Section 7 - Professional Activities (Part A - IEEE Policies)

 

7.3   Scope of Professional Activities

In achieving the objectives of Section 7.1, suitable professional positions may become IEEE professional standards or positions subject to the following:

  1. In developing a professional position it is essential that all nonmember affected parties be invited to contribute to the development of the professional position.

  2. To the extent possible, all viewpoints pertaining to a professional position should be considered.  Viewpoints shall be considered with relationship to the primary interest of the profession.  Those viewpoints that cannot be included shall be reported with the reasons for non-inclusion to the Board of Directors when approval of the position is sought.

  3. The IEEE formulates and enunciates professional positions for the benefit of the profession as a whole.  Once approved by the Board of Directors, such professional positions shall be published in IEEE SPECTRUM as a position of the Board and shall be available for use by any other publication.  If the nature of a given professional position is such that the possibility of endorsement or compliance with that position is encouraged, only those organizations and/or individuals who authorize the release of their identity shall be included in any report concerning their position.  For example, acceptance of employment guidelines or support of positions by organizations might be recognized by issuance of term certificates upon application and by granting of approval by IEEE-USA.  Public announcements of such presentations are encouraged.  Reports on group compliance, wherein identification of affiliations remains anonymous, may be made from time to time.

  4. Commendations to named individuals or organizational units may be made for performance in professional and human affairs by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of IEEE-USA or other IEEE organizational unit.
