Create a Group

In the myProject system, a Standards Committee (SC) is created under an IEEE Society. IEEE Societies can only be created by submitting a support request. The SC must be created in myProject before that SC can upload proposed policies and procedures (P&P)s. This function must be performed by IEEE SA Governance Staff.

Standards Committee (SC)  and Working Group (WG) officers have the ability to add subgroups to existing groups.

Applicable Users:

• SC and/or WG Officers, Program Management staff, governance staff.

Notes:

• SC and/or WG officers can only add subgroups of groups they manage.
• A list of your assigned roles can be found on your Manage Profile & Interests screen under the My Roles tab.
