1. W3C’s Relationship to de jure Standards Steve Holbrook (IBM)

2. Sanction vs Traction Open Process & Sanctioning helps but there are LOTS of sanctioned, open standards out there (both in W3C and ISO) …with no up-take! Market traction matters Vendors react to market pressure Customer demand & competition Ability to make money Government Regulations * ( I’ll come back to this…) … in the end: de facto matters more than de jure

3. W3C in the Middle ISO/IEC/ITU W3C microFormats New KidsOld SchoolNew Old(?) School Innovate Sanction & Ratify

4. IBM’s (and others’?) Ideal Model We’re all resource constrained Need a smart approach Do technology work once @ consortia level Await traction in market Pursue further sanctioning @ de jure level

5. 2004 vs 2010? ISO/IEC JTC-1 Web Services Study Group (WSSG) started in 2003 Don Deutsch (chair) presentend on WSSG in May 2004 ACpresentend 2004: Advisory Board “advised” W3C become a PAS Submitter Team: “thanks, but no thanks” (Mike will address) We’ll achieve int’l recognition in other ways Other SDOs? (Eduardo will address OASIS) OASIS was already a PAS Submitter, WS-I became one 2010: voices again calling for W3C to be a PAS Submitter What changed?

6. China & others Struggling to fit in w/ W3C & Consortia Prefer Top-down Identify ideal framework & fill in holes in Int’l Stds Caused creation of JTC-1 SC38 Web Service WG SOA WG Cloud Computing Study Group
