Legal Guidance •  Anti-Trust Caution

o  Participation must be voluntary, and failure to participate shall not be used to penalize any company.

o  Any standards developed must be voluntary standards. o  There shall be no discussion of prices, allocation of customers or

products, boycotts, refusals to deal or market share. o  If any participant believes the group is drifting toward

impermissible discussion, the topic shall be tabled until the opinion of counsel can be obtained.

o  The recommendations coming out of an IDEA committee, task force, work group… are just that - recommendations. Individual companies remain free to make independent, competitive decisions.



Agenda •  Standards Development Committee Updates •  European Initiative Update - ETIM •  Standards Development Evolution •  IDEA Standards Department Restructure
