[802SEC] SA rejected 802's Application for IEEE-SA Corporate Membership

Dear EC Members,
 
Below is the rejection response to 802's application for entity membership.  I will be in Piscataway at SASB meetings today and tomorrow to further discuss this with our 802 colleagues, along with staff and SA volunteers. 
 
We need to figure out what our next steps should be. 
 
Regards,
 
--Paul

Subject: Your Application for IEEE-SA Corporate Membership


Hello Mr. Nikolich,

Thank you for your response to my question.

My understanding of the IEEE 802 EC is that it is a committee of the 802 LMSC, which reports into a series of board structures.
The IEEE 802 EC is not an independent board and 802 is not an independent entity.

Here is my understanding, again, of 802 LMSC's reporting structure:
  • IEEE 802 LMSC to;
  • IEEE Computer Society Standards Activities Board to;
  • IEEE Computer Society to;
  • IEEE-SA Standards Board (for standards) to;
  • IEEE-SA Board of Governors to;
  • IEEE Board of Directors.

Because IEEE 802 EC is not an independent board and 802 is not an independent entity, the IEEE-SA is rejecting your application for IEEE-SA Corporate Membership.

Please see Section 5.2.1.2.1 Control of our bylaws (http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/bylaws/sect5.html) - -

For the purpose of IEEE entity standards development, the term "control" (and its linguistic derivatives, e.g., "controlling," "controlled") means:

  • With respect to for-profit entities: the legal, beneficial, or equitable ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent of the capital stock (or other ownership interest, if the entity does not own capital stock) of the entity; or the power to elect or appoint more than fifty percent of the governing body (e.g., the Board of Directors) of the entity.
  • With respect to not-for-profit entities: the power to elect or appoint more than fifty percent of the governing body (e.g., the Board of Directors) of the entity.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,
Patti
