    Each Position Statement carries a three-year sunset date. The AIA Board of Directors (Board) is now in the process of conducting a comprehensive sunset review of current Position Statements as mandated under section 9.336 of the Rules of the Board.

    Twenty-four (24) Position Statements now at the end of the current three year cycle have been identified for further review.

    The 2011 comment period is open from August 15th - October 15th.  They may be submitted to the AIA through the following link:
