    Master The NEC | Episode 25 | First Thoughts of some of the NITMAMS In this episode, Paul talks about some of the 2026 NITMAM (CAMS) that took place in Vegas.

    Remember, Successful amending motions must then be confirmed by the responsible Technical Committee by ballot. My podcast is about the outcome of the NITMAM only, not the final vote by the various CMP's who will disregard the will of the membership and fail the CAMS resulting in reversion to the second draft language.
