The IEEE 802.15 WG (Working Group) develops Personal Area Network standards for short distance wireless networks; a.k.a. WPANs. We have a growing Membership. The following will tell you how to become a Working Group Member too.

IEEE 802.15 Requirements for Working Group Voting Membership

Becoming a member of the LAN/MAN 802.15 & LMSC Sponsor Ballot Pools

If you wish to vote on 802.15 (or other 802) draft standards at the Sponsor Ballot stage (the 2nd voting level after they have passed Working Group Ballot) you need to become a member of the LMSC Sponsor Ballot Pool. To be a voting member in the LMSC Sponsor Ballot Pool you must:-

Be a member of the IEEE Standards Association. Only IEEE Standards Association members are eligible balloters on IEEE proposed standards. Balloting groups are composed of members (voters) and non members (non-voters).
Complete the LAM/MAN 802.15 Ballot Pool Form which you need to fill out and submit to become a member of the 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Networks Balloting Pool.
Complete and submit the online IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee Balloting Pool form.

After you have completed this, whenever a balloting group is formed to ballot on a proposed IEEE 802 standard you will be asked if you wish to be in that particular balloting group.
