OpenStandOpenStandPrinciples for the modern paradigm for standards development

How It StartedHow It Started

August 29, 2012IEEE, ISOC, IAB, IETF, W3C formally drafted and jointly affirmed the OpenStand Principles in an effort to mobilize ongoing, global support for the application of open, market-driven principles in standards and technology development.

OpenStand: OpenStand: Five Core PrinciplesFive Core Principles

Respectful cooperation between standards organizationsWhereby each respects the autonomy, integrity, processes and intellectual property rules of the others

Adherence to the fundamental parameters of standards developmentIncluding due process, broad consensus, transparency, balance and universal openness

Collective empowerment to strive to develop standards that are chosen & 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•Contribute to the creation of benefit for humanity

Availability of standards specifications•Made globally accessible to all for implementation & deployment•Defined procedures to develop specifications that can be implemented under fair terms•Ensuring a broad affordability of the outcome of the standardization process (openness of input & output)

Voluntary adoption by the standards marketThe success of a standard is determined by the market.

OpenStandOpenStand Principles Principles

Support Global, Market-Driven Standards Development

• The economics of global markets and societal needs, fueled by technological innovation, drive global deployment of standards that are built in a consensual manner, from the bottom-up.

• These standards help ensure strong integration, interoperability, and increased synergies along the innovation chain across national and regional boundaries.
