IEEE Corporate Advisory Group March 17, 2006 Motion l The IEEE-SA CAG is committed to supporting the coordinated standards development work taking place under ANSIs HITSP, with the proviso that this US-based initiative (HITSP) take into account globally relevant solutions in order to realize greater efficiency and cost effectiveness. l Further, the CAG recommends that this commitment include establishing an SCC under the Standards Board to embrace all of IEEEs interested technical standards programs. l The CAG requests that the Secretary to the SASB and BOG bring this statement of support to those Boards for their endorsement.
