The text of the changes made to these documents (approved by SASB in 2009) can
be found at:
http://standards.ieee.org/board/pro/2009changes.pdf
Please read through these changes so that you are familiar with the current
P&P.
Change 1 - Sets the expectation for the behavior of standards participants. It
is anticipated that the Obligations signoff page [one time per participant]
will be incorporated into myProject by 31 March 2010. [Please see item 4.3 at http://standards.ieee.org/board/pro/1209promin.html for additional
information.]
Change 2 - Removal of SCC10 as a mandatory coordination body, as SCC10 was
disbanded at the end of 2008.
Change 3 - Editorial cleanup of material that should have been deleted in 2006.
Change 4 - Changes timing for submission of copyright permissions from 'prior
to ballot invitation' to 'prior to start of the initial ballot'.
Change 5 - IEEE-SA Copyright Policy. This policy will be incorporated into the
SASB Bylaws and SASB Operations Manual on 31 March 2010. A copyright policy FAQ
has been developed and will be published to our FAQ area (see http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/index.html) soon.
Change 6 - States that if a reaffirmation balloting process does not
include all necessary components [base standard, amendments, corrigenda,
errata], it will be necessary to conduct a recirculation ballot to present that
information to the ballot group.
Change 7 - Key documentation [draft standards, meeting minutes, Sponsor ballot
materials, Sponsor ballot comments] for the IEEE-SA standards process shall be
in the English language.
Change 8 - For the entity standards development process, an entity has the
right to send whomever it deems appropriate to participate in an IEEE-SA entity
working group meeting, without any judgment of their particular technical
expertise.
Change 9 - Reorganization of the standards balloting process sections of the
SASB Operations Manual.
Change 10 - For the entity standards development process, every entity
observing a project within an IEEE-SA entity standards working group is
required to be an Entity Member of the IEEE-SA, and only Advanced Entity
Members can contribute and hold voting privileges. Entity nonmembers may
observe at one IEEE-SA entity standards working group meeting per project.
[This change also removes the per project participation fee.]
Change 11 - Clarifies that the 'balloting groups should have at least 10
members' applies to the individual standards development process.
If you have any questions, please contact me. [Please do not reply to all
unless you want all to view your comments. Thank you.]
