    (a) The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and the 
Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) jointly shall 
establish the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment and shall 
sponsor the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments for four 
years from the effective date of these rules. The division of duties by 
which this responsibility is executed may be a matter of agreement 
between these two parties; however, both are jointly and severally 
responsible for observing these rule provisions. After four years from 
the effective date of these rules, and thereafter on a quadrennial 
basis, the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments may vote by 
simple majority to be sponsored by any ANSI-accredited organization.
    (b) The sponsoring organizations shall ensure that the 
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments is populated in a manner 
consistent with the criteria of American National Standards Institute's 
Organization Method or the Standards Committee Method (and their 
successor Method or Methods as ANSI may from time to time establish) for 
a balanced and open membership.
    (c) After the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments is 
populated, the sponsors are responsible for fulfilling secretariat 
positions as determined by the Administrative Council for Terminal 
Attachments. The Administrative Council shall post on a publicly 
available web site and make available to the public in hard copy form 
the written agreement into which it enters with the sponsor or sponsors.
