Following a keynote from Under Secretary of Commerce and NIST Director Dr. Laurie Locascio, a broad cross section of stakeholders came together to share, discuss, and recommend concrete actions that must be taken by ANSI and members of the U.S. standardization community to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving standards landscape. Discussions focused on opportunities, challenges, and strategic needs in four key areas: 1) actions to address the politicization of standards processes; 2) new techniques to coalesce diverse stakeholder groups to address standards-related challenges; 3) honing the messages and tools needed to communicate the importance of standards and participation in standards development; and 4) how to enhance effective participation and leadership within national and international standards organizations while building a standards literate workforce.
