Technical Committee
The Archery Trade Association (ATA) Technical Committee is an ad hoc committee which will be assembled as needed by action of the ATA Board of Directors to address specific requests for clarification.

The Board of Directors may initiate the action independently or in response to a request by Members.

Below is the proposal review and reporting process.

Submission Guidelines

In the request for action by the Technical Committee, ATA members must communicate their issue in writing following these guidelines:


What to Include

– Detailed information about the issue/area of concern
– Why should the ATA consider the action
– Supporting images/drawings as needed
– Proposed solutions/outcomes

 


What not to Include

– Safety issues
– Patent or trademark issues

 

 

SUBMIT REQUEST

After Submitting

ATA staff will review submission to ensure all required information has been included.


If Accepted

If the submission is determined to have merit as a viable project within the ATA’s scope, the ATA’s Executive Committee will introduce the proposal to the entire Board of Directors for review. The requesting party will be informed of this decision.

 


If Rejected

If rejected, the requesting party will be informed of the decision and the factors that led to the decision.

 

 

Board Review


If Approved

If approved by the Board, an ad hoc Technical Committee will be formed utilizing subject matter experts (SME) to research, evaluate and issue a finding. A project lead will be assigned from the group of SMEs to promote structure and efficiency. The requesting party will be informed of this decision. ATA staff will be responsible for setting meetings and other logistics.

 


If Declined

If declined by the Board, the requesting party will be informed of the decision and the factors that led to the decision.

 



Final Report

Upon conclusion of the review process, the Technical Committee will present the findings to the Board of Directors and submit any changes needed to the ATA Technical Guidelines document. The requesting party will be informed of this decision. New ATA Technical Guidelines will then be issued, as appropriate.
