Pci Sig
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
THE PCI-SIG IS THE INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION CHARTERED TO DEVELOP AND MANAGE THE PCI STANDARD. WITH OVER 800 MEMBERS, THE PCI-SIG EFFECTIVELY PLACES OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PCI SPECIFICATIONS IN THE HANDS OF THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY. A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPRISED OF NINE PEOPLE, EACH ELECTED BY THE MEMBERSHIP, LEADS THE PCI-SIG. THE PCI-SIG IS CHARTERED TO: (1) MAINTAIN THE FORWARD COMPATIBILITY OF ALL PCI REVISIONS OR ADDENDA. (2) CONTRIBUTE TO BOTH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PCI AS AN INDUSTRY-WIDE STANDARD AND TO THE TECHNICAL LONGEVITY OF THE PCI ARCHITECTURE. (3) MAINTAIN THE PCI SPECIFICATION AS A SIMPLE, EASY-TO- IMPLEMENT, STABLE TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS THE SPIRIT OF ITS DESIGN. THE PCI-SIG FULFILLS ITS CHARTER BY CONTINUING TO PROMOTE INNOVATION AND EVOLVE THE PCI STANDARD TO MEET THE INDUSTRY'S NEEDS. THROUGH INTEROPERABILITY TESTING, TECHNICAL SUPPORT, SEMINARS AND INDUSTRY EVENTS, THE PCI-SIG ENABLES ITS MEMBERS TO GENERATE COMPETITIVE AND QUALITY PRODUCTS.
