What is the difference between this newly proposed forum and what we have now in the PSTC? It seems to address all of the same subjects. Tony

Please send responses to Fax: 613-592-5130 or Email: [email protected] ________________________________________________________________ If regulatory compliance is not your responsibility within your organization, then please pass this on to the appropriate individual(s). If you don't you may have lost a sale! Note: OCRI is working in conjunction with a steering committee, addressing the requirements for an information networking group focused on regulatory approval. The steering committee includes representatives from the region's premier technology companies. If this is an area of interest to you, please take a few minutes and review the following. Thank you. RAFT Regulatory Approval Forum for Technology Has your company lost out on a sale lately because your product did not comply with regulations? At present Ottawa, and in fact Canada, does not have an open forum regarding regulatory compliance. Professional associations, such as the Boston Chapter of Product Safety Engineers focused on the latest changes to safety standards, exist in other communities. A need for such an association exists in Ottawa. To this end, a steering committee, with representatives from several local technology companies, was created to start RAFT - Regulatory Approval Forum for Technology. RAFT will provide you with an opportunity to network with colleagues in the same field! We intend to arrange for guest speakers from regulatory organizations such as C.S.A., International U.L., Industry Canada, and industry to address various subjects associated with regulatory compliance. Meetings will also include open discussion on general issues of the day. Tours of test facilities are also proposed. Please let us know what topics you think are of interest by taking a few minutes to fill out the attached questionnaire. Our intent is to launch RAFT in January 2000, we would appreciate your response by December 3.
