FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STANDARDIZATION
Wednesday, May 13, 1998
9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
University of Ottawa
85 University Street, University Centre
Auditorium des Anciens
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Information technology standards play a key role in the evolving=20
information infrastructure. Dramatic changes in the institutional=20
dynamics, purposes, and conduct of IT standardization processes=20
has lead to a contentious, and often confusing, standards=20
environment for private and public sector organizations. This=20
seminar brings together four internationally renowned experts in=20
IT standardization, who will collectively explore the changing=20
role of formal standards organizations and government standards-
setting, the nature and dynamics of standards conflicts, and the=20
relationship of technical standards to (de)centralization,=20
globalization, and the evolution of markets.
9:00 - 9:30 Opening Remarks
9:30 - 10:30 Mr. Carl Cargill:=20
Commercialization on the Offense: The Standards Revolution Begins.
10:30 - 10:45 Break=20
10:45 - 12:00 Dr. Roy Rada:=20
Consensus versus Speed in Standardization.
12:00 - 1:30 Lunch
1:30 - 2:30 Mr. Louie Mamakos:=20
The IETF Standardization Process: Lessons and Challenges.
2:30 - 2:45 Break=20
2:45 - 3:30 Dr. Gio Weiderhold:=20
Interoperability and Government Intervention.
3:30 - 4:30 Panel and Open Discussion
