This presentation provides an overview of OpenStand (www.open-stand.org), a multifaceted initiative that began with the drafting and joint affirmation of the OpenStand principles in August of 2012. Find out how OpenStand principles do more than align standards organizations – they lay out a new paradigm for technology development that is open, inclusive and market-driven from the bottom up. Find out how open standards benefit people, industry, markets, nations and the world.
