**February 2, 2007**

- Develop process to validate standards used by E-Gov Initiatives and Lines of Business (LOBs)
- Validate that E-Gov Initiatives/LOBs are based on appropriate standards and in alignment with OMB policy (e.g. Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA))
- Work with other government agencies to find ways to ensure incorporation of E-Gov standards into common practice

**Charge To NIST**

**Notes:**
Welcome.

Personnel News:
Stacie Higgins hired as the new G2G portfolio manager, replacing Kamela White.  Kamela remains with OMB in OIRA’s IPT Branch.
Dick Burk hired as new Chief Architect for FEA.
New IE&E Portfolio Manager being named soon.

## Selection of Private Sector Consensus Standards to be E-Gov Standards

- USG law and policy direct agencies to use private sector consensus standards wherever possible
- Sources for information on standards
- European annual survey of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards developers:
- 	http://www.cenorm.be/cenorm/businessdomains/businessdomains/isss/consortia/index.asp
- American National Standards Institute search engine for standards:
- 	http://www.nssn.org/

## Selection of Private Sector Consensus Standards to be Validated E-Gov Standards

- NIST Analysis Model for Selection of Private Sector Consensus Standards -- see handout
- Based upon past/present practices
- Poses key questions
- Answers to questions on selecting a private sector consensus standard *shall be*:
- provided to NIST by relevant E-Gov Initiative/LOB
- reviewed by NIST for validation of E-Gov standard
- The set of answers provides the specific rationale for the validation of each E-Gov standard

## NIST Analysis Model for Development of USG Unique Standards – see handout
Based upon past/present practices 
Poses key questions
Questions on initiating development of a USG unique standard are for use by all E-Gov Initiative/LOB 
Answers to questions on approving a USG unique standard shall be:
provided to NIST by relevant E-Gov Initiative/LOB
reviewed by NIST for validation of E-Gov standard
The set of answers provide the specific rationale for the validation of each E-Gov standard
