SUMMARY: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is in the process of 
developing a new Vehicular Digital Multimedia Evidence Recording System 
Standard and corresponding certification program requirements. This 
work is being performed by a Special Technical Committee (STC), 
comprised of practitioners from the field, researchers, testing 
experts, certification experts, and representatives from stakeholder 
organizations. The STC members will participate in four 2-day meetings 
over a 7-month time period with the goal of completing development of 
the standard and certification program requirements. It is anticipated 
that STC meetings will begin in November 2009. Travel expenses and per

time will not be funded.
    NIJ is seeking certification bodies with experience in programs for 
similar types of electronic equipment. Additional preferred knowledge

enforcement operations. There are two positions to be filled on the 
STC, and NIJ will accept the first 10 submissions for review.
    Interested parties are requested to nominate individuals from their 
organizations and submit no more than two pages describing the 
nominee's applicable experience, preferred knowledge, and affiliations 
with standards development organizations. This information shall be

2009. The submissions will be reviewed, and participants will be 
notified regarding their acceptance by October 30, 2009.
