* Ted Klein presented on strategy for updating Control Specialist exam to V2.8
 
* will look at the  statistics on the performance of the questions on the 2.7 exam and look at the non-performing questions and fix these ones
 
* Questions from Ted:
 
** update to V2.8, v2.8.1 or v2.8.2 -
 
*** 2.8.1 has been balloted as normative
 
*** will update to V2.8 - will avoid changes specific to 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 - Education WG agrees with this approach
 
*** need to determine if in the future we want to want to certify to major releases or minor releases.
 
** Approach for updating the test
 
*** 6 questions identified that could be added to the test (means 6 questions would be removed)
 
*** 2 things to change/update
 
*** 2 items to verify in existing questions
 
*** update questions with incorrect answer rates > 66% and < 5%
 
*** it was suggested that Ted is much more familiar with the exam and the standard and that if he believes these need to be changed, then do so
 
*** it was suggested that the changes be vetted with Hans, Tony and Patrick
 
*** suggested that the exam be reviewed with Sharon
 
** Total number of changes will be between 25-30 questions
 
** draft of changes to be done by the end of December 2014
 
** asked Ted to provide status in the New Year
