You are expected to attend meetings; and review, comment and vote on documents. In the US, ANSI sponsors the IEC TAGs.

These committees would include, but not limited to, IEC Technical Committees, Working Groups and ANSI Standards Committees. My question is extremely general since I am trying to gather any and all information on this process. I am sure that many members of this forum are involved in various committees that are responsible for creating standards. Hopefully, you can shed some light on this issue. All responses are greatly appreciated.
