ASTM International (www.astm.org) Committee F32 on Search and
Rescue is now writing a minimum standard for training mounted
(horseback) SAR responders.  Anyone interested in observing
or participating in this work is invited to subscribe to the
electronic mailing list discussion group MSAR-ASTM.

Subscription to MSAR-ASTM is free, and includes access to a
threaded web archive of the list's complete traffic, including
drafts of the standard and all discussions.  Subscribers may
choose to receive all or no list traffic.  To subscribe, visit
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/msar-astm or e-mail
the list administrator (msar@ibiblio.org).

The minimum standard now is in balloting (ie, is being voted
on) by members of ASTM Committee F32.02 on Management and
Operations.  Once balloting closes, discussion will resume
on MSAR-ASTM.

Please consider participating in this work, especially those
of you who are based outside the USA or have SAR experience
outside the USA.  You can help to ensure that the resulting
standard is truly international.
