- The Modernization of Standards Processes and Procedures Task Force (MSPPTF) was formed in February 2025 NERC Board of Trustees resolution to conduct a strategic review of and re-envision the standards process. The goal of this initiative is to enable the timely resolution of reliability issues that merit a standard while maintaining the traditional hallmarks of stakeholder engagement for which NERC is known.
- The MSPPTF has identified areas for improvement in the standards process and is conducting a deep dive into three areas of opportunity: 1) standards initiation/standard authorization requests, 2) standards development/drafting, and 3) balloting.
- As part of this initial phase, the task force is seeking input via a survey that provides an opportunity for stakeholders to offer ideas for consideration to transform current processes to more effectively address the complex and rapidly evolving risk landscape.
- Please complete the survey by 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Thursday, June 5. All responses are anonymous. While the task force will not directly respond to specific comments, feedback will be considered by the task force as it develops its initial outline of recommended changes that will be posted this summer for additional stakeholder input.
