Colleagues-
As usual, I am not allowed to vote on this.
I am uncomfortable with this though as being overly commercial.
I think this activity dances on the line.
This is a commercial promotion for a profit making operation within the
IEEE.
We have had numerous other books written by standards luminaries
specifically and equally focused about other standards. They have often
been published by others than the IEEE. I would find it difficult to
deny them equal opportunity to promote an equal (or better) product that
was focused on one of our efforts.
I don't think this is a clear call but I would rather we avoid the line
than dance over it.
Best regards,
Geoff
