Propose ITU STIX standard as agenda topic for next month

I would like to propose that there be an agenda item on next month’s TC call to discuss whether CTI TC should liaison with ITU on making STIX 2.1 an ITU standard.

My understanding (as official OASIS Liaison to ITU SG17 and attending most SG17 meetings for last few years) is that ITU has sent OASIS several liaisons requesting this. My understanding (from discussion with OASIS legal counsel) is that it was inappropriate prior to STIX becoming an OASIS standard (ie TC committee spec is not appropriate, but OASIS standard is) and that had been the holdup in the past. OASIS formally responded to ITU with that fact and implied that once STIX 2.1 was approved as standard, that OASIS would then proceed with ITU standardization. STIX 2.1 is now an OASIS standard so that hurdle is removed. Today was the first I’d heard that there are other concerns. I would like those concerns aired (ideally via email prior to next month’s TC meeting) and a plan created to address them if possible so we at least know a proposed timeline on when we might proceed. Or to decide that ITU standardization is inappropriate if that is the will of the group (which I really hope it is not the case).

OASIS is proud that one of it’s advantages is that it has been a path to ITU standardization for many influential standards. In my opinion, ITU standardization would help address many of the issues brought up on today’s call with respect to increasing STIX awareness and adoption, and a more global reach for the TC.

Ditto everything above for TAXII but in the interest of one-step-at-a-time, I’ll settle for discussing STIX.
