number of registrants, 30 voting  seats may be more than is needed to represent the stakeholder panel.  There are 51 registered  organizations of which 21‐23 organizations would be appropriate to ensure that the perspectives are  covered.
