What is standards work?

• OpsMan
• A Sponsor's PP shall be determined by AudCom to
  be visibly under development or accepted by
  AudCom before performance of any standards work
  (including, but not limited to PAR actions,
  Sponsor ballot actions, interpretations, etc.) by
  that Sponsor is authorized by the IEEE-SA
  Standards Board to commence.
• This should not prevent SCC14 from reviewing
  standards for RevCom
• Refer to ProCom as to if wording change required.

Meeting Fee Exemptions

• Many sponsors set fee in their PP
• Exemptions in PP

AudCom Baseline PP revision

• An ad hoc committee updated the baseline SCC Type
  2 model PP
• Including hierarchy and submitter text
• AudCom ballot before next meeting
• The goal is to develop a single common sponsor
  and SCC PP document.
• Expecting completion before next meeting.
• The ad hoc will continue chaired by Ron Petersen,
  with Howard Wolfman, Gary Robinson and Matt
  Ceglia.

12
Model PP for Working Groups

• Sponsor PP reviewed by AudCom often include WG
  PP
• Recommendation is to separate them out
• AudCom does not review these or provide a
  baseline -- but are arguably the most important
• AudCom created adhoc to develop a baseline WG PP
  document.
• AudCom may also suggest the required
  Bylaws/OpsMan changes.
