The Transformers Committee AMS database of people currently has three general categories of participation in our activities. These are: Interested Individual, Active Participant, and Committee Member. Anyone can join our AMS 123 system as the system is designed for self-registration. A new participant will automatically be assigned the role of Interested Individual when they first sign up. Based on the level of participation, the committee administrative staff will upgrade the participation status to “Active Participant” when appropriate. The Committee Member status however, can only be attained through a formal application with the sponsorship of a minimum of three WG or SC chairmanships. Details of the application requirements and approval process by the Administrative Subcommittee are outlined in our O&P manual.

The following table contains a count of the participants grouped by the three general categories.
