I. Abstract

    The Community Resilience Panel for Buildings and Infrastructure 
Systems (Panel) is an organization that will engage a diverse group of 
stakeholders around goals and actions needed to achieve community 
resilience and to derive benefits from improved buildings and 
infrastructure.
    The mission of the Panel is to promote collaboration among 
stakeholders who strive to strengthen

[[Page 45508]]

the resilience of buildings, infrastructure, and social systems upon 
which communities rely. The Panel will consider the adequacy of 
standards, guidelines, best practices, and recommend, develop, and work 
with others to make improvements in community resilience.
    The Panel will provide an open process for stakeholders to 
participate in the ongoing development, coordination and harmonization 
of community resilience guidance. The Panel will also evaluate existing 
metrics and standards to determine where improvements can be made to 
enhance resilience. Members will review case studies, recommend 
practices, coordinate, accelerate, and propose action plans for 
achieving community resilience goals.
    The Panel will be managed and guided by the Community Resilience 
Panel Coordinating Committee (CRPCC) that approves and prioritizes work 
and arranges for the resources necessary to carry out its planned 
activities. The CRPCC's responsibilities include facilitating dialogue 
with standards development organizations and communities to ensure that 
proposed plans will be implemented.
    A NIST contractor will serve as the Panel Administrator to review 
Panel documents and products approved by the CRPCC, add their own 
technical expertise to these deliverables prior to review by NIST, 
report on progress by managing the Panel's activities and ensure that 
all Panel work products are publicly available in the online Resilience 
Knowledge Base.
    The Panel and CRPCC will constitute an open organization dedicated 
to balancing the needs of a variety of resilience related 
organizations. Any organization may become a member of the Panel. 
Members are required to declare an affiliation with an identified 
Stakeholder Category. Stakeholder members may contribute multiple 
Member Representatives, but only one voting Member Representative. 
Members must participate regularly in order to vote on the work 
products of the Panel.
    The Panel membership form asks the applicant to provide his/her 
name, title, address, telephone, email address, organization, 
education, relevant work experience, standards developing experience, 
professional associations, stakeholder and standing committee areas of 
interest, as well as other relevant experience and areas of interest. 
The information provided by the applicants will be used to organize the 
Panel and select leaders who will use their expertise and experience in 
a consensus process that will achieve the goals and actions set forth 
in the Panel Charter and ByLaws.
    The Panel is established under a contract to support NIST in its 
role under the NIST authorities set forth in 15 U.S.C. 272(b)(10), 
(c)(12) and (c)(15) and to fulfill NIST's responsibilities described in 
the President's Climate Action Plan of 2013. The Panel will identify, 
describe, and prioritize guidance for comprehensive community 
resilience planning across the United States,
