Strategic Direction

• Cloud Standards Coordination output will provide
  strategic guidance on Cloud Stands gaps and will
  trigger action in different SDOs.
• Network Function Virtualization will identify
  standardization requirements and trigger
  standardization at ETSI and other SDOs
• These two global activities will guide through
  the fog of Cloud Standards and trigger required
  activities

Cloud Standards Coordination

• EC Cloud Strategy
• ETSI tasked to coordinate with stakeholders to
  define standards maps in support of policy
  objectives (security, interoperability, data
  portability and reversibility)
• Cf. NIST/USG.cloud first policy
• Cloud Standards Coordination
• http//csc.etsi.org
• open to all
• 250 participants/work mostly electronic
• Major SDOs/fora WW
• NIST, GITCF
• Final output expected Q3/2013

Challenges

• Complex ecosystems
• Window of opportunity/industry strategies
• Engage private and public sector alike
• Keep in sync with international partners and
  SDOs, avoid duplication of work
• Keep dialogue with the research community to be
  engaged in Cloud Standards
