Rigorous Standards Process

Consensus

Due Process

Openness

Right of Appeal

Balance

The widely respected IEEE-SA standards-development process, which adheres to the WTO/TBT Principles, produces results that reflect the collective consensus view of participants and enable industry to achieve specific objectives and solutions.


Two Types of Standards Development

Individual method

• Participants are “individuals”: i.e., people

• Individuals represent themselves

• Each individual participant has one vote

• Ballot groups are made up of a minimum of 10 individuals

• Ballot group participants must be IEEE-SA individual members

Entity (Corporate) method

• Participants are “entities,” i.e., companies, universities, government bodies, etc.

• Designated representative and alternate represent the entity

• Each entity has one vote

• Standards project initiation requires 3 entities to commit to membership and payment of appropriate dues

• Entity sends representatives to participate in standards development meetings


IEEE-SA Corporate Program

What is it and what does it do?

– Allows entities to be involved in the SA as members • Industry, academia, government, non-profits,

organizations

• Broad-based and diverse global membership

– Gives industry a direct voice in IEEE Standards Association key programs • Ensures your business interests are heard and

represented

• Through standards development

• Through governance (IEEE-SA Corporate Advisory Group)

IEEE-SA Corporate Program How can industry benefit from the corporate

program?

– Influence technology development

• Incubate new technologies, standards and related services in a rapidly changing environment

• Shape the direction of technology and its market place applications

– Drive the development of corporate standards to stay competitive

• Gain advanced knowledge by engaging in corporate standards projects

– Network with global thought leaders

– Other benefits

• Unlimited balloting on IEEE corporate standards

• Complimentary individual IEEE-SA memberships

• Discounts on all IEEE standards

• Access to consensus incubation activities like Industry Connections

• Global exposure through identification on IEEE-SA website

– See http://standards.ieee.org/develop/corpchan/general.html


http://standards.ieee.org/develop/corpchan/general.html

Industry Connections (IC)

What is it and what does it do?

– Efficient, economical environment for building consensus

– Produces "fast-track" materials, such as proposals for standards, white papers, peer-reviewed specifications, guides, position papers and other specialized tools

– Incubate new standards and related services

– Hone and refine thinking on rapidly changing technologies

– Can bridge the gap between standards development and market adoption

– See standards.ieee.org/industryconnections

What are the benefits of the Industry Connections program?

– Minimal overhead time & expense to begin collaborative work

– Flexibility to decide best/preferred path(s) forward and outcomes

About ICAP

Understanding ICAP IEEE Conformity Assessment

Program (ICAP) provides venue for testing & conformity assessment programs

Certification Authority focused on full testing spectrum for IEEE-related standards

NOT a TEST LAB… ICAP strategically aligns with expert test labs to provide the best level of conformance & certification support

Global services Turnkey Certification Management

Trademark & Registry Authority

Test Suite & Specification Developer

Benchmarking & Performance Testing Support

Conformity Alliance Support

Self-Validation Suites

About ICAPEncompasses all aspects of Conformity Assessment – Self Declaration, 3rd Party Assessment/Testing, Interoperability

(via events or plugfests, etc.)


IEEE Standards Education

Recognizes the importance of standards in meeting technical, economic, environmental, and societal challenges

Knowledge of standards can help facilitate the transition from classroom to professional practice by aligning educational concepts with real-world applications

IEEE Standards Education Portal

– http://www.standardseducation.org

– Focal point for delivery of information on education about standards, with free content

• Case studies and tutorials

• Student application paper information

• Glossary of standards terms and acronyms

• Information on continuing education at conferences


http://www.standardseducation.org/

IEEE Standards Development: How to start

• Any individual or company with a technical idea may start a project

Determine need for project

• Referred to as a “Sponsor”

• Sponsor does not have a financial role

• Sponsor provides guidance and support

Referred to as a

Find a technical

group within IEEE to

“sponsor” the project

• Develop scope and purpose of the project

Submit a Project Authorization Request (PAR)

form for approval by New Standards

Committee (NesCom)

IEEE-SA Patent Policy and Activities

IEEE-SA’s patent policy is consistent with patent policies of ISO, IEC, and ITU and most other SDOs

Designed to balance

– Needs of those implementing a standard

– Rights of intellectual property owners of technology necessary to implement that standard

IEEE-SA’s patent policy contributes to

– Transparency earlier in process

– Confidence in commitments

– Global applicability

Patent-related activities with other organizations, including

– Memorandum of Understanding with European Patent Office (EPO)

– Ongoing discussions with other patent organizations

– Speaker at European Commission events in 2010 & 2011
