SECMP0022 Expanding SMKI PMA membership and removing Alternate restrictions

This Modification Proposal seeks to alter the current Smart Metering Key Infrastructure Policy Management Authority (SMKI PMA) membership in order to take account of its operational responsibilities, and to mitigate against the risk that a meeting is not quorate. This Modification Proposal also seeks to remove the restriction on SMKI PMA Members which prohibits each SMKI PMA Member from nominating an Alternate from the same organisation that employs them.

SECMP0022 proposes updating the SMKI PMA’s membership structure to add 1 Large Supplier seat, 1 Network seat (so as to have both an Electricity and Gas Members) and 1 SMKI PMA Specialist who would become a voting Member.
Finally, the appointment of SMKI PMA Alternates would be brought in line with that of the other SEC Panel Sub-Committees and allow for SMKI PMA Alternates to be employees of the same organisation as the SMKI PMA Member who appointed them.

This Modification will have no impact on parties.
