Documents/NISO/4: Sustainable Standards

2.1.4: Sustainable Standards

Ensure that standards efforts are economically and organizationally sustainable.

Other Information:

NISO understands that the resource commitment for standards increases as theymove through the lifecycle. NISO reviews standards at critical points in the lifecycle to determine if the expected benefit from the standard warrants continuedinvestment. NISO exits standards activities that provide insufficient benefit nomatter the stage of the lifecycle. This means that not every NISO initiative willresult in the development of a standard and that NISO may withdraw its effort orseek an alternate venue for a standard that reaches a point of diminishing returns.
