Framework Evolution and Next Steps
Stakeholder Engagement
Over the next year, NIST intends to engage with stakeholders in various ways, including industry conferences and other outreach activities such as webinars and workshops to promote use of the Framework, the sharing of best practices among stakeholders, and collaboration on addressing the challenges outlined in the Roadmap.
Future Updates
The Framework is intended to be a living document. NIST will continue to serve in the capacity of convener and coordinator to gather lessons learned and ensure that the Framework continues to evolve to meet the needs of stakeholders. NIST will receive and consider comments informally until such time as it announces a new public process for revising Version 1.0.
