  • Position Statements on Standards -
    Sample Sponsor Rules

All communications shall comply with clause 5.1.4 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual. These procedures apply to communications with government and intergovernment bodies.

Electronic copies of all position statements shall be sent to the Secretary of the IEEE-SA Board of Governors (BOG), who shall forward such statements to appropriate entities within the IEEE.

  • Sponsor Position Statements

Sponsor position statements shall not be released without prior approval by the Sponsor, which requires two-thirds vote per the IEEE Policy and Procedures Manual, Section 15.

  • Subgroup Position Statements

Subgroup position statements shall not be released without prior approval by a three-fourths vote of the subgroup. Such position statements may proceed unless blocked by a Sponsor vote at a Sponsor meeting. For position statements not presented for review at a Sponsor meeting, members shall be provided a review period of at least five (5) days. If, during that time, a motion to block the position statement is made, release of the position statement will be withheld [pending failure of the blocking motion].

Subgroup position statements shall be identified in the first paragraph of the position statement as being specifically the position of the subgroup. These statements shall be issued by the Subgroup Chair and shall include the Sponsor Chair in the distribution. Such statements shall bear neither the IEEE nor the IEEE Sponsor logos.

  • Informal Communications

Informal communications shall not imply that they are a formal position of the Sponsor or the subgroup.

  • Position Statements Issued by Other Entities

If the Sponsor wishes to go to another IEEE entity (as defined in IEEE Policy and Procedures Manual, Section 15) to have that entity offer a position statement on a standards matter, it shall do so after agreement from the IEEE-SA BOG. Therefore, proposed position statements that need to be issued by other IEEE entities shall be forwarded to the IEEE-SA BOG Secretary for further action.
