Ecma, 50 years and beyond Josée Auber
In work programme now • Scripting (ECMAScript), XML schemas (XPS, OOXML), languages (Eiffel, C#) • Optical Media(CD, DVD, UDO, UMD, Test Method for the Estimation of Lifetime of Optical Media for Long- term Data Storage, Holographic Information Storage • Near Field Communication, Close Proximity Electric Induction , TV-White Spaces, Ultra Wide Band, 60 GHz communications • Environmental Design considerations, Determination of chemical emission rates, The Eco Declaration, Energy efficiency standard, Network Proxying for Energy Efficiency • Acoustical, Electromagnetic and Product Safety attributes of ICT and CE equipment • Universal 3D Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 2
Watching out for new work • Constantly investigating new work with our members, in our Technical Committees • For instance, member’s proposal now in TC 32 on interoperability of video conference systems • Academic workshop: • 1st International Workshop on Standards and Technologies in Multimedia Archives and Records (STAR) in 2010 in Lausanne, next in November 2011 Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 3
Looking for the right match in Ecma working methods • Ecma: small working structures (15 companies or less), working fast, consensus easy to achieve • Public reviews made possible: process defined, use is not systematic (by topic, TC choice to use it) • Input to and review of intermediate drafts either from general public or targeted at organization in liaison • Adherence to WTO principles for given standardization topics • Speed or wide consensus: Ecma can do either • Ecma experience, like elsewhere, is that the wider the consensus, the more time it takes • Ecma part of the larger standardization landscape • choice to have an Ecma standard as final step or to propose it to other SDOs, e.g. to JTC 1 for fast-track Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 4
Cultivate our membership • Keep and attract Ordinary (Full) members (the Ecma backbone and strength) and Associate members. • Cultivate diversity with SME (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) and SPC (Small Private Companies) members. • Attract pointed expertise with NFPs (Not-For-Profit organizations) • All stakeholders participate directly as members, around the same table.

Our goal for the next decade • Continue to play a key role in the extraordinary development in IT, telecommunications and Consumer Electronics, • via dissemination of new technologies, • and delivery of first class standards to its members, partners and the standard user community. • Continue to bring in major contributions • Move technology from our members to mature standards • Collaborate with the world’s major SDOs Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 6
