  • Vendor Participation Policy (posted March 26, 2018 – used for IL-TRM Version 8.0 update process): A conflict of interest is present when a Product Representative, in the judgment of the IL-TRM Administrator, has a financial stake in a discussion topic and participation by the Product Representative could have adverse consequences, such as hindering complete and frank discussions. To prevent conflicts of interest, financially-interested Product Representatives will not participate in the IL-TRM Version 8.0 measure selection, IL-TRM Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings or the consensus process, unless invited to participate in the IL-TRM TAC of the SAG by the IL-TRM Administrator.  The IL-TRM Administrator will honor reasonable requests from utilities to invite Product Representatives to present factual information or to answer questions on a specific measure under discussion for inclusion in the annual TRM update.
    • “Product Representatives” means a financially-interested party or parties that works for or on behalf of a company that sells a product that is or may be included as a measure in the IL-TRM.
