Re: IEEE misunderstands its role
Interference by the US government in what is essentially an international activity is likely to result in the US being sidelined from standards deliberations
There's nothing here to suggest the IEEE or similar organizations were ever considered when the restrictions were put in place - do you really think Trump would have that kind of foresight? They've simply been caught up by the same rules as everyone else. Nor do I think the IEEE have misunderstood anything either - the standards are a relatively small part of what they do. It's the journals where the bulk of the action is. And yes, by their very nature they are dealing with cutting edge stuff potentially subject to various forms of IP claim.
