<br>Norbert Bollow enviou um email interessante sobre uma tentativa,<br>na forma de uma votaçao para estabelecer um "grupo ad-hoc de<br>participacao direta", que permitiria que corporaçoes diretamente <br>influenciem o resultado das votaçoes da ISO.
<br>Alguem tem o texto do N-8812? <br><br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: Norbert Bollow <<a href="mailto:nb@bollow.ch">nb@bollow.ch</a>><br>Date: Dec 8, 2007 9:33 PM<br>Subject: [OpenISO] ISO/IEC JTC1 Ballot N-8812
<br>To: <a href="mailto:discuss@openiso.org">discuss@openiso.org</a><br><br><br>Those of you who are also members of your national standardization<br>organization's mirror committee for ISO/IEC JTC1 may be aware of<br>
the letter ballot N-8812 about the Establishment of an "Ad Hoc Group<br>on Direct Participation".<br><br>I intend to vote "no" with a comment like the following, and<br>encourage others to do the same. (In other countries at least
<br>the explicit references to Switzerland should be changed of<br>course.)<br><br>"""<br>Swiss stakeholder organizations as well as individuals are already<br>able today to participate in the work of ISO/IEC JTC1 if they are
<br>interested and have the comptence for doing so, simply by becoming<br>members of the Swiss Association for Standardization and informing<br>about what working group activities their experts are willing and<br>able to contribute to. Of course, this situation is not unique to
<br>Switzerland. Rather, the P-member bodies of any ISO committee have<br>a duty to identify experts who can contribute to the related working<br>group activities.<br><br>Therefore, the proposal to change the rules of JTC1 to introduce
<br>"direct participation" is not really about empowering the<br>participation of stakeholders who would otherwise be somehow unable<br>to do so. Rather, the main effect of the proposal would be to<br>further increase the influence of those corporations which try to
<br>get what is essentially technical documentation of their products<br>approved as "international standards". These companies could then<br>participate directly in addition to also influencing the national<br>
member bodies. This would certainly increase their interest in<br>JTC1, but not in ways that are beneficial to the public interest.<br><br>As Martin Bryan, Convenor of JTC1/SC34 WG1 has warned [1],<br>"The disparity of rules for PAS, Fast-Track and ISO committee
<br>generated standards is fast making ISO a laughing stock in IT<br>circles. The days of open standards development are fast<br>disappearing. Instead we are getting 'standardization by<br>corporation'..."<br>
<br>It is therefore important to avoid exploring changes that would<br>move JTC1 in the wrong direction and which would divert attention<br>from those changes which are urgently needed to encourage the<br>development of genuinely open standards and to decrease the risk
<br>of the adoption as international standards of specifications which<br>are "open standards" only in name.<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0940.htm">http://www.jtc1sc34.org/repository/0940.htm
