Abstract

The study provides a detailed discussion on each of these parameters revealing that governance structures and processes (like ratification, openness and membership fees to name a few) play a vital role in determining which standard makes it to the fore. This is further complicated by IPR regimes (which FRAND offsets to a great extent) which might impede the voices of start-ups and small-scale enterprises in shaping the narrative of lesser known but relevant standards While pre-screening of SSOs is important for businesses and contributors to the standard development process, governments must ensure that stakeholders collectively gain from the benefits of participating in the process and catalyse technology development at the macro-level. The focus on governance of SSOs is particularly relevant to India as it prepares to transition from a follower to a contributor for emerging technologies such as IoT. Timothy Simcoe found that voluntary SSOs using a consensus process had become increasingly politicized, crippling standards production for the Internet between 1993 and 2003.
