7. IEEE-802-15-12-0026-00 Submission January 2012 Jon Adams, Lilee SystemsSlide 7 Chair’s Role http://ieee802.org/Mike_Spring_Article_on_Stds_ Process.pdfhttp://ieee802.org/Mike_Spring_Article_on_Stds_ Process.pdf …the chairperson of the working group is key to what and how fast a standard is produced. The chair of the committee acts as a facilitator with little power to legislate. The chair must be knowledgeable about the subject but also know how a standard may be used by various segments of the industry. A chairperson should be a leader-diplomat-observer, in equal proportions. Also, the chairperson should not be a doer, perfectionist or obstructionist. This is consistent with the view of the chairperson as a skilled leader with strong negotiation skills who delegates.
