<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Vint has explained the problem in a nutshell. Most governments adopt standards that derive either from their national standards bodies and/or official international standards organizations, such as ITU-T and
ISO at the global level or, at the regional level, in Europe, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. Often, these organizations are referenced in national legislation as well as in international treaties. How this is done, varies from country to country. Some governments,
for instance, recognize IETF standards by reference, by specifying RFCs in public procurement. IT We would be interested in hearing from our Chapters whether they have any indications as to how this is handled in their respective countries. Ultimately, it
would be significant to have governments recognize IETF standards in their national legislations.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font size="3" face="Calibri"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Calibri">As you know, ISOC takes pride in providing the institutional home of the IETF and does its best to promote the IETF and its work. The sentence that caught your eyes refers to our outreach to governments we
have been engaged in for the past two years. We invited policy makers to IETF meetings and will continue to do so. At the forthcoming IETF meeting in London we will have more than 30 policy makers from all regions, nearly a third of them from Europe.<u></u><u></u></font></p>

<div dir="ltr">some governments only recognize standards from national or treaty-like organizations. They won't specify the use of other standards from private sector organizations. I think this was just an offer to make known the IETF work and the widespread
voluntary adoption of its recommendations.

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I stumbled upon this document in one of ISOC's newsletters:<br>
<a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/europe-bureau-public-policy/2014/02/european-commissions-position-future-internet-governance" target="_blank">http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/europe-bureau-public-policy/2014/02/european-commissions-position-future-internet-governance</a><br>
<br>
In it there is this sentence: "The Internet Society stands ready to<br>
assist European authorities to familiarize themselves with the work of<br>
the IETF and calls on European governments to recognize IETF<br>
standards."<br>
<br>
What is meant by this? How would a government formally recognize<br>
technical standards? Because if something sensible was meant by this<br>
sentence, then it could be a task for the local EU chapters.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Elver<br>
