doc.: IEEE 802 ec-19-0171-00-00ec Nov 2019 Andrew Myles was recently elected to the IEEE-SA BoG as a member-at-large for 2020-21 Each year, two candidates are elected as members-at-large of the IEEE- SA BoG for a term of two years Andrew is honoured to be elected this year to serve in 2020-21 with more votes than the other two candidates combined Thank you to IEEE 802 members who voted for Andrew! Andrew s election policy statement focused on making the IEEE-SA standards process & governance more open & transparent Andrew plans to execute his mandate by promoting: Access to entity based WGs to any interested parties, without any membership requirement, possibly with voting limited to IEEE-SA Corporate members Note: such a change may result in a similar requirement for voters in individual based WGs to be IEEE-SA Individual members Increased visibility of IEEE-SA governance, by requiring that IEEE-SA SB/BoG discussions are not held in Executive Session unless they actually satisfy the relevant IEEE guidelines for confidentiality Slide 5 Submission Andrew Myles, Cisco

doc.: IEEE 802 ec-19-0171-00-00ec Nov 2019 Andrew Myles election policy statement focused on making IEEE-SA standards more open & transparent Andrew Myles policy statement for the BoG election Having experienced standards development and governance in multiple SDOs over 30 years, Dr Myles strongly believes the key to good standards that live up to the IEEE s vision of benefiting humanity is openness & transparency. While Dr Myles acknowledges IEEE-SA supports these concepts by its support for the OpenStand principles, it is Dr Myles vision to transition IEEE-SA towards radical openness , so that anyone, globally, can access everything about any standards development (and governance) at any time. Radical openness means all potential stakeholders can know about, and thus have a real opportunity to influence IEEE-SA standards, with ease! The benefit will be standards that are more likely to meet the needs of all humanity, and not just those in the know ! Slide 6 Submission Andrew Myles, Cisco
