>The Executive Board of the National Committee for Information Technology
>Standards announced today that it has changed its name, replacing "National"
>with "InterNational" in 2002 to reflect its agenda of developing
>market-driven standards with global relevance and reach.  The conversion to
>the new name will unfold during the first two quarters of 2002 as the change
>is implemented on the website (http://www.incits.org) and on the standards
>developed or adopted by INCITS.  The NCITS catalog of standards contains
>information technology standards that were developed by X3 (as INCITS was
>known from 1961 - 1996) and standards that were developed in ISO/IEC Joint
>Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1). INCITS currently has 612 published standards:
>56 NCITS standards (published from 1997 - 2001), 202 X3 standards, and 354
>ANSI/ISO standards.
>
>The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) is
>the forum of choice for information technology developers, producers and
>users for the creation and maintenance of formal de jure IT standards.
>INCITS is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and
>operates under its rules, which are designed to ensure that voluntary
>standards are developed by the consensus of directly and materially affected
>interests.
>
>More than 2,000 individuals from 13 countries participate in INCITS' 52
>Technical subgroups. They represent consulting groups; financial
>institutions; government agencies; hardware and software vendors;
>manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, and many other industries;
>universities; and user groups.
>
>INCITS is sponsored by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), a
>trade association representing the leading U.S. providers of information
>technology products and services. ITI members employ more than one million
>people in the United States and in 2000, their revenues exceeded $668
>billion worldwide.
