  2. Imperative Principles of the Standards Process • Developing standards is a quasi-legal process • Standards can become legal requirements • It is possible to break the law inadvertently • If you follow the rules, you will be covered by the IEEE umbrella of indemnification

  3. Imperative Principles of the Legal Standards Process • Due Process • Openness • Consensus • Balance • Right of Appeal

  7. Openness • Everyone has access to the process • Make information and actions publicly available for examination • Include all materially interested and affected parties • Avoid antitrust situations/appearance of collusion • Opportunity to participate does not necessarily mean membership or a vote

  10. Balance • Representation from all materially interested and affected parties • Lack of dominance by any one category • Common categories: Producer, user, and general interest • Ideal to maintain balance throughout development • Encourage participation • Mandatory for balloting
