4. RMC Meeting Problems and suggested improvements to the ICOP Scheme: There is still a “perception by some” in the JAPC that 3rd Party Certification is not as rigorous as 2 nd Party Audits. Propose/encourage Registrars to participate in JAPC audits of their clients. Propose JAPC develop Registrar metrics, set goals and share data with the RMC. Participate in the supplemental oversight process. Track changes to all JAPC suppliers in OASIS for changes in risk profile.

5. RMC Meeting Positive outcomes form including the registrars in JAPC audits is:  Demonstrate to the suppliers that the JAPC members supports a rigorous 3 rd party registration scheme.  Demonstrate to the registrars that the JAPC values there rigorous support of the 3 rd party scheme.  Provides both the supplier and the registrars insight into what the JAPC considers to be important in the suppliers QMS.  Provides an improved supply chain by ensuring more competent suppliers.
