Re: Exploring options for a new home in IEEE
Robert, No need to seek a new home for IFF just yet, unless you want
to. If we move to the IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering, that
should be a good home for your project.
Matthew West, Yes, we should wonder what we would do if we moved, but I
suggest we move first. If we later decide to do nothing, at least we
have a home to store our archived messages and documents. IEEE has the
nice advantage of being a mega society, but nobody has to actually join
to participate. Annual dues are probably at least $150. I have three
good ideas but I'm don't want to get into them while we're still
unchartered.
By staying with IEEE, I don't believe that locks us into IEEE if we ever
wanted to try again with another standard. I believe we could always go
to another Standards Developing Organization.
