Target Collaborating SDOs:
(Some of many...)
•
It is often said that there are “too many standards organizations”. This is a lot like
saying there is “too much software”.
•
Each has its own area of specialty, its own contributor base, and its own method
of funding to develop its work products.
•
How will the CAC relate to these organizations? (Answer: Cooperatively!)
