the first 2 1/2 paragraphs:
"On Thursday, May 16, 2019, the US Department of Commerce applied export control restrictions to Huawei Technology Ltd and 68 of its affiliates. IEEE issued a statement regarding compliance and stated if the US government clarified the application of the US Export Administration Regulations with respect to peer review IEEE would provide an update to the IEEE community.
"IEEE has received the requested clarification from the US Department of Commerce on the applicability of these export control restrictions to IEEE's publication activities. Based on this new information, employees of Huawei and its affiliates may participate as peer reviewers and editors in our publication process. All IEEE members, regardless of employer, can continue to participate in all of the activities of the IEEE.
"Our initial, more restrictive approach was motivated solely by our desire to protect our volunteers and our members from legal risk. With the clarification received, this risk has been addressed. * * *
My comment: There is no need to read the rest, as the quotation is self-explanatory.
