Supersedes and voids prior collaboration agreements between IEEE entities and ISO entities –Including TR 8802-1 between IEEE 802 and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6/WG1 Gives IEEE de facto status as an international standards making body –IEEE can request the ISO Secretary General to initiate FDIS ballots directly for IEEE standards Strong protection of IEEE’s Copyright Describes how ISO and IEEE will collaborate to develop and maintain standards
