PSRC Standards Coordinator's report
2002 - May - 21


 

The Standards Coordinator, Mohindar Sachdev, met with the Chairs of the Working Groups writing and revising standards documents on May 21, 2002 in Ballroom IV, The Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel and Towers, Pittsburgh, PA.

Naeem Ahmad of the IEEE Standards Association attended the meeting and gave a brief presentation of the procedures for submitting standards for balloting and approval. The presentation was well received and will facilitate the submission of standards documents.

The status of PARs, Standards and Guides, reviewed at the meeting, are summarized in this report. The actions to be taken for keeping the approval of the PARs up-to-date and keeping the Standards and Guides live are identified. A summary of the specific approv-als received since the January 2002 meeting of the PSRC and the actions that need to be taken soon are identified as well.

Information concerning the Standards Association (SA), Board of Governors, Committees of SA, the Development of standards, Recommended Practices and Guides and related issues is available on the following web site.
