In addition to the web pages you are looking at now, there is a Member's website that allows participants to communicate via bulletin boards, download drafts and other documents, and make comments on proposed sections. A member is defined as anyone who has attended a working group or coordination meeting in the past 24 months. Members should have received information on how to log onto the members area via e-mail. If you should have access, but did not receive a password, it may be because the Secretariat does not have a current e-mail address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account. The Secretariat team can assist with password resets if necessary. 

As you become more familiar with the Handbook, please consider becoming actively involved in its development by attending Coordination Group meetings on a regular basis. The broader the range of participants, the better and more useful the handbook will become. There are currently no membership dues, or fees, and no requirements for becoming a participating member of any Working Group. Your contribution could help to produce a Handbook that is a valuable resource for the entire composites community.

Suggestions for Getting Involved with a Working Group

• Working Group meetings are open to anyone, regardless of your ability to come to Joint Coordination Meetings

• Attend a Joint Coordination Meeting (either in person or virtual) to see what the group is currently working on

• Contact WG chairmen directly

  • Use this site for names and contact information

Meeting proceedings include a master table-of-contents that shows the WG responsibilities for sections in the handbook.
