The issue also contains the usual news about members, the law, and standards in general—look for important information about patents,  and new requirements for the protection of privacy for your European participants.
SES Member Spotlight

The Society for Standards Professionals (SES) is seeking SES Member volunteers to discuss how they became a member, what standards development means to them, and how the SES has contributed or played a part in their professional development.
