Does a company have to pay a fee or dues (one time or annual) to participate?
The IEEE-SA Board of Governors approved a required US $4000 annualized fee per organization (entity) participant each year for the life of an entity-based project. An entity-based project is one where the persons involved represent organizations, companies, governmental bodies, etc. This is distinct from the individual method of participation. The US $4000 fee covers basic assistance to facilitate the start-up of the project, as well as general oversight during the development of the project.
