Thank you for your attention, and for your willingness to serve as an IEEE Standards Officer. IEEE SA appreciates your efforts in conducting IEEE standards development activities, and in helping IEEE advance technology for the benefit of humanity through standards.
We would like to remind you of some requirements for your IEEE SA role(s). In order to remain an IEEE SA Standards Committee or Working Group officer ("IEEE Standards Officer"), IEEE SA policies and procedures require that officers have IEEE and IEEE SA membership, and complete the Understanding IEEE SA's Antitrust, Competition, and Commercial Terms Policies course. IEEE SA Standards Committee and Working Group officers have the responsibility to ensure that they meet these requirements.
An audit of IEEE Standards Officers will be conducted. This reminder is to help ensure that your requirements have been met.
1) IEEE and IEEE SA membership
See Subclause 5.2.1 of the IEEE SA Standards Board Bylaws
5.2 Standards-development process
5.2.1 Participation in IEEE standards development
Standards Committee Chairs, Vice Chairs, Secretaries, Treasurers, and liaison representatives shall be members of IEEE-SA and shall also be either IEEE members of any grade, except Student grade, or IEEE affiliates.
5.2.1.1 Membership requirements for standards developed under the individual method
Officers of IEEE standards working groups developing standards under the individual method shall be members of IEEE-SA and shall also be either IEEE members of any grade, except Student grade, or IEEE affiliates. Designees (those designated to manage the Standards Association ballot) in the IEEE Standards Association individual ballot process shall be members of IEEE-SA and shall also be either IEEE members of any grade, except Student grade, or IEEE affiliates.
2) Completion of the Understanding IEEE SA's Antitrust, Competition, and Commercial Terms Policies course
See subclauses 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.1 of the IEEE SA Standards Board Operations Manual
5.1.1 Responsibilities of the Standards Committee
The Standards Committee shall be responsible for the development and coordination of the standards project, and for supervising the standards project from inception to completion. The Standards Committee also shall be responsible for the maintenance of standards after their approval by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. As part of this responsibility, each Standards Committee shall operate in accordance with a written set of policies and procedures (P & P) that have been accepted by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. Such P & P shall not be in conflict with the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual. Standards Committees should note that there are model operating procedures (e.g., individual, entity, etc.) available for use by the Standards Committee. All Standards Committee Officers shall successfully complete all training as required by the IEEE-SA Standards Board for Standards Committee Officers or as assigned.
