The Standards Oversight Committee (SOC) is comprised of members with broad stakeholder representation. The target composition of the SOC includes a mix of trade groups, regulatory bodies, academic institutions, non-government organizations and other stakeholders:
• Three catching sector
• Three industry
• Three non-government organizations
• Three academia
After review by the SOC, standards are modified, if necessary, and published for 60 days of public comment. The committee's consideration of comments leads to a final draft that must be approved by the SOC and GSA Board of Directors before implementation.
The SOC from time to time has membership vacancies in one or more stakeholder categories. We would like to invite the public to suggest nominees from any of these categories who would be willing to serve a three-year term as members of the SOC. Please send nominations to: Dan.Lee@GlobalSeafood.org and David.Yunker@GlobalSeafood.org.
The Standards Oversight Committee for the Best Seafood Practices program is still in development.
