DMSC needs to submit an MBC proposal to ANSI as part of the ANSI final approval process. As mandated by a recent ANSI audit, DMSC will be re-forming the Standards Committee (SC) for the purpose of documenting and approving a final MBC 1.0 proposal to ANSI.
The Standards Committee (SC) is open to all parties with Model-Based Characteristics interest. There is no charge to join the SC and DMSC membership is not a requirement, however you must specifically request to join. The SC will review/revise the existing DMSC version of MBC, reformat the document to meet ANSI requirements, and vote to accept/reject the final proposed MBC 1.0 document. If approved by the SC, it is this final document that will be submitted to ANSI for approval as an American National Standard (ANS).
Approval of the final MBC proposal will be completed by way of an in-person meeting, held on Monday, April 14, 2025, 1pm CT, at the MxD facility in Chicago. This date is calendar adjacent to the upcoming MBE/QIF Summit that commences the next day at MxD. SC members that are not attending the in-person meeting will have the opportunity to vote via email.
MBE/QIF Summit attendees are specifically encouraged to participate in this effort – come to Chicago a day early, Monday afternoon, to be part of the DMSC Standards Committee meeting!
If you are interested in joining the DMSC Standards Committee, please contact Mark Thomas.
