IEEE Standards Association

• An international membership organization serving
  today's industries with a complete portfolio of
  standards programs. Open to any IEEE member.
  Very formal operating process with complex
  bylaws.
• http//www.standards.ieee.org/
• Types of standards publications
• Standards documents with mandatory requirements.
• Recommended practices documents in which
  procedures and positions preferred by the IEEE
  are presented.
• Guides documents in which alternative approaches
  to good practice are suggested but no clear-cut
  recommendations are made.
• Trial-Use documents publications that are
  effective for not more than two years. They can
  be any of the categories of standards
  publications listed above.
• Standards Catalog

IEEE Standards Association

• Working Groups
• Initiated as informal study groups, special
  interest groups
• Any IEEE Member can attend or join a group
• All efforts are contributed through the support
  of the individuals employeer
• Must be formally approved by IEEE-SA through a
  Project Authorization Request (PAR)
