Step 3: Email the proposal in Microsoft Word format to info@ncwm.com. NCWM will forward the proposal to the appropriate technical advisors for inclusion on the agenda of the Sector or Work Group's next meeting. A Technical Advisor may contact you for additional information or clarification, if necessary. Step 4: It is highly recommended that you attend the next Sector or Work Group meeting as the submitter of the proposal. The technical group will consider the item. All participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and present an opinion in support or opposition to the item. Your presence ensures that the Sector or Work Group has a correct understanding of the proposal. The goal of Sectors and Work Groups is to reach consensus, either in support or opposition. While rare, there are occasions where a group cannot reach clear agreement; in this situation, the Sector or Work Group Members will vote. The result of the consensus or vote will be recorded in the Meeting Summary. During the next scheduled NCWM Interim Meeting, the NTEP Committee will review the Meeting Summary and have further discussion. The Committee may adopt the report in its entirety or has the option to omit portions of the recommendations. If your proposal is approved, NCWM will amend the next edition of Publication 14 to reflect the change. If your proposal is not supported by the Sector or Work Group or not adopted by the NTEP Committee, you have the option to revise your proposal and submit it for the next annual meeting cycle.
