shall be received prior to including the names in the draft).

membership:

Figure 1—Example of working group list
In the working group roster, full first names are preferred over initials. Titles (Dr., Ms., P.E.) shall not be
included with proper names. If entities have participated in the development of the standard, a list of the
entities shall be included immediately following the working group roster.
The list of voting members of the balloting group, which is usually provided by the IEEE Standards
Department, is included in the introduction. Only the balloters (individuals or entities) who vote are listed in
the standard; however, balloters may have voted for approval, disapproval, or abstention. The following
paragraph shall be placed in the front matter of all IEEE drafts, above the list of voting members of the
balloting group, and shall reflect the type of ballot that was conducted (individual, entity, or mixed):
The following <individual/entity> members of the balloting committee voted on this standard. Balloters
may have voted for approval, disapproval, or abstention.
If footnotes are necessary in an introduction, they shall be noted with lowercase letters (a, b, c, d, etc.).
9.4 Acknowledgments
In the past, some sponsors have included special acknowledgments in the front matter of their published
standards. Permission shall be requested from the Manager, Standards Publishing before including such
acknowledgments in the draft.
9.5 Table of contents
A table of contents listing the main clauses (identified by one digit) and the first series of subclauses under
each clause (identified by two digits) should be supplied. The next series of subclauses (identified by three
digits) may be included when deemed appropriate by the IEEE Standards project editor and the working
group. If included, the table of contents shall be generated automatically, and not composed manually. Lists
of tables and figures should not be included in the table of contents. Only the appropriate clauses,
subclauses, and normative and/or informative annexes should be listed. (See Annex B for a sample table of
contents.) All titles in the table of contents should be concise, and may be abbreviated versions of the titles
within the document. It should be noted that tools for automatic generation within the table of contents may
not support titles longer than one line.
