[IRTF-Announce] Research and Analysis of Standard-Setting Processes Proposed Research Group created

[Colin Perkins <[e-mail]>]

I’m pleased to announce that the Research and Analysis of 
Standard-Setting Processes Proposed Research Group has been chartered in 
the IRTF. The chairs are [Ignacio Castro](https://icastro.info) and 
[Niels ten Oever](https://nielstenoever.net).

This proposed research group aims to bring together researchers, 
practitioners, policy makers, standards users, and standards developers 
to study standardisation processes across SDOs, with a particular focus 
on Internet standards-setting in the IETF. The research is aimed at 
informing the comprehension of standardisation processes and policies, 
and possibly providing tools and insights. This will be done through the 
organization of working sessions, as well as contributions to open data 
and open source software for standard-setting analysis. The group aims 
to produce joint reports to inform the IETF, the research community, and 
the broader standards-setting community.

You can find more details about the group, including links to the 
charter and mailing list, at
