Drafting Team Vacancies

NERC currently has several drafting teams which have vacancies seeking additional subject matter experts.   Participation on drafting teams provides stakeholders an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the standards development process, play a pivotal role in improving electric reliability, and interact with industry peers interested in similar issues. 

By submitting a nomination for a drafting team you are indicating your willingness and agreement to actively participate in the standards development process and in particular drafting team meetings if appointed to the drafting team by the Standards Committee.  This means that if you are appointed to drafting team you are expected to attend the vast majority of the face-to-face drafting team meetings as well as participate in the vast majority of the drafting team meetings held via conference calls. Failure to do so shall result in your removal from the drafting team and will be a factor when considering membership for future drafting teams.

The NERC coordinators for the following projects have identified the need for additional subject matter experts. Industry stakeholders can nominate themselves for consideration by the Standards Committee for these specific vacancies.  The Reliability Standards Development Procedure provides information on the process and drafting team participation. 

Any industry stakeholder meeting the indicated qualifications for the vacant appointments can submit a self nomination form to sarcomm@nerc.com. Please contact Lauren Koller at lauren.koller@nerc.net with questions regarding the drafting team vacancies.
