The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) is an internationally-recognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTE’s Engineering Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTE’s Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in its Standards Operations Manual.

This Standards Administrative Guideline forms an adjunct to the use and interpretation of the SMPTE Standards Operations Manual. In the event of a conflict, the Operations Manual shall prevail.
This
Administrative
Guideline
sets
forth
various
details
in
support
of
the

Operations
Manual,
Section

The purpose of this separation is as follows:
The Standards Operations Manual states that the Director of Engineering maintains this AG. This task may be delegated.
As
the
information
in
the
tables
is
a
matter
of
factual
accuracy
only
and
does
not
alter
the
operation
of
the
Standards
program
or
the
Standards
Committee,
the
tables
themselves
in
all
the
parts
of
this
AG
are
maintained
analogous
to
an
“administrative
register”
"administrative
register"
-
they
are
updated
from
time
to
time
and
posted
without
Standards
Committee
approval.
Changes
to
non-tabular
parts
of
this
document
require
Standards
Committee
approval.
The
following
procedures
shall
guide
the
maintenance
of
the
tables:
New organizations should be added when either:
Organizations should be deleted when either: 1) a formal liaison agreement terminates; or 2) there has been no communication with the organization in at least two years. The latter does not apply to organizations with which we have a formal liaison agreement in effect.
Information should be updated periodically as needed when appointments and contact information details change.
The Standards Committee shall be notified in advance of the following events:
Table 1 lists the current Organizations, Delegates and Rapporteurs.
