DETAILED STANDARDS EXPERIENCE
Over 25 years experience in the standards development arena, including
leadership positions in the IEEE, ANSI Company Member Council, NCITS and
the ISO/IEC JTC 1 TAG. This activity was related to managing, promoting and improving
the standards development process rather than the writing of specific standards.
Represented, as appropriately authorized, Texas Instruments, the
IEEE, the US and the Information Technology industry on initiatives by
the US Department of Commerce, NIST and ANSI to expose non-US National
Standards Bodies to US expectations with regard to standards, quality,
safety, environmental issues, conformity assessment, certification and
business practices.
