Re: Invitation to Co-Sign Letter to IEEE Election Candidatesregarding ISTO




Roger-

I think some of your text needs a little tweaking, to wit:
==============
According to the IEEE Policy and Procedures Manual (8.1.1), the IEEE shall 
"Develop draft standards and standards-related documents within the IEEE 
Societies and Technical Councils and the Standards Committees of the 
IEEE-SA Standards Board. Because of the importance of such documents in 
trade and commerce, these activities shall be conducted in accordance with 
rules and procedures of the IEEE Standards Association as published in its 
bylaws and operations manuals and the bylaws and operations manuals of its 
subsidiary boards and committees." By operating outside of the processes 
established by IEEE and the IEEE Standards Association, does ISTO violate 
this Procedure?
=============
needs a clarifying change.

I would change the question to:

By operating outside of the processes established by IEEE and the IEEE 
Standards Association
for specifications which it associates with the term "standard",
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-inserted text-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
does ISTO violate this Procedure?

With this change, I will be delighted to sign your letter and add 
supporting comments.
