"In February 2008, NIST hosted a meeting that included delegates from the OECD, ISO, IEC, IEEE-NTC, and IEEE-SA, and discussed coordination of international standards for nanotechnologies," notes Dr. Herbert Bennett, NIST Fellow and Executive Advisor, and lead Survey contact.

Dr. Bennett tells NWN, "The Survey asks respondents to rank in priority order taxonomy categories (action items).We will use statistical procedures to determine the global consensus for each of the rankings and to estimate 95% confidence levels for each of the action items in a given ranking.TC 113 then will be able to use the priorities from its Survey as guides for allocating its resources more effectively."In addition to seeking Survey responses, the TC 113 is also looking to the nanotechnologies community for continued technical input."One of the questions in the Survey asks whether the respondent would like to be a technical expert for one of TC 113's Working Groups.That is one way respondents may continue to work with TC 113," says Dr. Bennett.
