IEEE Corporate Advisory GroupMarch 17, 2006
Motion

• The IEEE-SA CAG is committed to supporting the
  coordinated standards development work taking
  place under ANSIs HITSP, with the proviso that
  this US-based initiative (HITSP) take into
  account globally relevant solutions in order to
  realize greater efficiency and cost
  effectiveness.
• Further, the CAG recommends that this commitment
  include establishing an SCC under the Standards
  Board to embrace all of IEEEs interested
  technical standards programs.
• The CAG requests that the Secretary to the SASB
  and BOG bring this statement of support to those
  Boards for their endorsement.

IEEE-SA Standards Development

• Five principles guide standards development
• Ensuring integrity and wide acceptance
• for IEEE standards
