5月29日上午，互联网上相关邮件曝出IEEE禁止华为员工作为旗下期刊杂志的编辑和审稿人。但作为IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems 主编的王飞跃则在自己的博客上表示了对于这封邮件来源不明的疑惑，与他熟识的IEEE其他主编也都没有接到过来自IEEE官方的正式通知，他认为这封信件很可能来自于IEEE旗下的某个学会，并不一定代表IEEE官方的立场。
昨天，IEEE在官方网站对此事发布声明，称美国贸易限令对全球IEEE会员影响轻微。
IEEE致力于向其会员、志愿者和整个专业技术组织提供广阔的学术活动平台和帮助；在提供这些服务时，（作为一个在纽约注册的非政治性、非营利组织）IEEE必须遵守美国及其他地区管辖权内规定的法律义务，遵守这些法规能保护IEEE及其志愿者与全体会员。
IEEE将针对近期美国出口管制条例（以下简称“EAR”）的增加名单做出回应，同时进一步阐释EAR对全球范围内（包括中国地区）IEEE会员的影响。
2019年5月16日星期四，负责管理和执行 EAR的美国商务部工业和安全局（简称“BIS”）将华为技术有限公司及其68个附属公司（在以下段落中统称为“华为”）加入限制名单。见EAR第744部分的第4号补充内容。违反EAR的行为将受到重大的民事或刑事处罚，包括罚款或监禁。
一直以来，IEEE致力于向其会员，志愿者和整个专业技术组织提供广阔的学术活动平台和帮助。其中，IEEE每年在全球举办1900余场专业技术会议，并在IEEE
Xplore
®
上提供超过480万份文献资料。而这些服务始终保持对所有会员开放，无论他们来自任何企业。
在提供这些服务时，（作为一个在纽约注册的非政治性，非营利组织）IEEE必须遵守美国及其他地区管辖权内规定的法律义务。遵守这些法规能保护IEEE及其志愿者与全体会员。
相关美国政府的法规限制了华为公司及其员工无法参与IEEE一些通常不向公众开放的活动，包括一部分的出版物的同行评议和编辑过程，而IEEE需要合规。
然而，所有IEEE会员，包括华为员工，都可以继续正常保持IEEE个人及企业会员资格，并行使投票权；正常订阅、访问IEEE的数字图书馆并阅读IEEE其他出版资料及文献；正常提交技术论文并正常进入发表审核流程；正常参加并出席IEEE赞助的学术会议及活动，并可以赞助或接受IEEE的奖项。与华为有关的会员还可以正常参加商务、后勤和其他会议，包括参与学术大会的策划。
华为及其员工可以继续成为IEEE标准协会的成员，包括正常获得或行使会员的投票权；正常参加IEEE标准制定会议，提交新的标准提案，参与标准技术提案的公开讨论。
如果美国政府对EAR在同行评审方面的应用做出进一步阐释，IEEE将进行相应的调整。
我们为IEEE全球的会员在世界各地开展的工作而感到自豪。IEEE将继续致力于推动技术创新与进步，为人类社会谋福祉。
Compliance with U.S. Trade Restrictions Should have Minimal Impact on IEEE Members Around the World
IEEE would like to clarify our response to recent additions to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and what they mean to IEEE members worldwide, including those in China.
On Thursday, May 16, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), which administers and enforces the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) specifically added Huawei Technology Ltd. and 68 of its affiliates (referred to collectively as “Huawei” in the following paragraphs) to the BIS “Entity List” found in Supplement No. 4 to EAR Part 744. Violations of the EAR carry significant civil or criminal penalties, including fines or prison sentences.
IEEE offers a wide range of activities and benefits for its members, volunteers and the wider technical community, including sponsoring more than 1,900 annual conferences and events worldwide and providing access to over 4.8 million publications on IEEE Xplore®. These services remain open to all, no matter their employer.
In providing these services (as a non-political, not-for-profit organization registered in New York) IEEE must comply with its legal obligations under the laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. Compliance with these regulations protects IEEE, our volunteers, and our members.
IEEE complies with U.S. government regulations which restrict the ability of the listed Huawei companies and their employees to participate in certain activities that are not generally open to the public. This includes certain aspects of the publication peer review and editorial process.
However, all IEEE members, including those employed by Huawei, can continue to participate in individual membership, corporate membership and voting rights; subscribe to and access IEEE’s digital library and other publication products; submit technical papers for publication; participate in and present at IEEE-sponsored meetings and conferences, and may sponsor and accept an IEEE award. Members affiliated with Huawei may also participate in business, logistics, and other meetings including those related to conference planning.
Huawei and its employees can continue to be a member of the IEEE Standards Association, including earning or exercising the voting rights of membership; attend IEEE standards development meetings, submit new proposals for standards, and participate and comment in public discussions of standards technology proposals.
Should the U.S. government clarify the application of the EAR with respect to peer review we will further advise the IEEE community.
IEEE is proud of the work our members do all over the world and we are committed to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

本人声明
：作为
IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems
主编，本人至今沒有收到IEEE关于华为的来信。当然，收到也不可能执行。相反，欢迎华为职员投稿并参与编辑部。
本文今天上午应《知识分子》邀请而写，现在他们决定不登，因此存于个人博客，做一个纪念。
昨天（2019年5月29日）中午开会时，看到微信中关于“IEEE限制华为相关专家参与审稿” 的消息，还称“学术圈炸了”，“AI学界抗议”等等。我问了边上几位国际国内AI界的领袖，大家茫然不知所云。
细看微信，起因是一封貌似由IEEE官方给所有IEEE刊物主编的信引发的，该信要求“不能再请华为的同事做审稿员了。如果现在华为的同事手上刚好有被分配的论文，请建议他们找其他人代替一下……”
我忙问身边一位IEEE刊物主编，他说不知道，再查我的邮件，作为现任主编的自己也没有收到，又问了微信上三位华人主编和欧美两位非华人主编，还有一位负责出版的西班牙副会长，大家异口同声：没有收到！
接下来， 我收到许多过去我在美国时同事的信，问我这是怎么回事，都对此信的真实性产生怀疑，特别是一看此信，就不是以英语为母语的人写的。当然，这一点也许不应成为怀疑的理由，因为IEEE里英语非母语的人太多了。
