As the tech-standards leader at home and around the world, INCITS is the guiding force for global and U.S. information and communications technology standards. Domestically, we create new American National Standards and, globally, we serve as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO/IEC JTC 1 - a premier international tech standards-setting organization.

This leadership role gives our members direct entry into the U.S. and global standards arena, and provides us with a strong platform to design the foundation for globally accepted, highly interoperable products.

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

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 and consortia, academia, and government agencies.

Members are encouraged to be active. INCITS Executive Board meetings are held four times a year across the U.S. INCITS Executive Board members enjoy the right to participate and vote on key ICT standards and represent the United States in significant, world-wide meetings among all leading national bodies developing ICT standards.
