 ADAPSO !

 https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102658159

The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), formerly the Association of Data Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO), was a leading industry trade group for information technology companies.
 The Association's membership contained most of the world's major Information and communications technology (ICT) firms, accounting for over 90% of ICT goods and services sold in North America.

Organizational meetings of what was initially called the Data Actuating Technical Association (DATA) began in 1960.
In 1961, the Association of Data Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO) was founded as a "service bureau" trade association, and formally incorporated in 1962.
 organized user-centered "Management Symposiums" that discussed the industry, pricing, and ethics. ADAPSO's industry surveys were taken up by Peter Cunningham's INPUT. ADAPSO moved to the Washington, DC area in 1978 to be closer to government policymakers and advocates. ADAPSO was renamed ITAA in 1991.

 In March 2007 ITAA President Phil Bond expressed his desire in merging ITAA with another high tech trade association.
 https://web.archive.org/web/20090423081736/http://www.itaa.org/newsroom/vpoint.cfm?ID=49
 On January 17, 2008, ITAA announced that it had agreed to so-called "merger of equals" with the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association (GEIA), and that the combined association would retain the ITAA name.Until earlier in the year GEIA had been an affiliate of EIA (a trade association formerly known as the Electronic Industries Alliance  https://web.archive.org/web/20100301055711/http://www.eia.org/)
 EIA has been very financially successful, unlike ITAA.

 The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA; until 1997 Electronic Industries Association) was a standards and trade organization composed as an alliance of trade associations for electronics manufacturers in the United States. They developed standards to ensure the equipment of different manufacturers was compatible and interchangeable. The EIA ceased operations on February 11, 2011, but the former sectors continue to serve the constituencies of EIA
 https://web.archive.org/web/20110529091409/http://www.ecaus.org/eia/site/index.html (The Electronic Industries Alliance ceased operations on February 11, 2011.)


 In 1924, 50 radio manufacturers in Chicago formed a trade group called the Associated Radio Manufacturers. This organization was designed to control the licensing of the large number of radio patents so that each member could have access to all the relevant patents necessary to build radio transmitters, antennas and receivers. Over time, new electronic technologies brought new members, non-manufacturer members, and name changes.

Name chronological order:
1924 - Associated Radio Manufacturers
1924 - Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA)[2]
1950 - Radio Television Manufacturers Association (RTMA)
1953 - Radio Electronics Television Manufacturers Association (RETMA)
1957 - Electronic Industries Association (EIA)
1997 - Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA)
The organization's headquarters were in Arlington, Virginia. The EIA divided its activities into the following sectors:

ECA – Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association
JEDEC – JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, former Joint Electron Device Engineering Council
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JEDEC
GEIA – (now part of TechAmerica), Government Electronics and Information Technology Association
http://www.geia.org/ // https://www.infoworld.com/article/2653680/tech-trade-groups-talk-merger.html
TIA – Telecommunications Industry Association
CEA – Consumer Electronics Association
The EIA announced in 2007 that it would be dissolved into its constituent divisions,[2] and transferred operations soon after. The Alliance formally ceased to exist on February 11, 2011.[1] EIA designated ECA to continue to develop standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components under the ANSI-designation of EIA standards. All other electronic components standards will be managed by their respective sectors.

The ECA merged with the National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) in 2011 to form the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA).  However, the EIA standards brand will continue for IP&E standards within ECIA

 The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association is an independent semiconductor engineering trade organization and standardization body.
JEDEC has over 300 members (Alibaba, ABB (Swiss), Foxconn & TSMC (taiwan), IBM, Huawei, BUffalo (Japan), SK Hynix (south korea), Nokia...), including some of the world's largest computer companies. Its scope and past activities includes standardization of part numbers, defining an electrostatic discharge (ESD) standard, and leadership in the lead-free manufacturing transition
 The origin of JEDEC traces back to 1944, when RMA (subsequently renamed EIA) and NEMA established the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) to coordinate vacuum tube type numberings.
In 1958, with the advent of semiconductor technology, the joint JETEC-activity of EIA and NEMA was renamed into Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. NEMA discontinued its involvement in 1979. In the fall of 1999, JEDEC became a separate trade association under the current name, but maintained an EIA alliance, until EIA ceased operations in 2011.

