Affiliation Policy

• Requirement to declare affiliation at all standards development meetings and recorded in the minutes– Affiliation not necessarily same as employer– Declaration requirement may be familiar to some 802 WGs, though

WG declaration process may evolve

• 11. What if I refuse to disclose my affiliation?– As outlined in IEEE-SA governance documents, you will lose certain rights.

In a working group where voting rights are gained through attendance, no attendance credit will be granted if affiliation isn’t declared. Similarly, voting rights are to be removed if affiliation isn’t declared.

• Affiliation declaration will be added to Sponsor ballot• http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/affiliationFAQ.html
