Activities at the September SASB Mtg
RevCom is concerned about several issues with myBallot dealing with commenting (e.g. bulk uploaded comments) and comment resolution.
RevCom is looking at several potential improvements to the reaffirmation process dealing with making an early determination if a standard needs a revision rather than a reaffirmation.
NesCom agreed that removal of Question 7.3 from the PAR form would be appropriate — health, safety, security and environmental issues will be flagged/addressed during the MEC phase.
The work of the Appeals ad hoc was concluded and recommended changes to the P&Ps were delivered to ProCom. These changes are intended to clarify and refine the appeals process.
Progress continues to be made in 802.20 which the SASB has been closely monitoring due to allegations of affiliations. The 802 Oversight Committee (a sponsor entity) had previously changed the voting methodology for 802.20
802.20 Voting
The 802.20 OC held a series of interviews and investigated the perception of dominance within 802.20
At the San Francisco meeting the 802.20 OC recommended several actions to the un-conflicted EC including changing the voting method in 802.20 from individual voting to a hybrid entity/member approach
This new voting approach is believed to address both positive and negative dominance in the short and long term
Voting in 802.20 will be done by a designated voter selected by an eligible entity
Eligibility of an entity in 802.20 is derived through an individual that has established membership by complying with the membership. Attendance rules of 802 and 802.20 and who has declared affiliation with that entity while establishing membership
802.20 Voting
Corollaries of this approach are: Each entity will have one vote In order to maintain voting rights the entity must maintain a designated
voter who is a member of 802.20 New entities that desire voting rights or members of 802.20 who wish to
vote on behalf of a new entity must attend 4 meetings, 2 of which are plenary meetings after declaring their affiliation to that entity. (This is an 802 rule)
An existing member of 802.20 may become the designated voter of an entity that has existing rights at the next meeting after declaring affiliation to that entity
The approach and rules implemented by 802.20 precludes potential abuses such as individual members making their membership.

L50-S Reports Sponsor Report Status
As of 19 September 2007, 116 of 150 sponsors have submitted their 2006 report. This represents a 77% response rate. None of the non-compliant sponsors have active projects under management.
Per the IEEE SASB directive, all 36 sponsors have been suspended pending submission of the required report.
No CS sponsors are affected Working Group Report Status
As of 19 September 2007, 571 of 573 have submitted the 2006 report. This represents a 99.6% response rate.
Per the IEEE SASB directive, the two working groups have been suspended until submission of the report. They are the Single Phase Induction Motors Working Group and the G2 Oil Containment Working Group.
Activities at the September SASB Mtg
ProCom Removed the IEEE membership requirement for
Chairs although the entity they represent must still be an IEEE-SA member.
Work on Stabilized Standards continues and is expected to be finalized at the December SASB meeting
A P&P change should be finalized at the December SASB meeting that will mandate IEEE concentration banking as the only banking method for standards developers with bank accounts.
Work on the Affiliation FAQ continues.
Activities at the September SASB Mtg
AudCom An ad hoc committee was formed to modify
the baseline P&P document to include the SCC Type 2 model P&P.
The goal is to develop a single common sponsor and SCC P&P document.
The ad hoc will be chaired by Ron Petersen, with Howard Wolfman, Gary Robinson and Matt Ceglia.
Consideration of a baseline working group P&P continues.
Activities at the September SASB Mtg
PatCom A change to the LOA form was made to add the
definitions from the Bylaws to the LOA form to insure recipients of the LOA request know the IEEE’s definition of these special terms.
Clarifications to the Patent Policy FAQ continue based on input from participants.
Proposed changes to the P&P to be balloted by the SASB
PatCom Administrator’s role in accepting LOAs is ‘ministerial’ No discretion regarding the content of LOA
LOA Form overrides any not-to-exceed rates, attached sample license or licensing terms
IEEE not responsible for determining if not-to-exceed rates, attached sample license or licensing terms are reasonable or non-discriminatory

IEEE-SA Board of Governors Last face-to-face meeting was held in June in Piscataway. The BoG began discussions on a number of strategic issues
focused on the long term success of the SA. Strategic Question: “What should the SA strategy be in
implementing business opportunities around the full lifecycle of standards?”
Discussion on a survey of BoG members asking such questions as: What demographic, social and consumer values will have a significant
impact on our profession and our members in the next 5-10 years? What scientific and technological advances will have a significant impact
on our profession and our members in the next 5-10 years? What do you think is the most important outcome for the IEEE Standards
Association to accomplish in the next 10 years if there were no obstacles to success? What conditions will exist when we've accomplished this goal? What will be different and for whom as a result of our work?
What are the key questions that the IEEE Standards Association will need to ask and answer in order to achieve these long-range outcomes? What barriers to achieving our vision - both internal and external to the organization - will need to be addressed?
A joint strategic discussion session with the CAG will be held during the December meeting series.
IEEE-SA Board of Governors
The two BoG ad hoc committees have continued to meet in conjunction with the BoG as well as between BoG meetings: International CommitteeBusiness Development Committee
Next BoG meeting is Nov 30 and Dec 1 in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
IEEE-SA Board of Governors
Nominations and Appointments Committee
Nominations for the BoG and the CAG are complete.
May still be possible to add a highly qualified nominee for the Standards Board to the slate.
Advise Don Wright if you or someone you know might be interested in serving.
