2.6: Infrastructure Technology Standards
Provide the Federal CIO Community with a unified voice in advising NIST and other standards bodies regarding infrastructure
technology standards.
Stakeholder(s):
- Technology Infrastructure Subcommittee: The primary purpose of the TIS is to provide the Federal CIO Community with a unified voice in advising NIST and other standards
bodies regarding infrastructure technology standards. This will be implemented through established processes on their requirements
for and experiences with infrastructure technology standards such as those around IPv6 and the (USGCB). By providing a singular
perspective on these NIST standards processes, this Subcommittee will enable greater accountability as it relates to the implementation
of the initiatives in the purview of the TIS. Further, it is expected that over time and with the concurrence of the SPC Co-Chairs,
the TIS will make recommendations and provide input on technology areas which may benefit from standards, based on the value
proposition to the Federal CIO Community and the availability of agency-based resources to support the activity. A secondary
purpose of the TIS is to establish a forum for the SPC on behalf of the Federal CIO Council to provide feedback on technology
infrastructure questions to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Federal government operates as a single enterprise
providing decision-making flexibility at the agency level. The TIS will provide an opportunity to allow agencies to have their
voice, and as a community a collective voice, with respect to key infrastructure standardization activities.
