Abstract
Developing standards is done using many models and methods. Through its cooperation with the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO), the IEEE is able to offer alternatives to industry, especially to those in the information and communications technology fields.In the late 1990s, the IEEE Standards Association (SA) came to the realization that the traditional individual-based standards development model used in the IEEE for decades was not fully meeting the emerging demands for standardization, especially from industry. It was then that the SA decided to broaden its standards development models and started down a path that eventually led to the entity development model and the Corporate Advisory Group (CAG) as well as the creation of a separate not-for-profit corporation that became the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO). This column describes the ISTO, and a future column will address the entity standards development model and the CAG.
