The IEEE Standards Companion

IEEE Standards has just published The IEEE Standards Companion, a new free document that offers practical guidance on the stages and tasks involved in standards development. It is a useful companion booklet to the official rules and policies of IEEE Standards, such as the IEEE Standards Board Bylaws and the IEEE Standards Operations Manual.

The IEEE Standards Companion discusses the standards process--the method by which a fully developed, officially approved standard is created. It also explains standards development in a friendly manner and offers practical suggestions. Featured material includes sample correspondence, guidance on handling negative ballots, tips on submitting the PAR, and methods for handling interpretation requests.
