This is an important moment in the launch of the next revision of the Standards. With the breadth of expertise reflected in these appointments and the composition of the JC, the sponsoring organizations and the Management Committee have anticipated the next generation of important issues for the Standards to address. The MC has also honored its commitment to inclusivity and transparency. Members of the three sponsoring organizations were invited to nominate JC members in accordance with stated criteria. Nearly 200 nominations were received, and the selected members represent unprecedented levels of diversity for the JC in terms of variety of test uses and sociodemographic identities.
Going forward, the Management Committee, including Drs. Kristen Huff (NCME), Fred Oswald (APA), and Michael Rodriguez (AERA), will continue to support the JC in the revision process and usher the revision through publication; and with the JC chairs, Drs. Ye Tong and Andrew De Los Reyes, will construct a multistage, highly inclusive process to secure a revision that maximizes input from across the sponsoring organizations, as well as key stakeholders and users – thus securing the Standards’ timeliness, relevance, and meaningfulness.
