About the Committee
From time to time, CSRC needs volunteers. CSRC maintains a list of SPE members interested in volunteering that CSRC subcommittee chairs use to recruit new members. Please submit the application if you are interested in adding your name and credentials to the CSRC volunteer list. Once you have successfully been nominated, you will receive an automated email acknowledging that CSRC has your name. You will not receive any other email unless a subcommittee chair contacts you directly. CSRC will keep your name on the volunteer list. Thank you for your interest in volunteering for CSRC!

- Cooperates with SPE committees (e.g., the OGRC and CCUS TS) and external organizations in the development and delivery of relevant initiatives
- Liaises with other organizations in efforts to achieve worldwide use of SRMS
- Monitors SRMS activities of other organizations and reports to the SPE Board on these matters
- Provides periodic reports to the SPE Board and Technical Committee on SRMS issues
Review of SRMS and SRMS Guidelines
The CSRC will ensure that the SRMS and supplemental materials are current and represent industry-recommended practices. The frequency of revisions will need to balance their efficacy, the need for stakeholders to have stability in their application, and the degree of effort required to update and communicate changes. The situation must be avoided where continual updates to the documents results in too frequent restating or re-classifying of resources. The definitions included in the SRMS represent a set of values or principles that should not be readily changed. Nevertheless, the committee should conduct a review every five years.