 The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) -  Formation	April 16, 1924; 95 years ago (as Radio Manufacturers Association)
 is a standards and trade organization representing more than 2,200 consumer technology companies[2] in the United States. CTA works to influence public policy, holds events such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and CES Asia, conducts market research, and helps its members and regulators implement technical standards. CTA is led by President and CEO Gary Shapiro.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Technology_Association
 The first CES was held in 1967 in New York City . It was a spinoff from the Chicago Music Show[6], which until then had served as the main event for exhibiting consumer electronics. The event had 17,500 attendees and over 100 exhibitors ; the kickoff speaker was Motorola chairman Bob Galvin. From 1978 to 1994, CES was held twice each year: once in January in Las Vegas known as Winter Consumer Electronics Show (WCES) and once in June in Chicago, known as Summer Consumer Electronics Show. In 1998, the show changed to an annual format with Las Vegas as the location. CES is one of the largest and longest-running trade shows held in Las Vegas, taking up to 17 days to set up, run, and break down

 CES Asia is owned and produced by the International CES (Shanghai) Exhibition Co. Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), and is co-produced by Shanghai Intex Exhibition Co., Ltd (Shanghai Intex).Special co-organizers for CES Asia are the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME) and the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce (CECC). CES Asia serves as a platform for both Chinese and American companies to introduce new products into the Asian marketplace

Gary Shapiro is president and CEO of CTA. Shapiro has worked for CTA since 1979, when he was still a law student. Shapiro is also chairman of the Home Recording Rights Coalition. As chairman of the coalition, Shapiro has testified often before Congress and has helped ensure the growth of the video rental market, VCRs, home computers, and audio- recording equipment, including MP3 technology. Shapiro is also the author of the best- selling book, The Comeback: How Innovation Will Restore the American Dream
( http://www.nvtc.org/about/GaryShapiro.php ( https://archive.org/details/comeback0000shap Dream )
As of September 2018, David Hagan serves as Chairman of the Board.  ( https://www.cta.tech/About/Executive-Board.aspx )

Publications:
i3, CTA's flagship magazine, is published six times a year and focuses on innovation in technology, policy and business as well as the entrepreneurs, industry leaders and startups that grow the consumer technology industry. The magazine has a circulation of 38,600 (print and digital) and has won a number of awards ( https://www.cta.tech/cta/media/i3/PDFs/i3_MediaKit_2019_10-24.pdf )

The CTA Corporate Report is published every year and covers CTA's accomplishments and assesses trends relevant to the consumer electronics industry. ( https://web.archive.org/web/20120628122756/http://cevision.org/index.php/cea-corporate-report/ )

Digital America is the CTA's annual comprehensive report on the state of the consumer electronics industry in the United States. Digital America includes market research, analysis of new and existing technology, industry history, and other detailed information ( https://web.archive.org/web/20120622012749/http://cevision.org/index.php/2011/03/digital-america-2011/ )

Since 1976, the Innovations Design and Engineering Awards has given consumer technology manufacturers and developers an opportunity to have their newest products judged by a panel of designers, engineers and members of the trade press. The winning products are then showcased each year at CES, also produced by CTA
https://web.archive.org/web/20120618190011/http://www.cesweb.org/awards/innovations/default.asp

The CTA maintains a Hall of Fame, to which notable contributors to the field of consumer electronics are named.

CTAPAC is CTA's political action committee. About CTAPAC, CTA says, "The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™ Political Action Committee (CTAPAC) protects your freedom to build and sell consumer technology products."[18] With regard to CEAPAC's funding, CEA says, "CTAPAC is funded solely through voluntary, personal contributions from the executive and administrative personnel of CTA's corporate members — people like you. Corporate contributions are prohibited under federal law."[
https://www.cta.tech/Policy/CTAPAC/Contributing-to-CTAPAC.aspx

CTA originally started as the Radio Manufacturers Association (RMA) in 1924. In 1950, it changed its name to Radio-Television Manufacturers Association (RTMA). In 1953, it changed its name to Radio-Electronics-Television Manufacturers Association (RETMA). It was then the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) from 1957 to 1998, when it became the Electronic Industries Alliance. In 1995, EIA's Consumer Electronics Group (CEG) became the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA). In 1999, President Gary Shapiro announced the trade group's name change from CEMA to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and became an independent sector of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).[The name of CEA was changed to Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in November 2015

