The ISTA Board of Directors recently approved a new process to review and implement changes to existing test procedures, as well as suggesting new testing procedures. With the new policy, ISTA members will be significantly involved in the advancement of our testing procedures. The Technical Council, made up of member-volunteers, will review proposed changes and new procedures, obtain inputs from the members at large, and oversee the process of balloting to accept or reject.

In order to facilitate this process, we use an online discussion forum. Forum accounts are used to post comments or suggestions, participate in ongoing discussions, and send private messages to Staff or other Council members. The Council message boards are restricted to ISTA Members Only.
