INCITS has created a new membership category called Emeritus. It is
documented in the RD-2 at
http://www.incits.org/rd2/main.htm.
I've pasted this section below.

4.2.3.3.4 Emeritus Members
The Emeritus membership category rewards individuals for their
extensive contribution to standards activities and allows INCITS to call
on their vast history and talent for continuity following their
retirement.
Nominees for appointment as an Emeritus Member shall have served on an
INCITS TC, TG or SG for a minimum of 10 years, and shall have made
significant contributions to standards efforts. They must no longer be a
representative of a dues-paying member of the committee.
A nomination for appointment as an Emeritus Member shall be made either
by motion of the sponsoring subgroup or the Secretariat. The
recommendation may be proposed once the individual meets the above
requirements and should identify a short history of the contribution made
by the individual. Such recommendations shall be forwarded to the INCITS
Executive Board, which shall consider approval in a regularly
meeting.
All Emeritus memberships are non-voting, non-dues-paying membership
established in relation to a specific TC, TG or SG. Emeritus Members may
attend meetings, speak, and submit contributions as an individual subject
matter expert. Emeritus members may receive all electronically available
subgroup documents, including meeting notices, draft agendas and minutes;
other documents are not required to be distributed to Emeritus Members.
Emeritus Members shall not have the right to hold any office in INCITS or
to participate in Executive Board activities (including its subsidiary
boards). Individuals appointed as Emeritus Member shall continue to hold
their Emeritus membership as long as all requirements noted above are
met, and as approved by the Executive Board; an Emeritus Member may
resign their positions as described in Section 4.2.5, Resignation of
Membership.
Emeritus Members shall not count in any calculations for quorum or
subgroup voting. A subgroup's membership roster shall identify Emeritus
Members. Each subgroup Chairman shall list all Emeritus Members as a part
of the subgroup's Annual Report.
