The local area network standards are IEEE 802.x sponsored by the
Computer Society's Technical Committee on Computer Communications and
all fall under the 44 or so 802.x committees (Chair - Maris Graube.) 

RSS232C, RSS422, RSS423 are EIA standards.

NuBus (IEEE 1196), VME (IEEE 1014), Multibus-I/II (IEEE 796/1296),
Futurebus (IEEE 896), Floating Point (IEEE 754), S100 Bus (IEEE 696), STD
Bus (IEEE 961) and others are IEEE standards sponsored by the Computer
Society's Microprocessor Standards Subcommittee (which I chair.)

IEEE 488 is sponsored by the IEEE Instrument and Measurement Society.


BTW - I inadverdantly (R)eplied to someone instead of (F)orwarding
with the names and addresses of who in the IEEE to contact about this
as well as some other info.  I would appreciate whoever it was
forwarding it back to the net since I have lost the text and would
rather not regenerate it.  Thanks in advance.
