(Germander) Although the panel understood the importance of standards for açai, there were questions about its viability as an SPDS ingredient. Atkinson had submitted a paper by Alexander Schauss, AIBMR Life Sciences discussing the subject. The Advisory Panel agreed to choose açai as a Set 8 ingredient on the condition that AOAC further investigate the need for standards in this area and whether or not methods already exist. ACTION for AOAC to discuss this further with Atkinson and Schauss and report back to the Advisory Panel on this matter at the spring Advisory Panel teleconference. ACTION for Atkinson to do an email introduction for Frazier and Schauss. Scullcap was chosen as a backup ingredient if the panel decides not to move forward on açai. The group then held a brief discussion on potential working group members, chairs, and/or organizations that should be included in these new working groups. IV. Next Steps Frazier advised that the immediate next steps for the new ingredients will be to assign chairs for the Set 7 working groups and get them started on a launch presentation. ACTION for Frazier to begin contacting the individuals mentioned earlier in this meeting. Frazier said that the next meeting of the SPDS will be in Gaithersburg, MD and will be on March 17, 2017. At that time, SMPRs for Aloe Vera, Free Amino Acids, Ginger, and Vitamin K will be presented for approval. Further, the Set 7 Working Groups will be launched. V. Adjourn
