6 IEEE Board of Directors Standards Association Publication Activities Member & Geographic Activities IEEE-USA How IEEE-SA fits within IEEE Technical Activities Educational Activities 6

7 IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) - Globally recognized standards - Over 900 active standards standards in development - More than 20,000 developers of standards worldwide - Over 7,000 individual members - Over 200 corporate members - IEEE-SA enables collaboration on technology solutions, providing a platform for innovation - Internationally recognized standards development organization driving standards from incubation to market adoption 7

8 Addressing Challenges in an Evolving International Standards Paradigm - The standards mission: - Meet social and political needs of regions and countries - Foster global economic growth - Traditional model of international standards - Country/region centric - Newer complementary model - Market driven and borderless 8

9 IEEE Standards Are Pervasive Addresses a broad spectrum of technologies Aerospace Electronics Broadband Over Power Lines Broadcast Technology Clean Technology Cognitive Radio Design Automation Electromagnetic Compatibility Green Technology LAN/MAN Medical Device Communications Nanotechnology National Electrical Safety Code Organic Components Portable Battery Technology Power Electronics Power & Energy Radiation/Nuclear Reliability Transportation Technology Test Technology 9

10 IEEE SA Members (December 2011) 5,625 Individual 101 Corporate 708 Individual 35 Corporate 60 Individual 8 Corporate 786 Individual 57 Corporate 130 Individual 0 Corporate 73 Individual 2 Corporate 10

11 Strong International Collaboration Asia Europe Middle East/ North Africa South Africa 11

12 Rigorous Standards Process Consensus Due Process Openness Right of Appeal The widely respected IEEE- SA standards-development process, which adheres to the WTO/TBT Principles, produces results that reflect the collective consensus view of participants and enable industry to achieve specific objectives and solutions. Balance 12

13 Two Types of Standards Development Individual method Participants are individuals : i.e., people Individuals represent themselves Each individual participant has one vote Ballot groups are made up of a minimum of 10 individuals Ballot group participants must be IEEE-SA individual members Entity (Corporate) method Participants are entities, i.e., companies, universities, government bodies, etc. Designated representative and alternate represent the entity Each entity has one vote Standards project initiation requires 3 entities to commit to membership and payment of appropriate dues Entity sends representatives to participate in standards development meetings 13

14 IEEE-SA Corporate Program What is it and what does it do? Allows entities to be involved in the SA as members Industry, academia, government, non-profits, organizations Broad-based and diverse global membership Gives industry a direct voice in IEEE Standards Association key programs Ensures your business interests are heard and represented Through standards development Through governance (IEEE-SA Corporate Advisory Group) 14

15 Corporate Program CAG Leadership Membership Company Title Mentor Graphic Corporation Broadcom Corporation AT&T Services, Inc. Director, Strategic Business Development Senior Technical Director, Office of the CTO Lead Member Technical Staff, Strategic Standards Synopsys, Inc. Lockheed Martin Corporation Director, Standards and Interoperability Corporate Director of Electronics Engineering & Packaging Sony Vice President, Technology Standards Office Qualcomm Senior Vice President, Development Microsoft State Grid Corporation of China SanDisk Corporation Senior Standards Strategist Vice President Director, Standardization and Industry Associations STMicroelectronics Director, Market Development 15

16 IEEE-SA Corporate Program How can industry benefit from the corporate program? Influence technology development Incubate new technologies, standards and related services in a rapidly changing environment Shape the direction of technology and its market place applications Drive the development of corporate standards to stay competitive Gain advanced knowledge by engaging in corporate standards projects Network with global thought leaders Other benefits Unlimited balloting on IEEE corporate standards Complimentary individual IEEE-SA memberships Discounts on all IEEE standards Access to consensus incubation activities like Industry Connections Global exposure through identification on IEEE-SA website See 16

17 Industry Connections (IC) What is it and what does it do? Efficient, economical environment for building consensus Produces "fast-track" materials, such as proposals for standards, white papers, peer-reviewed specifications, guides, position papers and other specialized tools Incubate new standards and related services Hone and refine thinking on rapidly changing technologies Can bridge the gap between standards development and market adoption See standards.ieee.org/industryconnections What are the benefits of the Industry Connections program? Minimal overhead time & expense to begin collaborative work Flexibility to decide best/preferred path(s) forward and outcomes 17

18 About ICAP Encompasses all aspects of Conformity Assessment Self Declaration, 3 rd Party Assessment/Testing, Interoperability (via events or plugfests, etc.) Understanding ICAP IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) provides venue for testing & conformity assessment programs Certification Authority focused on full testing spectrum for IEEE-related standards NOT a TEST LAB ICAP strategically aligns with expert test labs to provide the best level of conformance & certification support Global services Turnkey Certification Management Trademark & Registry Authority Test Suite & Specification Developer Benchmarking & Performance Testing Support Conformity Alliance Support Self-Validation Suites 18

19 IEEE Standards Education Recognizes the importance of standards in meeting technical, economic, environmental, and societal challenges Knowledge of standards can help facilitate the transition from classroom to professional practice by aligning educational concepts with real-world applications IEEE Standards Education Portal Focal point for delivery of information on education about standards, with free content Case studies and tutorials Student application paper information Glossary of standards terms and acronyms Information on continuing education at conferences 19

20 IEEE Standards Development: How to start Any individual or company with a technical idea may start a project Determine need for project Find a technical group within IEEE to sponsor the project Referred to as a Sponsor Sponsor does not have a financial role Sponsor provides guidance and support Develop scope and purpose of the project Submit a Project Authorization Request (PAR) form for approval by New Standards Committee (NesCom) 20

21 IEEE Standards Development Process Idea! Maximum of 4 years Project approval Develop draft standard Sponsor ballot Standards Board approval Publish standard Revise or withdraw standard Maximum of 5 years 21

22 IEEE-SA Patent Policy and Activities IEEE-SA s patent policy is consistent with patent policies of ISO, IEC, and ITU and most other SDOs Designed to balance Needs of those implementing a standard Rights of intellectual property owners of technology necessary to implement that standard IEEE-SA s patent policy contributes to Transparency earlier in process Confidence in commitments Global applicability Patent-related activities with other organizations, including Memorandum of Understanding with European Patent Office (EPO) Ongoing discussions with other patent organizations Speaker at European Commission events in 2010 &
