Standards bodies, industry associations and the like are multi-country organizations. No single country should be able to prevent others from participating in such organizations. IEEE today and a few days ago the SD card and WiFi alliance banning Huawei seem to ignore the views of the members from the multitude of other countries who are also members of those orgs. Egregious violations of some written or unwritten code of conduct needs to be handled by multi-lateral institutions. For lack of a better organization, some wing of the UN perhaps?
- rememberdeath 7y agoJust wanted to add that IEEE is much more than a standards body. Lot's of conferences are held by IEEE.
- astatine 7y agoOh yes. I am an IEEE member of reasonably long standing and this just complicates things for everyone, particularly for IEEE chapters in other countries where Huawei may have a presence and are active participants locally.
- xucheng 7y agoIt gets more complicated when considering Huawei is also a major sponsor to a variety of research conferences, open source projects, etc. I wonder what is ACM's stand on this?
