Follow/Register as an Interested Party (Standards Committee, Working Group, Project)

Indicating interest in a Standards Committee or any of its subgroups allows you to receive ballot invitations and other notifications. Indicating interest also allows the chair to assign involvement levels and group roles. Working Group officers will also be notified when you register interest to participate in the group.

Note: Potential Standards Committee/Working Group Officers need to indicate an interest so that they can be assigned the officer role.
