PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 19 September 2006
The IEEE Standards Association Standards Board (SASB) today announced
its plan to enable the IEEE 802.20 Working Group to move forward with
its work to develop a mobile broadband wireless access standard and provide
the best opportunity for its completion and approval. The plan calls for
the working group's reorganization including the appointment of new officers
as well as new balloting and balloting resolution committees. It also
clarifies and tightens requirements for disclosure of affiliations. The
decision is the outcome of an investigation by the SASB into appeals and
other concerns that had led to the temporary suspension of the working
group's activities.

IEEE Standard for Developing a Software Project Life Cycle Process
This project will develop a revised 1074 Standard for Developing a Software
Project Life Cycle Process. The scope of the revision will be consistent
with the scope of the original document (and IEEE guidance for the revision
effort). The standard provides a process for creating a software project
life cycle process.

IEEE Standard for Scalable Storage Interface S2I
This document specifies a scalable interface between mass-storage devices
and controlling hardware/software. The interface has been optimized for
low-latency interconnects, assuming that the processor/controller and
the storage device can often be co-located on the same printed-circuit
board. The interface can also be used with longer-distance bus-like interconnects,
including (but not limited to) IEEE Std 1394-1995 Serial Bus and IEEE
Std 1596-1992 Scalable Coherent Interface.

IEEE Standard for Hazardous Material Incident Management Message Sets
for Use by Emergency Management Centers
This standard addresses the exchange of vital data about public safety
issues involved in transportation-related events, through common incident
management message sets. The message sets specified are consistent with
the National Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture and are described
using Abstract Syntax Notation One ("ASN.1" or "ASN") syntax. This standard
comprises one companion volume of the family of incident management standards
centered around a base standard: IEEE Std 1512-2006.
