Board of Directors The Organization members elect a Board of Directors. Each corporate representative can cast one vote. Members of the Board of Directors serve for a period of three years each. The periods of service are staggered so that each year one third of the board members are elected. The Board makes major decisions and directs key activities. The Board has nine positions, six are utilities (end users) and three are vendors or others. The Board members (individuals) are allowed to hold their seats even if their eligibility status changes (e.g., they move from a user to vendor company) during their tenure unless they are removed or replaced by Board action. The Board meets yearly to elect the Board Chairman and the operational officers and review progress of the Organization. Board responsibilities include: Establishing/approval of development direction based on member input. Approving the annual budget. Monitoring Organization progress vs. targets. Approving committee co-chairs recommended by the respective Committees/Subcommittees. Recommending Bylaws. Electing and advising operating staff.

UtilityAMI Definition, Mission and Goal UtilityAMI is …A forum to define serviceability, security and interoperability guidelines for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and demand responsive infrastructure (DRI) from a utility / energy service provider perspective.

UtilityAMI Definition, Mission and Goal UtilityAMI will develop high level policy statements that can be used to facilitate efficient requirements and specification development using a common language that minimizes confusion and misunderstanding between utilities and vendors. UtilityAMI will also coordinate with other industry groups as required to efficiently carry out its mission.

UtilityAMI Definition, Mission and Goal UtilityAMI has a goal to utilize the UtilityAMI work products to influence the vendor community to produce products and services that utilities need to support their AMI and DRI initiatives.

UtilityAMI Tasks Glossary and Common Language Framework A universal AMI glossary of terms and definitions A framework for technology capability evaluation A common, minimum requirements definition document Modular Meter Interface – Transferred to OpenAMI Policy for modular communication interfaces in meters Security – AMI-SEC Task Force (under UtiliSec WG) Security issues and their relationship to business needs Consumer Interface – OpenHAN Task Force Policy for Customer Portal interface to customer end user appliances AMI Network Interface – AMI-Network Task Force Policy for AMI network to MDMD/head end & HAN interfacing Back Office Interface – AMI-Enterprise Task Force Policy for MDMS to enterprise back office system connectivity General Issues Forum – Information Exchange NEW – http://www.smartgridipedia.org/
