PSRC Standards Coordinator's report
2004 - September- 16


 

The Standards Coordinator, Mohindar Sachdev, met with the Chairs of the Working Groups writing and revising standards documents at 8:00 AM / 9:45 AM on September 14, 2004 in 3 Sisters Room, Doubletree Hotel, Portland Lloyd Center, Portland, OR.

The status of PARs, Standards and Guides, were reviewed at the meeting. The status of the PARs is summarized in this report. The actions to be taken for keeping up-to-date the approval of the PARs and for keeping live the Standards and Guides are identified. A summary of the specific approvals received, since the May 2004 meeting of the PSRC, are identified as well.

Some Important Developments

  1. As of 2005 January 01, there will be no paper ballots. All documents will be balloted electronically and requests for paper balloting will not be entertained by the Standards Association.
  2. PAR Extension form has been revised and the new link for downloading this form is included in the above list.
  3. New balloting procedures will be introduced in 2005. Sponsors will be allowed to start invitation to ballot, choose opening and closing dates, and delegate balloting privileges. The balloters will be allowed to view invitations to ballot, join balloting groups, download documents, submit ballots and comments, and review the responses of the sponsors to the comments.

Standards Coordination Effort
PARs applied for by all Committees of the Power Engineering Society (PES) are being circulated among the Standards Coordinators of the PES Committees. The number and title of each new PAR approved by the Standards Board is posted on the PSRC Web site at the following address.

http://www.pes-psrc.org/Astandards.html

The copy of each PAR can be viewed by clicking at the number of the PAR in the list. All members of the PSRC are requested to review the newly approved PARs. If you are interested in the development work planned in a PAR, contact the Chair of the Working Group that is developing the document and sign up for participating in the activity of that Working Group.
