SISO Vision:

BPDSP Update:

P&P Update:
SISO's Policies and Procedures, SISO-ADM-002-2008.1, is under revision. It is most easily accessible on the "About SISO" page, but can also be found under "SISO Products", and in the File Library.

The update includes a complete revision of the appeals process, requires SISO membership for Committee and Panel member’s self nomination to be maintained throughout their terms of office, requires PDG and PSG members to be SISO members, and discusses the process for electronic votes conducted by Committees.

SSG and PSG Defined:
In addition to Study Groups (SG) and Product Development Groups (PDG), SISO established two additional concepts in 2006. Descriptions are in the 2006 version of the P&P:

• A Standing Study Group (SSG) may be established to represent a specific community or national group, to mature a potential standard, or potentially to provide support to open-source software. SSGs may have an indefinite life span. Approved SSGs.
• A Product Support Group (PSG) will be established upon completion of a balloted SISO product or SISO sponsored product to offer continuity and a place for developers and users of the standards to ask questions, request explanations, seek support, or register change requests for subsequent versions of the product. The PSG takes responsibility for the product at Step 5 of the Balloted Products Development and Support Process. Approved PSGs.

Product Update:
