Re: [STDS-P1619] Decision to switch SISWG to corporate-based voting / IEEE corporate members list

Just to be clear, this motion was made not because the movers are necessarily in favor of it, but that it would be the action that would change the status quo (conversely, a motion to keep the voting as 'individual' would have no effect if it passed or failed).  If this motion fails, then we'll stay as an 'Individual' working group, and adjust the operating procedures accordingly to better match the new baseline procedures.

Along these lines, Eric Hibbard has created an operating procedures proposal for individual (not corporate) voting.  See:

https://siswg.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=189&Itemid=41

(changes from the baseline procedures are highlighted)

I've added discussion of this proposal to the agenda for the July 15th meeting.  If the group decides to move to 'Corporate' voting, we'll need to figure out those Operating Procedures, and change all the PARS.

Thanks,
-Matt

You might talk with James Borden, Daniel Goodman of the 1667 group, which is entity based, has been from inception. At times 1667 has considered going to individual-based membership. I have not heard that recently, but you can get their perspective on being an entity-based group. One particularly irritating aspect for me personally has been that, even as sponsor chair, I could not vote in 1667 balloting.

Hi Folks,

In today's meeting, we tabled a motion to switch SISWG from individual-based membership to corporate-based membership.  We'll hear this motion again at the next meeting on July 15th.  To help you make your decision of Individual vs. Corporate membership, here are some links.  I've also attached a list of IEEE-SA corporate members, as of June 2009.

If we stay with individual membership, there will be no fees for participating in SISWG.  If we switch to corporate membership, then the fees range from $1100 to $5500 per year, depending on company size.  If you're company is already on the attached list, then you wouldn't need to pay any extra.

I know Eric was about ready to hop on a plane, so I wanted to get these out for review now...

Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions!

Cheers,
