The group is not a standards organization but rather promotes IP enablement for smart objects and leads the industry on using IP to resolve interoperability issues. The group exists to complement the IETF through various working groups chartered with semantics (meta-information standards across objects), IoT protocols and the analysis of varying standards, and security and privacy.

There are three levels of membership: innovator, which is designated for an organization of fewer than 10 employees; the contributor level, which grants the company access to technical drafts and committees; and finally the promoter, which grants board seats and other perks.
