9 CSTF Report - The Process Open standards process - clearly defined & posted Well-defined criteria for prioritizing new stds work Clear definition & scope of work from IACC to SC Requirements written first by subcommittee (SC) Clearly defined appeals process Standing & working documents posted to website

10 CSTF Report - The Organization Target char. identified, alternatives considered New IACC proposed = Int’l Airlines Cabin Committee - reports to Arinc Board of Directors Equivalent level as AEEC Led & controlled by airlines (ultimate beneficiaries) IACC members = Airline reps involved in and knowledgeable about cabin systems

11 CSTF Report - The Funding 80% Airline-funded by fee based on # pax seats 20% supplier funded via charges for documents Airlines are ultimate beneficiary of cabin stds Airlines will lead and control the IACC, so should provide bulk of funding Suppliers invest to attend meetings, develop technical contributions, provide expertise

12 CSTF Report - Funding Example IACC expected cost = $1M/yr CSSC = Cabin System Service Charge = 0.95 * (.25*NBSeats + 1.0*WBSeats) Example #1: A/L w/200 WB & 400 NB, and if NB has 120 seats & WB has 300 seats ave., then CSSC = 0.95 (.25*48K + 60K) = $68K/yr Example #2: A/L w/10 NB and 10 WB, then CSSC = 0.95 (.25*1.2K + 3K) = $3,135/yr
