11) There are no new issues or requests for the NFPA Research Foundation at this time.

12) The panel has no requests for information or assistance from the NEC Correlating Committee at this time.

13) Provide any additional information that you feel would be helpful to the NEC Correlating Committee, staff, or to the process in general: CMP 18 was made aware that the CC had assigned a task group to review and recommend global actions related to adding the words “and labeled” wherever “listed” is used. The panel took a straw poll to determine the opinion of the panel on this issue. The informal vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the action, with only one negative opinion. This information can be passed to the task group. Additionally, CMP 18 recommends that if the direction from the task group is to make the global change, a change must be made to the definitions of both terms, including associated informational notes.
