2017 Mid-Year Meeting Voting & ERP Panels

For 23 representatives and using the Broad Perspectives of Registrants as a based, 6% academia would  allow for one (1) to two (2) institutions.   Government is 16% of the registrants, and this would allow for  four (4) agencies.  As industry is 76% of the registrants, this would allow for 17‐18 companies. With NGO  being 2% percent of the registrants, this would allow for one (1) organization.    Adding the regional perspective, 74% of the registrants are from the US which would make 17 members  of the representative of stakeholder registrants from the US.  Also, 15% of the registrants are European.   Therefore, to represent Europe among the stakeholders require three (3) to four (4) voting members.   These numbers need to balance with the regional perspective for the same set of registrants.  One  voting member from India and New Zealand is representative of the other regions.  Brazil may be  represented by the US as the organization that is in Brazil is also in the US and the organization may opt  to be represented by its US counterpart.
