This requirement includes training on new changes to ISO Directives, processes and procedures that are introduced each year.

In May 2016, a new version of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO Supplement was issued that incorporated a number of changes to how ISO committees conduct their work. These changes are detailed on the slides that follow in this ANSI training course.
