Standard acceleration SD-PPP MOdel

Model Description

A standards acceleration SD-PPP is primarily focused on convening stakeholders to discuss opportunities, challenges, and needs for a given technology and applicable sectors. The primary objective of SD-PPP activities may not be to develop standards but instead support pre-standardization efforts. Ultimately, the desired outcome is to determine if there is consensus about the need for standards, and to help advance decision-making and therefore accelerate subsequent standards development.
