DeNardis (“maximal openness” definition) http://www.ijclp.net/files/ijclp_web-doc_9-13-2009.pdf
Closed: a specification developed by a single company with no avenue for participation by other parties. The spec is unavailable for other parties to use, even for a fee, to develop interoperable products based on the specification. The spec developer owns all the IPR and does not license it under any terms. Maximal openness DeNardis http://www.ijclp.net/files/ijclp_web-doc_9-13-2009.pdf
‘Conservative’ views: procedural due process, RAND IPR Open source-centric views: open participation, RF IPR ‘A2K-centric’ views: non-traditional innovation arguments, political and economic emphasis
Standards Setting Organizations (SSOs) Consortia (sometimes “SIGs”) “A collaboration of stakeholders with the common goal of the standardization of a specific technology or application” Formal, recognized standards development orgs (SDOs) International “Big I” or “FISDOs”: ITU, ISO, IEC, JTC1 [“Little I”: e.g. ASTM, IEEE] Special Interest Groups (SIGs) “focus on a single standard for a specific technology or industry” “[usually] limited to development and possibly promotion” “generally short-lived” Alliances “develop multiple related standards for a technology” “may offer… logo and certification programs, marketing…” “life cycle may be relatively long” Regional e.g. ETSI, COPANT MIXED RAND/RF; MIXED PROCEDURAL OPENNESS National Coordination bodies: e.g. CESI, ANSI Accredited SSOs: e.g. TIA, INCITS, NEMA, SAE Develop “Specifications” Develop “Standards” GENERALLY RAND, PROCEDURALLY ‘OPEN’ -Based on taxonomy described in IPO Standards Primer (Sept. 2009)
Exercise: where do some of these familiar SIGs/SDOs fall on DeNardis’ scale? Maximal openness Closed
