5. Vitality observations Sponsor committees range from very large portfolios to start-ups with no completed projects –Both can be vital sponsors All current sponsors show some signs of vitality –Individual situations to be explored with SAB chair and sponsors Late-completing projects can have various causes –Lack of interested SMEs, contending WG interests, analytical WG members, lack of sponsor/SAB guidance on IEEE procedures Diminishing workload is not always a bad sign –Stabilized processes and systems vs relevance to current technology and methods –New standard development vs adoption of existing specifications 5CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09
