Globally Respected Standards Process 8 Consensus Due Process Openness Right of Appeal Balance Adheres to the WTO/TBT Principles Based on rigorous peer- review Reflects the collective consensus view of participants Results in high quality globally relevant technical standards
Global Collaboration ISO/IEEE PSDO Agreement address adoptions and joint development work between the ISO and IEEE –Currently covers the following areas: ISO TC 204 — Intelligent transportation ISO TC 215 — Health Informatics ISO/IEC JTC 1 — All subcommittees 9 IEC/IEEE Dual Logo Agreement was signed in 2012 to approve IEEE Standards are eligible for adoption by IEC The IEEE is a Sector Member of –ITU-R (Radiocommunication) –ITU-T (Standardization) –ITU-D (Development) –Example technical areas Radio regulatory activities Mobile broadband wireless access ETSI and IEEE-SA renewed their MOU in November –Information sharing –Coordinating work on standards
IEEE-SA Standards Lifecycle Supporting the full lifecycle for standards and related activities 10 Pre- standards activities Accelerated standards activities Post- standards activities
Exploration Efficient, economical environment for building consensus Incubate new standards and related services Quick and cost-effective process Produces "fast-track" materials, such as proposals for standards, white papers, peer-reviewed specifications, guides, position papers and other specialized tools Hone and refine thinking on rapidly changing technologies 11 IEEE-SA Industry Connections offers a flexible framework
IEEE Standards 12 Aerospace Electronics Broadband Over Power Lines Broadcast Technology Clean Technology Cognitive Radio Design Automation Electromagnetic Compatibility Green Technology LAN/MAN Medical Device Communications Nanotechnology National Electrical Safety Code Organic Components Portable Battery Technology Power Electronics Power & Energy Radiation/Nuclear Reliability Transportation Technology Test Technology Span a broad spectrum of technologies Examples:
IEEE Conformity Assessment Program Bridges IEEE standards development activities with proven testing and certification frameworks Encompasses all aspects of –Conformity assessment-self declaration –Third-party assessment/testing –Interoperability Help accelerate market adoption of new products and technologies 13
OpenStand: The Paradigm IEEE, IAB, IETF, Internet Society and W3C documented a set of principles for a modern or market driven paradigm of global, open and bottom up standards In this paradigm economics of global markets and societal needs, fueled by technological innovation, drive global deployment of consensual, bottom up standards to help ensure strong integration, interoperability and increased synergies along the innovation chain across national and regional boundaries Embraces communities that are grounded in universal openness, leverage and build upon knowledge for innovation and produce standards in a process that is open to the society of world experts without restrictions 14
OpenStand: The Principles Respectful cooperation between standards organizations, whereby each respects the autonomy, integrity, processes and intellectual property rules of the others Adherence to the fundamental parameters of standards development, including due process, broad consensus, transparency, balance and universal openness Collective empowerment to strive to develop standards that are chosen and defined based on technical merit, as judged by the contributed expertise of an open and global experts community; provide global interoperability, scalability, stability, and resiliency; enable global competition; serve as building blocks for further innovation; and contribute to the creation of benefit for humanity Availability of standards specifications; they are made globally accessible to all for implementation and deployment; moreover, the proponents of this paradigm have defined procedures to develop specifications that can be implemented under fair terms, ensuring thus a broad affordability of the outcome of the standardization process (openness of input and output) Voluntary adoption of the standards by the market and that their success is determined by the market 15
OpenStand: The Initiative Multi-faceted, multi-dimensional Strives to gain global awareness and recognition for standards and standards development processes based on the core principles Embraces technical innovation via methods that ensure direct, open participation and that produce standards without borders and without limits Advocates for increased openness and inclusivity Encourages global cooperation and openness for innovation, market growth and the advancement of technology for the global benefit of humanity Entities and individuals can: –Show support for and commitment to the principles –Promote the value of open standards and open standards development processes and their impact –Leverage the principles and paradigm in discussions, negotiations and relationships as essential tools for technology advancement to address global issues and to help ensure universal growth and social progress 16
