All,
The current version of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws is available at: http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/index.html (HTML version) http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf (PDF version)
The current version of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual is available at: http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/index.html (HTML version) http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sb-om.pdf (PDF version)
The text of the changes made to these documents (approved July - December 2006) can be found at: http://standards.ieee.org/board/pro/2006changes.pdf
Please read through these changes so that you are familiar with the current P&P.
Change 1 - Notes that the web-based PAR Form now contains instructions within the web process. Thus, the separate Working Guide is no longer necessary.
Change 2 - Codifies the L50-S annual financial reporting requirement for Sponsors.
Change 3 - Updates requirements for balloting of amendments/corrigenda. Balloters must be given access to the base standard and all approved amendments/corrigenda for complete information.
Change 4 - Codifies the existing policy regarding the power of the NesCom Administrator as the sole authority in assigning project numbers.
Change 5 - States that AudCom shall develop baseline P&P and that such will be used when it conducts its audits. In addition, it states that a Sponsor must have accepted P&P or P&P that are visibly under development before that Sponsor will be authorized to conduct ANY standards work.
Change 6 - See Change 2. States that failure to submit the annual financial report will result in action from the Standards Board. {Also some clean-up based on direction from IEEE Operations Audit and Accounting.}
Change 7 - see Change 5. States that the accepted Sponsor P&P posted to the AudCom web site is the only official version of that Sponsor's P&P.
Change 8 - Disclosure of Affiliation {Operations Manual sections}.
Change 9 - Adds Sponsor responsibility to monitor its committees for signs of dominance.
Change 10 - Dominance and Disclosure of Affiliation {Bylaws sections}.
Change 11 - States that the Scope and Purpose of the draft document submitted to RevCom (i.e., the last balloted draft) shall match the Scope and Purpose stated in the PAR.
Change 12 - See Changes 5 and 7. Clarifies that 'visibly under development' is determined by AudCom.
Change 13 - Changes related to Compliance with Laws; Prohibited Discussion Topics; Discussion of Relative Costs. This change has not yet been included in the online versions of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual. This change is due to be implemented, along with Changes 14-15, in May 2007 to allow time for guideline documents to be created.
Change 14 - Re-write of the patent policy {Bylaws sections}. Please note that this change does not contain mark-ups. It is basically a total re-write. This change has not yet been included in the online versions of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws. This change is due to be implemented, along with Changes 13 and 15, in May 2007 to allow time for guideline documents to be created. [Note: The IEEE-SA is also awaiting a response from the DOJ to a Business Review Letter sent in late November.] The current version of the patent policy {Bylaws} is located at http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sect6-7.html#6
Change 15 - Re-write of the patent policy {Operations Manual sections}. Please note that this change does not contain mark-ups. It is basically a total re-write. This change has not yet been included in the online versions of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual. This change is due to be implemented, along with Changes 13 and 14, in May 2007 to allow time for guideline documents to be created. [Note: The IEEE-SA is also awaiting a response from the DOJ to a Business Review Letter sent in late November.] The current version of the patent policy {Operations Manual} is located at http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect6.html#6.3
