9. CSTF Report - The Process • Open standards process - clearly defined & posted • Well-defined criteria for prioritizing new stds work • Clear definition & scope of work from IACC to SC • Requirements written first by subcommittee (SC) • Clearly defined appeals process • Standing & working documents posted to website

10. CSTF Report - The Organization • Target char. identified, alternatives considered • New IACC proposed = Int’l Airlines Cabin Committee - reports to Arinc Board of Directors • Equivalent level as AEEC • Led & controlled by airlines (ultimate beneficiaries) • IACC members = Airline reps involved in and knowledgeable about cabin systems

11. CSTF Report - The Funding • 80% Airline-funded by fee based on # pax seats • 20% supplier funded via charges for documents • Airlines are ultimate beneficiary of cabin stds • Airlines will lead and control the IACC, so should provide bulk of funding • Suppliers invest to attend meetings, develop technical contributions, provide expertise

12. CSTF Report - Funding Example • IACC expected cost = $1M/yr • CSSC = Cabin System Service Charge = 0.95 * (.25*NBSeats + 1.0*WBSeats) • Example #1: A/L w/200 WB & 400 NB, and if NB has 120 seats & WB has 300 seats ave., then CSSC = 0.95 (.25*48K + 60K) = $68K/yr • Example #2: A/L w/10 NB and 10 WB, then CSSC = 0.95 (.25*1.2K + 3K) = $3,135/yr
