Having a voice in the development of our standards is one of the key benefits of RIXML membership. As we finalize the plans for v3.0 and move into the development phase, it is imperative that we hear from you. We are also looking for experts on certain topics to provide guidance in our decision-making. This article outlines the input we need. We hope all RIXML member firms will help us to shape the next version of our standards.
We need all RIXML member firms to add their voice to the development of the next version of the RIXML Standards. This is a major release, and we want to make sure your firm helps guide its development. Please read the list below and This email address is being protected from spambots.

Buyside firms:

Interaction specialists:
- Can you help us review the Interaction Standard to help us update it to v3.0? (We do have at least one person helping with this, but would like to add more.)
