Executive Summary

• IEEE is the worlds largest technical
  professional society, with over 376,000 members
  in over 160 countries, grouped into geographic
  and technical areas reflecting where members live
  and work. There are 44 technical societies and
  councils which represent the wide range of
  technical interests in the IEEE.
• IEEE holds more than 500 international
  conferences annually and publishes over 30 of
  the worlds literature in its fields. There are
  more than 1.7 million documents in the IEEE/IET
  Electronic Library, including more than 900
  active industry standards and nearly 1,300
  standards and projects under development.
• IEEE has been developing standards for 115
  years. IEEE standards reflect the
  standardization principles as stated by the WTO,
  and the IEEE-SA has a leading contemporary
  intellectual property policy. It encourages its
  membership to participate in standardization
  activities, for the benefit of their industries
  and the public good. IEEEs technical
  professionals work in a global marketplace where
  national boundaries are often a secondary issue.
  In fields where IEEE work has already been done,
  it encourages international and regional
  standards bodies to consider using IEEE standards
  as the source of technical information.
• It has been a long standing IEEE policy to
  harmonize work with other SDOs when possible to
  eliminate duplication of effort and speed the
  development of international standards. IEEE is
  a sector member of ITU-T, -R, and D
  collaborates with IEC under a dual-logo
  agreement and collaborates with ISO under a
  Partner Standards Development Organization
  agreement. A review of the high-interest areas
  of GSC-13 indicate a large amount (66) of common
  areas with IEEE. The following slides provide
  detail.
