Reports outlining the overdue reviews for Standards were sent to the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) on March 19, 2021 for TIPs and March 27, 2021 for Standards. Copies of these reports were also sent to the assigned Working Group Chairs for these overdue reviews as well as to Chairs of the appropriate technical groups in TAPPI.

Anyone who did not receive the overdue reports but who has an interest may obtain a copy by requesting it from standards@tappi.org.

Working Group Chairs: This report was sent to you for your information and action, if required. Q&SMC may, according to the Standards Guidelines, withdraw any Standards or TIPs whose reviews are overdue, especially if it appears that little progress is being made on the Work Item. If more information or indications of progress on these Work Items are received prior to the next meeting May 18, 2021, Q&SMC will take these reports of progress under consideration.

To provide updates regarding these reports, send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than Friday, May 7, 2021, in order to be able to provide this information to Q&SMC at their Tuesday, May 18th, 2021 meeting.
