IEEE Standards Association Individual & Corporate Members IEEE-SA Board of Governors (Policy) Standards Board (Standards Process) Corporate Advisory Group (Corporate Program)
IEEE-SA Corporate Program Focuses on Global corporate standards adoption International partnerships Standards life cycle Openness and minimum barriers to full participation (resource, location, involvement, involvement equity) Corporate direction in establishing consistent policy and process Provides an environment where corporations come together to develop standards that Open markets Strengthen existing markets Enhance global competitiveness
Why Create Corporate Standards at the IEEE? Platform & protections create productive corporate standards environment 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation Proven policies and procedures Quick start-up No agreements among participants No infrastructure to form Well-defined rules and framework Transparent process Legal structure in place Clear intellectual property policy (RAND) Route to global standards Streamlined adoption of IEEE standards in ISO, IEC, ITU Joint copyright agreements Worldwide distribution
Value of IEEE-SA Corporate Program Helps industry accomplish business objectives Fosters company-based standardization Open, consensus process Levels playing field -- one company/one vote Multi-industry/multi-national participation Networking within IEEE-SA corporate constituency Leverages the unique technology base supported by the worldwide technical communities of the IEEE Provides a venue to nurture existing and emerging technologies Rapid path to global standardization Support structure available for completion in 18- to 24-month target timeframe
The IEEE-SA Individual Program A majority of the IEEE Standards portfolio developed in the individual program The historical backbone of IEEE Standards development Individuals participate under several traditional sponsorship methods A Technical Committee within an IEEE Society/Council A Standards Coordinating Committee established by the IEEE-SA Standards Board Encompasses multiple Societies Individuals are eligible for IEEE-SA membership Includes IEEE members of any grade, IEEE Society affiliates, or non-ieee members Participate and vote as individuals, not corporations
IEEE Standards Development Five principles guide standards development Ensuring integrity and wide acceptance for IEEE standards
IEEE-SA s Global Approach Economics and technology span borders Advance technology to benefit global society Cost-effective development High-quality results One standard, one test worldwide Partnering with the international community Create a standards development environment that brings together all constituents Deliver economically relevant global standards to the international community
IEEE-SA Global Strategy Maintain a strong global standards perspective in IEEE Leverage IEEE expertise, competence, track record, and processes to achieve global standards goals Provide a forum to develop market-relevant standards Recognize and promote Emerging technologies Standards life cycle requirements Regulatory harmonization Society betterment
