The ATIS ANS Report includes newly proposed Standards, Standards that have been proposed for letter ballot, and Standards that have been recently published.
The standardization process is governed by the ATIS Operating Procedures, which have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ATIS strives to maintain diverse participation among industry segments (Consumer, General Interest, or Producer). In particular, ATIS is seeking participation from specific interest categories for the following committees:
- NRSC, PTSC, and WTSC-producers and general interest
- STEP and SYNC-users and general interest
Producers-An entity that produces or supplies communications equipment or infrastructure for the provision of communications services. Examples include various types of testing, monitoring, routing, and central office equipment manufacturers, software developers, etc.
Users-An entity that uses communications equipment or infrastructure and provides services to an end user. Examples include incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), interexchange carriers (IXCs), wireless service providers, etc.
General Interest-An entity that is neither Producers nor Users. This category includes, but is not limited to, regulatory agencies (state and federal), researchers, other organizations and associations, and educators.
If your organization is affected by the work in ATIS’ Committees or Forums, and you are interested in engaging as a member of our consensus bodies for the development of standards, contact Rich Moran, ATIS Membership Director to apply for membership.
