December 2, 2006D1NR QE ABCTM updateQE Governance - 32 D1NR Discussion  The ABCTM governance model is based on an “hierarchical scheduling” approach, where requests are made for a QE to an AQEC, and thus there is schedule knowledge of all checkrides for all QEs.

December 2, 2006D1NR QE ABCTM updateQE Governance - 33 D1NR Governance Questions  Do we want to change to the different scheduling approach?  Do we want to then have AQECs? (probably by Sector)  If not, how do we wish to address the other functions of the AQECs, or do we just roll all that up to the CQEC?

However, training items required for the district or local AOR can be added.  Onus on tracking member training fulfillment is on local (not national) staff.  Do we want to develop district training items? (e.g. pump operation)
