Nature, dynamics and Priorities of IEEE-SA • IEEE-SA is not (merely) a consortium, it is not an industry body, it is not a stand alone organization We are an organic part of IEEE • A global, neutral, open and multi-faceted institution, a global democracy of technical experts, with a formidable reputation of technical excellence in vast areas of technology and science. • IEEE-SA’s Mission is: • Advancing technology for the benefit of humanity by providing a globally open, inclusive, and transparent environment for market relevant, voluntary consensus standardization. GSC-19 Meeting, 15 -16 July 2015, Geneva
Our main contribution to the global public good • Create and maintain a globally-open, fair and inclusive standardization ecosystem with clear rules and transparent processes • Beyond technology excellence, increasing engagement at the interface between technology and policy Example: IEEE Internet Initiative, aiming at restoring trust to the Internet by contributing to establishment of trustworthy technologies and standards. -- Without consumers’ and citizen’s trust, promises of “smart x” will not materialize • Offering/promoting programs to developing countries: • Special membership rates • Offer our standards for adoption at no charge • Education programs and fellowships GSC-19 Meeting, 15 -16 July 2015, Geneva
Strategic Priorities • IEEE-SA Top Strategic Goals • Expand IEEE’s global presence • Continuously evolve the IEEE-SA processes and support, resulting in globally used standards • Ensure IEEE-SA's Financial Sustainability • Be a Learning Community • With increasing technological complexity and convergence, cooperation and coordination are critical GSC-19 Meeting, 15 -16 July 2015, Geneva
