PSRC Standards Coordinator's report
2005 - January - 13


 

The Standards Coordinator, Jeffrey Gilbert, met with the Chairs of the Working Groups writing and revising standards documents at sessions beginning at 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM on January 11, 2005, in Salon E of the San Diego Marriott Del Mar, San Diego, California. The status of PARs, Standards and Guides, were reviewed at the meeting. The status of the PARs is summarized below. The actions to be taken for keeping up-to-date the approval of the PARs and for keeping live the Standards and Guides are identified. A summary of the specific approvals received, since the September 2004 meeting of the PSRC, 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.

Some important Developments

  1. As of 2005 January 01, there are no paper ballots. All documents will be balloted electronically and requests for paper balloting are no being entertained by the Standards Association.

  2. New balloting procedures are being introduced in 2005. Sponsors will be allowed to start invitation to ballot, choose opening and closing dates, and delegate balloting privileges. The balloters will be allowed to view invitations to ballot, join balloting groups, download documents, submit ballots and comments, and review the responses of the sponsors to the comments.

  3. The Style Manual has been revised. The new manual contains updates to style requirements and incorporates changes made to the IEEE-SA Operations Manual. Important changes that working group chairs should be aware of include:
    • Initiation of mandatory editorial coordination at the start of the ballot invitation,

    • Submission of all relevant copyright permission letters at the start of the ballot invitation

    • New format for normative references and new requirements for definitions

    • Required use of IEEE templates for document development


    Standards Coordination Effort
    PARs applied for by all Committees of the Power Engineering Society (PES) are being circulated among the Standards Coordinators of the PES Committees. The number and title of each new PAR approved by the Standards Board is posted on the PSRC Web site at the following address.

    http://www.pes-psrc.org/Astandards.html

    The copy of each PAR can be viewed by clicking at the number of the PAR in the list. All members of the PSRC are requested to review the newly approved PARs. If you are interested in the development work planned in a PAR, contact the Chair of the Working Group that is developing the document and sign up for participating in the activity of that Working Group.
