About IEEE l The IEEE ("eye-triple-E"), The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., helps advance global prosperity by promoting the engineering process of creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying knowledge about electrical and information technologies and sciences for the benefit of humanity and the profession.

IEEE l IEEE Established in 1884 (AIEE & IRE) l IEEE September 2000 Membership was 368,225; 66% USA & 33% Non-USA l IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, l IEEE holds annually more than 300 major conferences and l IEEE has more than 800 active standards with 700 under development.

IEEE-SA l l IEEE-SA now has a total of 5,969 members. l l IEEE-SA standards production has a run-rate of about 75 standards per year, a typical year. l l IEEE-SA electronic balloting is becoming more accepted and there was discussion of making electronic balloting either mandatory or the default method. l l IEEE-SA is working a MoU with the ITU-R that will facilitate the exchange of technical information and the cross- referencing of each others work. This signals both the importance of IEEE standards work in the field of wireless communications and the importance of communication standards in the IEEE. l l Europe's ETSI and the IEEE are expanding cooperation under their existing MoU to: a/HiperLAN2 at 5 GHz and /ETSI-BRAN for fixed wireless.
