status, and health of the Smart Grid implementation by the Smart Grid 
industry, and on the direction of Smart Grid research and standards 
activities. Background information on the Committee is available at 
http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/.
    The primary purposes of this meeting are to provide updates on the 
subcommittees' activities and stakeholder engagement for the NIST 
Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards,
