The titles and scopes for the two TIPs are shown below. The WI number indicates the Work Item number. 0609 - Nonwood Plant FibersWI 140609.01 Common or local names for a nonwood fiber raw material Scope: Nonwood fiber raw materials offer pulp and paper makers a vast potential resource in addition to trees. One of the difficulties encountered often is matching the common or local name for a particular nonwood fiber raw material with its scientific name so that one can search for available technical literature on the nonwood fiber raw material. This TIP provides the scientific names and the common/local names of nonwood fiber raw materials that are currently used by the international pulp and paper industry or that have been the focus of published research. The list likely does not include all of the nonwood fiber raw materials that have been studied in research papers, and it should be considered a work-in-progress. As much as possible, this TIP includes the common names in English, French, German and Spanish. In addition, common/local names in other languages are included where known. 0425 - Yankee Dryer Safety and Reliability WI 160425.03 Guidelines for usage of MAP on raw Yankee surfaces Scope: This Technical Information Paper (TIP) will provide general guidelines for the usage of MAP to protect raw Yankee dryer surfaces after grinding or polishing the surface of a cast iron Yankee. MAP reacts with the cast iron surface to form a ferrous-phosphate layer on the Yankee surface. This document is not meant to supersede recommendations by original equipment manufacturers.

Reports outlining the overdue reviews for Standards and TIPs were sent to the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) on August 6, 2018. Copies of these reports were also sent to the assigned Working Group Chairmen for these overdue reviews as well as to chairmen of the appropriate technical groups in TAPPI. Anyone who did not receive the overdue reports but who have an interest may obtain copies by requesting them from standards@tappi.org. Working Group Chairmen: These reports were sent to you for your information and action, if required. Q&SMC may, according to the Standards Guidelines, withdraw any Standards or TIPs whose reviews are overdue, especially if it appears that little progress is being made on the Work Item. If more information or indications of progress on these Work Items are received prior to the next meeting (October 3, 2018), Q&SMC will take these reports of progress under consideration. To provide updates regarding these reports, send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than September 27, 2018, in order to be able to provide this information to Q&SMC at their October 3 meeting.
