many fields of interest
– Many groups seek & obtain IEEE
representation for specific purposes
– To enable IEEE to “speak with one voice”
IEEE Board of Directors empowered SA
to develop and approve a suitable policy
57

Definition of affiliation
71
– “An individual is deemed “affiliated” with
any individual or entity that has been, or
will be, financially or materially
supporting that individual’s participation
in a particular standards activity. This
includes, but is not limited to, his or her
employer and any individual or entity
that has or will have,either directly or
indirectly, requested, paid for, or
otherwise sponsored his or her
participation.”
SCC18 & IEEE-External
Representatives
Why the emphasis
– IEEE standards development is based on
the principles of openness and balance
What about a consultant
– The definition states it is the person or
entity that is financially or materially
supporting your participation
