Power.org Committees
The mission of Power.org is to be the leading ecosystem solutions alliance for key market segments. Power.org companies collaborate to develop, enable, and promote innovative solutions based on Power Architecture.The Power.org Committees are where this mission is being carried out. Our member companies and their representatives actively collaborate in the development of standards and pecifications that the organization will establish. All of our members including our developer-level members are welcome to download the specifications and outputs produced by the committees.
Membership at the Founder, Sponsor, or Participant-level is required if you want to join any of the committees or vote on pending issues and specifications. Click here to learn more about the different levels of participation.
