An important, and required, part of the CEDS process is the creation of a Review Committee. The Review Committee composition has been discussed and revised per input and feedback of all members. As a result, members have been added to ensure that it represents all jurisdictions adequately. Please note: the Review Committee is subject to change as this is an 18-month long project and members may retire, change positions, or alternatively, additional representation may be identified by existing members during the process.

 

As of August 2023, the Review Committee is comprised of 19 members external to the EDC as well as 3 EDC staff members, for a total of 23 members:
