I think the IETF, W3C or DIF models are preferable, in terms of accessibility and adoption.

I also agree that the IETF and W3C are preferable in terms of adoption, primarily because they require two interworking systems to exist before the standard can be published. This acts as a natural brake on gold plating, which many ISO standards have suffered from.

But ISO standards can also become ubiquitous e.g. X.509, without which the secure web would not exist. So we cannot write ISO off.

Kind regards

You pay for membership, but not for access to the spec. How is it possible to call something an open standard, when it’s behind a significant paywall?

(That said, Andrew — I am intensely grateful that both you and David Chadwick are participating in the mDL WG, so it is in no way a criticism of the work. I am merely bewildered at the ISO approach.)

I’m curious. For the not “pay-for-standards” - where does the money come from?
Because someone is paying for the collaborative work spaces…

Pay-for standards should have no role in SSI because they are inaccessible to community-supported F/OSS.

IEEE has tried to split this baby with their privacy-inflected 7000 series. It’s a potential solution for ISO. As it stands, ISO collaboration seems like a good way for W3C and IETF to lose our way.

…yeah, except we’re sitting here realizing our standard is being displaced by this new standard using the 20 year old model, so….
