IN welcomes the fact that the European Commission acknowledges standardization's role as a strategic instrument of economic policy while reminding political decision makers that the private nature of the European standardization system needs to be safeguarded at all times.

Governments around the world have taken an increasing interest in the use of “Open Standards” in the ICT systems that they deploy. That interest has manifested itself in several recent policies, including ones issued since November 2010 by the European Commission, the Government of India and the UK Cabinet Office. These policies ultimately raise as many questions as they answer about how we might delineate the confines of the term “Open Standard” and which commonly used standards would measure up to that requirement. Contrary to popular belief, there is not a single accepted definition of the term “Open Standard” and in fact each of the policies defines that term differently. Part I of this paper looks at the concept of “openness,” using five dimensions or attributes. Part II introduces the three recent government standards policies and explains how each one approaches the concept of openness, with reference to these five attributes. Part III of the paper suggests that while the definitions in these policies may seem clear on their face, when applied to real world practices at SSOs, the definitions will disqualify a non-trivial number of standards currently in use by governments around the world. Part IV summarizes the findings and considers several other policy questions related to the frequently cited objectives for these “Open Standards” Policies, concluding that we should ask questions about whether the policies outlined above can deliver on those objectives in light of the analysis in Part II.

CEN and CENELEC as the three European Standard Organizations welcome the Communication and draft Regulation. Standardization is an important economic activity in Europe and globally. The launch of the package on 1 June offers the chance to focus attention on its virtues as a tool for economic and social coherence.

SAP may not be known for its value-driven, sophisticated approach towards open source, but that perception has started to change. Like most independent software companies, SAP is following a hybrid, mixed source approach that combines open source with ‘shared source’ and closed source. SAP's next generation Java platform, for example, leverages many open source components from Eclipse, Apache and others. Consequently, SAP is actively contributing to a growing number of projects. Despite the many benefits of open source though, using open source and open source principles as part of a product strategy is no trivial matter. It comes with many challenges. This session will provide an overview of the economic benefits open source software delivers from an independent software vendor perspective. A number of examples outline how SAP's approach towards open source has evolved from managing open source as a risk to becoming the third-largest corporate code contributor to the Eclipse Foundation - and what you can expect in the future.
