IEEE Standards Association

src: www.indicon2016.in

The IEEE-SA is an organization within the IEEE that develops global standards in a variety of industries, including: power and energy, biomedicine and health care, information technology and robotics, telecommunications and home automation, transportation, nanotechnology, information assurance, and more.

IEEE-SA has been developing standards for over a century, through programs that offer balance, openness, fair procedures, and consensus. Technical experts from around the world are participating in the development of IEEE standards.

IEEE-SA is not a body officially authorized by any government, but a community. ISO, IEC and ITU recognized international standards organizations. ISO members are national standard bodies such as ANSI America, DIN Germany, or JISC Japan. Members of the IEC are called National Committees, some of which are held by national standards bodies. It is not synonymous with ISO members. Both IEC and ISO develop consensus-based International Standards and follow the principle of "one country one vote", representing the broad industry needs. Their standards can not be sponsored by individual companies or organizations.

President of the Standards Association 2017-2018 is Mr. Don Wright. She is President of Standard Strategy, LLC and Director of Retirement Standards Worldwide for Lexmark International.

Each year, IEEE-SA conducts more than 200 standard ballot papers, a process by which the proposed standard is selected for technical and health reliability. By 2017, IEEE has more than 1100 active standards, with more than 600 standards being developed.

One of the most prominent is the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standard group, with standard networked computers that are widely used for wired networks (IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.3) and wireless networks (IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16).

The IEEE standard development process can be broken down into seven basic steps:

1. Securing Sponsor: : Organizations approved by the IEEE must sponsor standards. The sponsor organization is in charge of coordinating and supervising the development of standards from start to finish. The professional community within the IEEE serves as a natural sponsor for many standards.
2. Requesting a Project Authorization : To obtain authorization for the standard, the Project Authorization Request (PAR) is sent to the IEEE-SA Standards Board. The New Standard Committee (NesCom) of the IEEE-SA Standards Board reviews PAR and makes recommendations to the Standards Board on whether to approve PAR.
3. Assemble Working Groups : Once PAR is approved, individual working groups affected by, or interested in, standards are set to develop standards. The IEEE-SA Rule ensures that all Working Group meetings are open and anyone is eligible to attend and contribute to the meeting.
4. Developing Standards : Working Group prepares proposed draft standards. Generally, this design follows the IEEE Standard Style Guidelines that set guidelines for standard document clauses and formats.
5. Voting : After the draft standard is completed within the Working Group, the draft is submitted for approval of the Voting. The IEEE Standards Department sends an invitation-to-ballot for every individual who has expressed an interest in standard issues. Anyone who responds to a positive invitation invitation becomes a member of the voting group, provided that the individual is a member of the IEEE Standards Association or has paid a voting fee. The IEEE requires that the proposed draft standard receive a 75% response rate (that is, at least 75% of the potential ballot papers are returned) and that, of the ballot papers responding, at least 75% approve the proposed draft standard. If the standard is not approved, the process returns to the standard step-setting to change the standard document to obtain approval from the voting group.
6. Review Committee : Upon approval of 75%, draft standards, together with voting comments, are submitted to the IEEE-SA Council Standards Review Committee (RevCom). RevCom reviews the proposed draft standard against the IEEE-SA Standard Household Rules and the conditions set out in the IEEE-SA Board Standard Operating Standards. RevCom then made a recommendation on whether to approve the draft standard documents submitted.
7. Last Voting : Each member of the IEEE-SA Standards Board places the final vote on the submitted standard document. In some cases, external members are invited to vote. Majority votes from the Standards Board are required for final approval of the standards. In general, if RevCom recommends approval, the Standards Board will vote to approve the standards.

Patent policy

Because IEEE standards often incorporate technologies covered by one or more patent claims, IEEE-SA has developed and added a legal policy governing patent policies to ensure both implementers use standard-patented technologies essentially in their standards. the product has access to that technology and that the patent holder who voluntarily contributes the technology to the standard receives adequate compensation for the use of the implementer. An important part of the IEEE patent policy is the commitment of FRAND, which is a voluntary contract commitment that signifies that patent holders with patented technologies that have been adopted into one of the IEEE standards will receive fair, discriminatory and non-discriminatory royalty for the use of third parties from that technology. Most standards-setting organizations have developed patent policies similar to similar commitments.

In 2014, IEEE-SA became a major academic debate center among economics and law scholars when appointing an ad hoc committee to recommend and then draft amendments to the IEEE patent policy, to which the IEEE Board of Governors gave final approval in February 2015 and which entered into force in March 2015. The IEEE said that the reason for the amendment was to improve the clarity of the patent policy and the obligation that the patent policy of FRAND's commitment impose on patent holders seeking to enforce their standard-essential patents. One of the controversial amendments is a provision that prohibits patent holders from seeking command orders and exceptions (from ITC) against standard-patent infringers.

The Antitrust Division expressed its support for the 2015 patent policy revision in a business review letter issued in January 2015, upon request from IEEE-SA. In the letter, the Antitrust Division said that the terms would clearly result in net benefits for consumers with non-significant anti-competitive implications. There is at least one commentator who criticized the legal and economic analysis of the Antitrust Division proposed in his business review paper on revisions, claiming that the Antitrust Division exaggerated the competitive advantage of patent policy and incorrectly regarded it as a number of possible anti-competitive costs.

Get IEEE

IEEE Get Program makes some standards available for public download: This program provides public access to view and download current individual standards at no cost. On July 11, 2017, IEEE Get Program moved to the IEEE Xplore digital library website and eligible standards for programs passing through that date will only be available there. On September 1, 2017, the original website was disabled and fixed, with no further updates, to redirect visitors.
