21. IEEE Corporate Advisory GroupMarch 17, 2006 Motion • The IEEE-SA CAG is committed to supporting the coordinated standards development work taking place under ANSI’s HITSP, with the proviso that this US-based initiative (HITSP) take into account globally relevant solutions in order to realize greater efficiency and cost effectiveness. • Further, the CAG recommends that this commitment include establishing an SCC under the Standards Board to embrace all of IEEEs interested technical standards programs. • The CAG requests that the Secretary to the SASB and BOG bring this statement of support to those Boards for their endorsement.
