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.
