ITI Initiatives
ITI's Environmental Leadership Council (the ELC) is the preeminent industry voice for key domestic environmental policy. ELC members have access to domestic advocacy and compliance assistance in the areas of electronics recycling, environmentally preferable purchasing and materials selection. The ELC is a separate membership within the Information Technology Industry Council's Environment & Sustainability division that allows companies to engage in certain domestic, product-related environmental issues without joining ITI. The Environmental Leadership Council (ELC) at ITI represents roughly 70 of the principal manufacturers of information technology equipment, wireless and consumer electronics devices, and other electronic and high-tech products and systems.
The Digital
Energy Solutions Campaign (DESC) brings together information and communications technology
(ICT) companies and associations, non-governmental organizations, customers and
other stakeholders who recognize the enabling role that ICT plays in improving
our environment and driving long-term economic growth. DESC was launched
in 2008 and in 2010 was moved to the Information Technology Industry Council to help advance the
Campaign’s work and is separate membership option.
DESC is committed to achieving a common
objective: advancing policies that help drive sustainable economic growth
through ICT-enabled energy efficiency and clean energy innovation across every
sector of our nation’s economy.

Four leading high tech trade
associations have joined forces to create the High Tech Spectrum Coalition
(HTSC) to advocate for legislation that would give the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) authority to hold voluntary incentive auctions, as called for
in the FCC’s March 2010 National Broadband Plan (NBP) and President Obama’s
June 2010 spectrum memo.
HTSC members include the
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the Information Technology
Industry Council (ITI), the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), and the
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
ITI regularly publishes
informational materials to assist in our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and
Administration offices. All materials

The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template®, or VPAT®, is
a tool used to document a product's conformance with the accessibility
standards under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
The purpose of the VPAT is to assist Federal contracting
officials and other buyers in making preliminary assessments regarding the
availability of commercial "Electronic and Information Technology"
products and services with features that support accessibility.

The ITI (CBEMA) Curve was published by Technical Committee 3
(TC3) of the Information Technology Industry Council (formerly known as the
Computer & Business Equipment Manufacturer's Association).
The ITI (CBEMA) Curve and the Application Note describe an
AC input voltage envelope which typically can be tolerated (no interruption in
function) by most Information Technology Equipment (ITE).
The Curve and this Application Note comprise a single
document and are not to be considered separately from each other. They are not
intended to serve as a design specification for products or AC distribution
systems. The Curve and this Application Note describe both steady-state and
transitory conditions.
