Support Future Code Hearings by Serving as a Code Development Moderator

The International Code Council is seeking code development experts interested in serving as unbiased moderators of the code development hearings.

Code Council moderators serve a critical role in the execution of the International Codes® (I-Codes) hearings. The committee action hearings (CAHs) and public comment hearings (PCH) are a part of the industry-leading code development procedures that set the standard for an open and transparent process, allowing any interested parties to participate.

This facilitates a broad spectrum of ideas, expertise and input enabling the I-Codes to be the best model codes available to support the built environment, impacting nearly 2 billion people globally.

• Moderators are appointed by the Code Council President (President of the Board of Directors) and act as presiding officers for the public code hearings in accordance with CP-28.
• Moderators are respected members of the code development community and have subject matter expertise in the Code Council’s code development procedures and the I-Codes.
• The moderators facilitate decorum during the code hearings and facilitate the successful progression of the proceedings in accordance with CP-28 and Robert’s Rules of Order.
• Moderators serve as a critical extension of the Technical Service Team in the successful execution of the code development hearings.
• Moderators cannot serve on code development committees during the same code cycle.
• Moderators have significant experience serving/participating in code development hearings.
• Moderators must demonstrate an unbiased approach in hearings.

The Code Council’s Technical Services Team will select potential moderators from the applicants. The selectees will be placed in the moderator training program to be developed as moderators supporting future code hearings.

Individuals who have successfully served previously as Code Council code development hearing moderators do not need to reapply.

Individuals interested can apply on the Committee Application site.
