IEEE Entity Proposal Management Committee
Formed in 2020 by the IEEE PES Technical Council as a new standing committee to provide an
internal process utilizing liaisons to review proposals to PES:
To review entity proposals from PES Regional Chapter Councils (e.g., the IEEE PES China
Council) and other channels (e.g., the US Department of Homeland Security)
To review other similar Non-PAR proposals and documents (e.g., from CIGRE, CIRED, etc.)
Manages the review of entity project proposals received from various channels to ensure that
these proposals or similar documents are reviewed by the IEEE PES Technical Council and the
relevant technical committees.
Review take place prior to IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) New Standards Committee
(NesCom) review.
Each technical committee has a liaison to the EPM Committee, but multiple committees share
the same liaison.
IEEE Entity Proposal Management Committee
Composition
EPM Committee Chair is the immediate past
chair of the IEEE PES Technical Council.
EPM Vice Chair is a past chair of a PES
committee and serves a five-year term.
The EPM Chair appoints six (6) members from
the 17 technical committees with staggered 3-
year terms. There is an option for one renewal
for a total potential term of 6 years for one
individual.

Entity Proposal Management with IEEE PES T&D Committee
In concert with the EPM Committee Liaison for the T&D Committee, the EPM Committee assigns review of an entity proposal by the IEEE PES T&D
Committee.
The T&D Committee’s Standards Coordinator
1
assigns the proposal to one or more technical subcommittees for review.
The subcommittee reviews the proposal. The proposal includes a title, description, participants, draft PAR, and supporting PowerPoint and/or
Word documents.
The subcommittee provides answers these questions to the T&D standards coordinator:
The T&D Standards Coordinator provides an answer to these questions to its EPM Committee Liaison. The EPM Committee Liaison relays the
answers to the questions to the EPM Committee.
The EPM Committee reviews the answers to the scope questions at its next meeting.
1
As the current standards coordinator for the T&D Committee is Dan Sabin, but Dan Sabin is the also the Vice Chair of the EPM Committee, the
previous standards coordinator (John McDaniel) was appointed by T&D Committee to coordinate review of entity proposals for T&D Committee.
Question Possible Answers
Is the proposal within the scope of your subcommittee? Yes, No, Other. If “Other”, please explain.
Are there similar/overlapping standards? Yes, No, Maybe, I’m not sure. If “Maybe” or “I’m not sure”, please explain.
Is your subcommittee willing to take oversight of the proposal? Answers: Yes, No, Maybe. If “No”, please provide a detailed rationale. If “Maybe”, then please clarify.
Entity Proposal Management Proposal Review
During the EPM Committee Meeting, the EPM Committee will take one of the following actions:
Accept Oversight: Ask IEEE SA to assign the proposal to one or more PES technical committees for review
The study group should work with the Standards Coordinator to finalize the proposal before submission to IEEE SA MyProject.
When the study group and the PES technical committee agree on the scope, purpose, and description, the proposal should be submitted to IEEE SA MyProject for
approval by the technical committee for consideration by IEEE SA New Standards Committee (NesCom) and final approval by IEEE SASB.
Request Revision: Ask IEEE SA to provide feedback to the proposer with recommendations for revision before resubmission to IEEE PES for reconsideration
The proposing council and its study group will review the feedback and consider if/how the proposal will be amended before resubmission to the EPM Committee.
Partially in Scope: Inform IEEE SA that the proposal is partially in the scope of one or more IEEE PES Technical committees and that one or more committees is
interested in oversight but only as a Co-Standards Committee
The proposing council and its study group will review the feedback and may submit the proposal to other committees in other societies or councils. Optionally, an
entity proposal could be submitted for review by IEEE SA Corporate Advisory Group (CAG), which can act as a Standards Committee for entity projects. If another
committee or the CAG agrees to act as the Standards Committee, then the IEEE PES committee(s) should be listed as a Co-Standards Committee in the PAR and will
be able to assign an SCR and experts if the PAR is approved by IEEE SASB.
Out of Scope: Inform IEEE SA that the proposal is not in the scope of any IEEE PES Technical committees
The proposing council and its study group will review the feedback and may submit the proposal to other committees in other societies or councils. Optionally, an
entity proposal could be submitted for review by IEEE SA CAG. If another committee or CAG agrees to act as the Standards Committee, IEEE PES will not have
oversight or influence.
In Scope and Reject: Inform IEEE SA that the proposal is in the scope of one or more IEEE PES committees, but the proposal does not warrant an entity standard.
The proposed standard, recommended practice, or guide has a scope of one or more PES committees, but it is one of many possible practices and should be
completed as a technical paper or technical report. The committee(s) should provide supporting information.
T&D Committee Involvement in Entity Project Draft & Review
After recommendation by NesCom and final approval by IEEE SA Standards Board, the
working group can begin draft development. The working group reports to the IEEE
PES T&D Committee.
The IEEE PES T&D Committee will delegate management of the project to the
Technical Subcommittee that agreed to take oversight during the EPM Proposal
Review Process.
Responsibilities of the Technical Subcommittee:
Appoint a Standards Committee Representative (SCR) and optional Technical
Experts to Provide Technical Review during Drafting
Review and Approve PAR Modifications and Extensions
Complete a Procedural Review after the Working Group has an Approved Draft
for SA Ballot.
IEEE SA Standards Development Methods

IEEE SA Entity Project Roles
Voting Members
Voting membership status is maintained through consistent participation at meetings and through Working Group votes.
Each voting entity has 1 vote.
If a designated representative (DR) or a designated representative alternate (DRA) representing an entity misses two consecutive meetings or two
consecutive Working Group letter ballots, its voting privilege may be revoked.
A non-voting member becomes a voting member by attending 2 of the last 4 meetings and upon sending a request for voting status to the Working
Group Chair prior to the next meeting.
Observers
Entity nonmembers may observe IEEE SA entity standards working group meetings, obtain read-only access to IEEE repositories of IEEE SA entity
standards working group email communications and documentation, and may speak at IEEE SA entity standards working group meetings at the
discretion of the working group chair.
An entity can represent either itself or another entity’s interest in an entity working group.
Note: an entity acting as an observer does not need to be an Entity Member of IEEE SA.
Standards Committee Representative
Each Standards Committee responsible for the entity project is permitted to send a designated Standards Committee Representative (SCR) to
meetings of that entity-based working group in a non-voting role.
Technical Experts
If approved via working group vote, an entity or individual can be invited to attend up to three working group meetings as an outside expert.
