OpenStand Principles in Action at the IEEE-SA

At the IEEE-SA standards participants work within a market-driven standards model that has gathered maturity in certain key technology spaces, including the Internet. This paradigm for global, open standards is encapsulated in the "OpenStand" principles, and it is proven in its ability to help level regional barriers in the contemporary age of borderless commerce.
