More than that.

JEDEC (Solid State Technology Association) was established in 1958 as part of the Electronics Industry Association Alliance (EIA) to set standards for the emerging semiconductor industry. In 1999, JEDEC became an independent association. The development of voluntary standards that are open, accessible and can be completed quickly remains JEDEC's core business. JEDEC committee leads industry standard setting in a wide range of technical fields, including joint standard setting with other organizations. JEDEC has nearly 300 member companies, including almost all the top 100 companies in the industry.
These multinational industry standards organizations originally held a technology neutral position, but after the U.S. Department of Commerce included Huawei in the "entity list" on May 15, they quickly announced the suspension of Huawei's membership.
A person familiar with the matter told surging news reporters that after the order of the U.S. Department of Commerce came out, the emergency response of various associations was to suspend Huawei's membership, sort out the relevant situation, and ensure that Huawei's membership will be restored one after another when there is no problem.
