> Due to the concurrence of the initial deadline and the holidays, SASB has extended the deadline for comments from the public on standards for industries in the Technology & Communications sector. Those providing comments should keep in mind that the proposed disclosure standards are intended to be integrated in standard filings of publicly-traded companies, such as the Form 10-K. As such, they reflect auditable information that is likely to be material to investors and can be disclosed in a cost-effective manner.
>  
> The standards have been developed based on extensive evidence-based research and significant, balanced input from more than 220 corporations, investors and other stakeholders (representing $2.3T assets under management and $1.9T market capitalization) in our Industry Working Groups. The public comment period is the next step in finalizing the standards. They will then be reviewed by SASB's independent Standards Council, finalized and issued for use by companies in the sector in March 2014.
>  
> The Technology & Communications sector includes the following industries:
> Electronic Manufacturing Services & Original Design Manufacturing
> Software & IT Services
> Hardware
> Semiconductors
> Telecommunications
> Internet Media & Services

> All comments received, as well as SASB's response to each comment, will be posted publicly as part of our open and transparent process.
