N.B. IEEE Standards Association has one of the worst public review facilities in the global standards development system. We get to say this because we are the original standards advisory group for the largest building construction market in the world and we see them all. IEEE is “family” for us so we can say it with kindness. Regretfully IEEE has done nothing about this problem for years. We collaborate with the IEEE E&H Committee 4x per month in accessing draft standards which is a fair remedy for the obvious shortcomings. More on this topic.