With the changing names of the EIA, the naming convention of the standards was also adapted. For example, a standard defining serial communication between computers and modems e.g. was originally drafted as a Recommended Standard, thus the "RS" RS-232. Later it was taken over by the EIA as EIA-232. Later this standard was managed by the TIA and the name was changed to the current TIA-232. Because the EIA was accredited by ANSI to help develop standards in its areas, these standards are often described as e.g. ANSI TIA-232 (or formerly as ANSI EIA/TIA-232). As currently authorized, any ANSI standard designated at ANSI EIA-xxx is developed or managed by ECA (and, in the future, ECIA).

EIA RS-464. Electronic Industries Association. 1981 [December 1979]. p. insert. Recommended Standards are adopted by EIA without regard to whether or not their adoption may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes. By such action, EIA does not assume liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Recommended Standard. This EIA Recommended Standard is considered to have international standardization implications, but there is no known IEC (or ISO) activity in this product area.

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop voluntary, consensus-based industry standards for a wide variety of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) products, and currently represents nearly 400 companies. TIA's Standards and Technology Department operates twelve engineering committees, which develop guidelines for private radio equipment, cellular towers, data terminals, satellites, telephone terminal equipment, accessibility, VoIP devices, structured cabling, data centers, mobile device communications, multimedia multicast, vehicular telematics, healthcare ICT, machine to machine communications, and smart utility networks.

Overall, more than 500 active participants, communications equipment manufacturers, service providers, government agencies, academic institutions, and end-users are engaged in TIA's standards setting process. To ensure that these standards become incorporated globally, TIA is also engaged in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union (UN)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization (UN)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Electrotechnical_Commission

TIA is a participating standards organization of the ITU-T Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) initiative. The GSC has created a Machine-to-Machine Standardization Task Force (MSTF) to foster industry collaboration on standards across different vertical markets, such as finance, e-health, connected vehicles, and utilities.
Legislation
TIA supported the E-LABEL Act (H.R. 5161; 113th Congress), a bill that would direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow manufacturers of electronic devices with a screen to display information required by the agency digitally on the screen rather than on a label affixed to the device. Grant Seiffert argued that "by granting device manufacturers the ability to use e-labels, the legislation eases the technical and logistical burdens on manufactures and improves consumer access to important device information."[

On December 20, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security announced that implementation of Phase 1 would begin on January 20, 2014, which followed a yearlong period of "deferred enforcement". There are four planned phases, three of which apply to areas that affect relatively few U.S. citizens—e.g., DHS headquarters, nuclear power plants, and restricted and semi-restricted federal facilities such as military bases.
On January 8, 2016, DHS issued an implementation schedule for Phase 4, stating that starting January 22, 2018, passengers with a driver's license issued by a state that is not compliant with the REAL ID Act (and has not been granted an extension) will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight. Starting October 1, 2020, every air traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license or another acceptable form of identification (such as a US Passport, U.S. Passport Card, U.S. military card, or DHS trusted traveler card, e.g. NEXUS, SENTRI, etc.) for domestic air travel.[6][7] As of September 2019, 51 states and territories have been certified as compliant, and 5 have been granted extensions

A 2010 study by UCLA's North American Integration and Development Center, an advocacy and research group that focuses on "transnationalism and globalization through action research",
conducting "interdisciplinary research concerning the economic integration process between the United States, Mexico and Canada",
produced two estimates of the income that would be earned by illegal immigrants who would be potentially eligible for the proposed DREAM Act benefits. The first estimate is based on analysis from a study by the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, an organization seeking to "advance the economic mobility and social inclusion of immigrants in the United States",[46] which estimated that 38% of those eligible for the DREAM Act's benefits would actually obtain legal permanent resident status. In that scenario, the NAIDC estimates that DREAM Act beneficiaries would earn $1.4 trillion over a 40-year period. On the other hand, NAIDC estimates that if all those eligible for DREAM Act benefits successfully met the education or military service requirements and obtained legal resident status, they would earn $3.6 trillion over the same 40-year period. How many dollars they would use of available federal, state and local resources over the 40-year period was not estimated
