Bob Rovinsky provided a status of the Exhibit 300 guidance. Susan Underwood stated that ASH had submitted comments to a previous version but had not had an opportunity to review the latest version. Bob said Giovanni Carnaroli would be back on 1/16 and he would request him to provide the ASAG members and opportunity to review the latest version for a final review. Malinda will submit the document to the ASAG for an electronic review and provide the ASAG members a week to review and provide comments. Rebecca asked about the decision on the tailoring. Bob will check this out and get back to Rebecca. If no substantial comments are received from the ASAG members after the electronic review of the final version, the guidance will be submitted as an ASAG endorsed AMS change proposal for final approval.

Actions: (1) Bob Rovinsky to ensure Giovanni provides the final version to Malinda for ASAG distribution and provide Exhibit 300 tailoring decision to Rebecca.

EVM AMS Changes:

Keith Kratzert reported that he only received a few minor comments to the proposed EVM changes. Teri Bristol requested an extension until 1/13 to provide comments. This extension was granted and Keith agreed to submit final version to Malinda after 1/13 to process as an AMS change. Bob Rovinsky stated that the EVM Council is now moving on to other activities. Heywood Shirer reported that he believes an AVS member had been assigned and he will verify if it is Robert Petty or Jennifer Hagen. With the addition of members from AVS and ABA, the team is now complete. The team will be taking steps to ensure that EVM data is used, that it is a management, and not just a paper exercise. The team is also looking to decentralize the implementation and require Program Managers to be responsible for their own programs.

Action: Keith Kratzert to provide the final documents for the EVM changes to Malinda to process the AMS change proposal.
