Activity Identification & Description (AID) Form

• Date Submitted; Submitted by; Name/TN; Affiliation, email
– Activity/Project Name
• A short title for referencing this activity/project
– Activity/Project Description
• Be specific, define the area of focus/discussion.
– Activity/Project Relevance To FoN M&S
• Substantiate importance warranting attention and priority.
– Suggested Plan Of Action/Activities
• Steps and the major technical, consumer or policy issues.

AID Steps
1.
Complete all of the fields on the AID Form and submit it via email
simultaneously to ALL FoN co-chair(s). If the AID Form is received at
least seven calendar days prior to the next meeting, it will be added to
the next meeting’s agenda.
2.
The AID Form will be reviewed by the FoN co-chair(s) and processed as
long as the form is complete. If during co-chair review or during the
FoN’s review it is found that the AID Form is incomplete or missing
data, the submitter(s) will be asked to resubmit the AID Form,
effectively restarting the process.
3.
AID Forms will be placed on the agenda and reviewed on a first come
first serve basis. At least one of the submitters must be present to discuss
the AID Form. The submitter(s) will present and answer questions
during review. Disposition will be made via FoN consensus at a
subsequent meeting to allow participants time for consideration.
4.
AID Forms will be posted, discussed and considered by the FoN unless
the Form is found to be incomplete or is withdrawn by the submitters.
All AID Form submissions will be reported to the NANC Chair and
identified on the Tracking Matrix, even if withdrawn prior to disposition.
AID Steps (continued)
5. After initial presentation, each AID submission will remain on the FoN
agenda until consensus is reached to either accept or reject. If the AID
Form is rejected, or if an agreement is not reached to accept, the
submitter(s) may submit new information for review at a future meeting by
re-submitting the AID Form (with new information), noting both the
original and the new submission date with the word “Reconsider” written
next to the new date.
6. If an AID Form activity/project is accepted, the submitter(s) do not need to
be present for the FoN to work the activity/project since it then becomes an
Activity/Project of the FoN.
7. Upon disposition, all AID Forms will be assigned a Tracking Number
which will then be entered on the Tracking Matrix maintained by the Cochairs.
8. Correspondence by the FoN to other NANC WGs, IMGs or committees
will include a memo from the co-chairs with attachments, e.g., AID form.
Correspondence outside of the NANC needs to be vetted with the NANC
co-chair in advance of distribution.
