As a leading organization dedicated to promoting the use of standards, a knowledge of standardization, and the advancement of standards professionals, SES has submitted its positional response to this survey, available for viewing here.  Anyone interested in submitting their own survey response is welcome to send an email to donpurcell@strategicstandards.com by June 30, 2009.
