What is the The Internet Society?
Initiates working groups who investigates the actual details of the proposed standard or protocol.
-Draft version is developed
-Made available for consultation
-The IESG gives final approval
-Published as a Request for Comments (RFC)
-If the draft hasn’t progressed to RFC within 6 months it is withdrawn
The criteria
-Be stable and clear
-Be technically competent
-Have multiple, independent and interoperable implementations with substantial operational experience
-Gain significant public support
-Be useful within the internet domain.
Progression
To gain Standard status there must be at least TWO independent and interoperable implementations.
-If the implementations have been rigorously tested
-Internet standard is assigned along with
-STD number
-RFC number
ISO
International Standards Organisation (ISO)
Promote standardisation and related activities to facilitate international exchange of goods and services.
ISO collaborates with other organisations
International Electronic Commission (IEC)
Focused at the electrical and electronic engineering standards with the focus on hardware.
ISO and IEC collaborate through the Joint Technical Committee (JTC1) for IT standards
6 Step Development Process - Proposal Stage
New proposal assigned to technical can and working group
6 Step Development Process - Preparatory Stage
Working group prepares the draft
Once satisfied, its passed to the committee for consensus-building phase.
6 Step Development Process -Committee Stage
Registered at ISO central Secretariat
Distributed for balloting and comment
Once censuses is achieved it becomes a Draft International Standard (DIS)
6 Step Development Process -Enquiry Stage
DIS is circulated to all ISO member bodies
Time limit of 5 months for comment and vote on approval
It becomes a Final Draft International Standard
If not approved its returned to the working group
6 Step Development Process -Approval Stage
Redistributed for final acceptance
2 months time limit
Technical comments are no longer considered at this stage
If not agreed it is returned to the working group
6 Step Development Process -Final Stage
Once agreed its an International Standard.
Some minor editorial changes are allowed prior to the publications of the standard.
