  1. What is the role of the national standardization bodies? Massimo Actis Dato, UNINFO Secretary General ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  2. Overview • Set the scene • As it was • As it is • Re-invent the role (What can we do for you, and what can you do for yourselves?) ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  3. Set the scene • Requirements • Competition • Boundary conditions • UNINFO’s standing ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  4. As it was • Role of NSOs • Activity of NSOs • Resources of NSOs • Customers of NSOs ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  5. De jure standardization structure in ICT informatics electronics telecommunications ISO www.iso.com IEC www.iec.ch ITU-TS www.itu.int International level ISO JTC 1 www.jtc1.org ETSI www.etsi.org CEN ISSS www.cenorm.be CENELEC www.cenelec.be European level ICTSB www.ictsb.org ISCTI www.comunicazioni.it/iscti/ UNI-UNINFO www.uninfo.polito.it Associated to UNI CEI www.ceiuni.it National level (Italian) ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  6. Rationale • Strong national bias • Disconnect between Europe and the world • Technical fragmentation ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  7. The change • The drivers • The results • Conclusions ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  8. The drivers • Multinationals (oligopoly versus perfect market) • Technical globalisation ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  9. The results • Consortia • Reduced role of NSOs (no accreditation, no engineering) • No formal stds (TRs, ETSI stds, CWs, fast track) • Fragmentation (e.g. traffic: CEN, ETSI, ISO; Smart Cards: CEN, JTC1, ISO, ETSI; Design for All: ETSI, CEN, CENELEC, ISO, IETF, ITU, W3C) ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  10. Summary • Old model does not work (ICTSB-ICTFSG, JTC1) • No effective answer yet • No blitz. Changes by attrition and not casting of new mould ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  11. As it will be • Customers • Activity ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  12. De jure standardization structure in ICT International level International level ISO . Consortia --------------- Engineering Regional level European level NSOs ------------------Marketing Legitimacy Services National level ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  13. What NSO should do for you • Services • Searches • Legitimate • PA • Disseminate • Para standardization projects ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  14. The worst case (and current) scenario • NSOs to entrench into their privileges • NSOs to forget the users • Continued fragmentation • The NSO ‘s staff interest to overwhelm the interest of society at large Will the competition void the raison d’etre of NSOs? ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  15. What can you do • Lobby to avoid fragmentation on technology, on geography • Realise that the interest of NSO’s staff is not necessarily the interest of the NSO’s members • Support the organisations which support their members ISO TC 211 - Pallanza

  16. Conclusions See us as someone who: • Helps to define and enforce fair rules • Is a channel for the diffusion and acceptance of standards • Is a facilitator in a network of informal liaisons at operational level ISO TC 211 - Pallanza
