Footnotes:

1. Project Status and Impact Status:
   

SDOs are notified of relevant "Active" projects and invited to participate throughout milestones.

SDOs are notified when relevant projects are "Completed" and requested documentation that research was used to revise that standard in part or in whole.

"Out for Revision" means the SDO plans to provide the final report to the committee when the standard is next out for revision. Future survey dates will capture the ultimate impact status.

"Standard Revised" means that the SDO intends to revise the affected standard during the next scheduled revision date. SDOs decide if research results warrant revision sooner than scheduled.

"Supports New Standard" means the research results don't associate with any known standard and may drive the creation of a new consensus standard.
