To INCITS/T11, INCITS/T11.2 and INCITS/T11.3 Members –
As you know, the U.S. government has recently added a number of companies located outside of the U.S. to the
BIS Entity List. None of those newly listed entities are members of INCITS. One member is a U.S. subsidiary of the newly-listed entities. As this is a fairly unprecedented situation for an ANSI accredited standards-setting body,
INCITS legal counsel is working on the matter to determine whether this change to the entities list affects the activities of INCITS.
We will share that guidance as soon as it is available, but, ultimately, each member will have to make its own determination about its own compliance and participation.
We understand that the Technical Committee, INCITS/T11 and its Task Groups, INCITS/T11.2 and INCITS/T11.3 are scheduled to meet next week,
possibly before formal guidance is available from INCITS. Participation at the meetings should be based on the member’s discretion
according to the needs and interests their company and participants should seek legal guidance from their own legal counsel on these matters.
