Bylaws
The IVI Foundation has adopted formal Bylaws to
govern its activities. You download the document in either
pdf format or
Word format. Below is a short synopsis of the IVI
Foundation operating rules and meeting conventions:
- Member companies can send as many
representatives as desired to committee meetings
- At Technical Committee meetings, each company
gets one vote regardless of the number of representatives
- Member meetings are held in person, or by
phone conference call
- Currently member meetings are held 3-4 times
per year, they usually last 2-3 days with multiple tracks and an agenda is
published in advance. Individuals can choose to attend only the portions of
the meeting that interest them
- Attendees are charged nominal meeting fees to
cover the cost of meeting space, continental breakfast and lunch
- Other general communications are conducted via
email
Operating
Procedures
IVI's day-to-day activities are governed by IVI
specification 1.2, Operating Procedures, available on the Specifications
page. This document describes IVI
Foundation rules and practices for conducting business. All discussions and
business conducted in any forum within the foundation conforms to these
procedures.
In general the foundation
bylaws are the ultimate authority on foundation procedures. If they are
found to conflict in any way with anything appearing in the Operating
Procedures, the
bylaws take precedence.
Where procedures are not defined by the Operating
Procedures document or the bylaws, the IVI Foundation uses Robert’s Rules of
order (newly revised).
