RE: Your opinion is requested



Hi Paul,
    I see no issues...
 
    Most of the members of this group are associated with different companies.... and contributing towards common goal.
 
    And, this is a voluntary contribution... based on one's self interest.
 
    So, no need to get the second thought... lets move forward. Be happy and confident :-)
 
Regards, Reuban

Subject: Your opinion is requested

Dear UPAMD Working Group Members:

 

Bob Davis, chairperson of the UPAMD, and I request your feedback.  We subscribe to the values of the IEEE meeting rules and want to bring to your attention something about which we want to hear from you.  Our working group and its subgroups strive to ensure there are no conflicts of interest or even the appearance of such.

Green Plug introduced the Green Power Processor, high-performance, low-power, mixed-signal processor for PID feedback loop and PFC control that also offers digital communication with sinks.  Green Plug, like most of the members participating in the working group, intends to support the eventual UPAMD spec, but cannot commit to that until it is defined.

Because I am an employee of Green Plug, we want to ensure that no one feels my role as chairperson of the Power Subgroup represents a conflict of interest either as defined formally in the IEEE rules or even just in any member’s mind.  Please let us know how you feel.  Our goal is to make rapid progress on the successful standardization of UPAMD and we do not want anything to impede our progress.

Please let us know how you feel about this.  Thank you.

 

Regards,

 

Paul Panepinto

UPAMD Power Subgroup Chair
