NISO Announces New Registration Process
Bethesda, Md., USA (August 5, 2003) - The National Information
Standards Organization (NISO) is expanding its standards development
program by offering a new Registration Process. The Registration
Process is designed to make specifications and guidelines developed
outside the formal consensus process available to a larger community
of potential implementers. The NISO Registration Process provides a
light-weight review and accreditation that will help those developing
specifications in evolving information services secure acceptance and
recognition among a larger community of potential implementers.
The Registration process complements NISO's traditional consensus
based standards development process that is consistent with ANSI
requirements for development and maintenance of American National
Standards. Details on the Registration Process and the Registration
Application form are on the NISO website at this url:
