1. OpenStand
Principles for the modern paradigm for
standards development

2. How it Started
On August 29, 2012, IAB, IEEE, IETF, ISOC and W3C
agreed to affirm and uphold a set of established, time-tested
principles that have helped drive the innovation of the last
two decades.
The “OpenStand” Principles were formally drafted and jointly
affirmed, not just to align these organizations, but to mobilize
ongoing global support for the application of these market-
driven principles in technology and standards development.

3. OpenStand: Five Core
Principles
Respectful cooperation
between standards
organizations
Whereby each respects the
autonomy, integrity, processes
and intellectual property rules of
the others
1
Adherence to the
fundamental
parameters of
standards development
Including due process, broad
consensus, transparency,
balance and universal openness
2
Collective empowerment
to strive to develop
standards that are
chosen & defined based
on technical merit
• As judged by the contributed
expertise of an open and
global experts community
• Provide global interoperability,
scalability, stability, and
resiliency
• Enable global competition
• Serve as building blocks for
further innovation
• Contribute to the creation of
benefit for humanity
3
Availability of standards
specifications
• Made globally accessible to all for
implementation & deployment
• Defined procedures to develop
specifications that can be
implemented under fair terms
• Ensuring a broad affordability of
the outcome of the
standardization process
(openness of input & output)
4
Voluntary adoption by the
standards market
The success of a standard is
determined by the market.

4. OpenStand Principles
Support Global,
Market-Driven
Standards Development
• The economics of global markets and
societal needs, fueled by technological
innovation, drive global deployment of
standards that are built in a consensual
manner, from the bottom-up.
• These standards help ensure strong
integration, interoperability, and
increased synergies along the
innovation chain across national and
regional boundaries.

5. OpenStand Principles
Establish a paradigm,
not just a set of values
• Produce standards through a process
that is open to an inclusive society of
world experts.
• Leverage and build upon knowledge to
drive innovation.

6. OpenStand Principles
Fuel strategy,
business development
and innovation
• Standards produced within the modern
standards paradigm support:
§ Collaboration & Consensus
§ Relationship Building
§ Business & Technology Development
§ New & Existing Markets

7. OpenStand Principles
Embrace and support
collaborative
communities
• Sharing the values of openness,
transparency and inclusiveness
• Supporting coordination and
collaboration among standards
development organizations to:
• Eliminate duplicate efforts that may be
shouldered by industry
• Simplify the international standards
development landscape
• Make standards development more affordable
for all stakeholders
• Foster local economic growth and
development

8. OpenStand Global Benefits
