INCITS Executive Board Participation
Membership on the INCITS Executive Board is open to all organizations that consider themselves to be directly or materially affected by the development or use of standards-based information technology products and services.

Applicants shall state their reasons for interest and their organization's interest category.

• business (large/small businesses and consultants)
• non-business (government and major/minor SDOs)

The current membership comes from a wide array of interested participants including computer systems and semiconductor manufacturers, communications carriers, systems integrators, software publishers, companies that use information technology, information-sharing organizations, user groups, academia, and government agencies.

INCITS Executive Board meetings are held four times a year across the U.S. Members are encouraged to be active. INCITS Executive Board members also are required to cast organizational votes on letter ballots affecting standards development.  The membership cycle begins each December 1 and extends through each November 30.  Executive Board members shall pay the designed service fee(s).

INCITS Technical Committee and Task Group Participation
Participation in INCITS subgroups (Technical Committees and Task Groups) is open to all organizations, currently over 900, affected by the scope and project(s) of a particular subgroup and who pay the designed service fee(s).  The membership cycle begins each December 1 and extends through each November 30. Members, who must have technical expertise in the relevant field of technology, meet regularly to develop draft American National Standards or work on associated International Standards. INCITS and its subgroups maintain close liaisons with other national standards organizations dealing with related information technology applications.  Participation in an INCITS Subgroup is separate from an Executive Board membership.
