If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request for TIPs to tip@tappi.org or for Standards to standards@tappi.org. General Announcements
Propose a New Standard or Technical Information Paper (TIP) Getting started is easy. Do you have just a general idea for a Standard, or are you farther along and have a substantial draft? If you just have a general idea for a Standard or TIP, complete the New Idea Submission form. TAPPI will review your idea and identify an appropriate committee or group to work on your suggestion. If you are further along, send an initial draft to standards@tappi.org. From there, the TAPPI Standards Manager will guide you through the appropriate process to finalize and approve the new document. STAR of the Month
The purpose of this TIP is to provide guidelines and procedures for basic operation and safety of Yankee doctors.

Overdue Reports Distributed
A report outlining the overdue reviews for Standards was sent to the Quality and Standards Management Committee (Q&SMC) on September 23rd, 2024. Copies of these reports were also sent to the assigned Working Group Chairs for these overdue reviews as well as to Chairs of the appropriate technical groups in TAPPI. Anyone who did not receive the overdue report but who have an interest may obtain a copy by requesting it from standards@tappi.org. Working Group Chairs: This report was 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 22nd, 2024) Q&SMC will take these reports of progress under consideration. To provide updates regarding this report, send a message to standards@tappi.org no later than October 15th, 2024 in order to be able to provide this information to Q&SMC at their October 22nd meeting.
