Proposal for a fourth Standards session

1. A subject area I was planning to address myself, so let’s pool resources. That’s a nice landscape, but like planet Earth, there are lots of different types of terrain, and I think there might be a few others to consider. With that in mind I’d like to propose a fourth session and I’m happy for any of the other Moderators, or anyone else, to join in. <br />My thinking is that although the NSTIC Steering/Management body shouldn’t be a Standards Development Organisation, it sure needs to be a Standards Management Organization, which is what the proposed 3 scenarios seem to be aligned towards. I also think that we need to have a broader landscape – the topics identified (and I know that is not an absolute list) are mostly quite focused on discrete functionality or technology. I’d like to address some broader issues - in fact I’d suggest that a substantial part of the ‘Frameworks’ component in Session 2 is re-located into Session 4<br />SessionTopicsStuffModerator/scribesStandards ManagementRoles for NSTIC managementRichard Wilsher (Zygma)Assurance Frameworks/LevelsKantara, SAFE-BioPharma, ISO, ITU-T, …Standards generationWho should / shouldn’t?
