Re: standards

[Stuart Hysom <shysom@social-sci.ss.emory.edu>]

I would like to thank people on this list who responded to my request
for information concerning standards developing organizations.  The
information provided so far is most useful.

All those who responded were from the US.  In general I am told that
standardization in Europe is more generally accepted and seen as
legitimate.  I have one follow up question, specifically asked of
listers that may be reading in from countries other than the US: what
are the main standards setting organizations that you are familiar with?
Are there any standards organizations who are more active in Europe than
the US?

Thanks again, and this should be the last question about this for a
while. When I have written this project up, I'll post the URL to the
list for anyone interested.
