Agenda Highlights:
Background:
On May 4, 2023, the White House released the U.S. Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (USG NSSCET). The new strategy reinforces the U.S. Government’s support for a private sector-led, open, consensus-based international standards system, with a particular focus on critical and emerging technology(ies) (CET).
The USG NSSCET specifically names three actions to expand standards cooperation and coordination with likeminded partners and allies:
Implementation of the USG NSSCET requires robust stakeholder engagement and a renewed commitment to the fundamental principles of transparency, openness, impartiality and consensus, effectiveness and relevance, and coherence. NIST is working across the international standards community, seeking information on behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Government to support the development of a USG NSSCET implementation plan.
NIST is hosting interactive listening sessions to inform international stakeholders, gather the collective wisdom of the community, and generate excitement and support for responses an upcoming Request for Information (RFI). Updates on engagements and the RFI can be found on standards.gov.
