Online Event: Public Private Partnerships: The Foundation for America’s approach to Standards-setting

Standards-setting is a foundation activity for modern commerce. America’s approach to standards-development is grounded in the private sector. The Government plays an important role, but ultimately it is the private sector that is the foundation for America’s approach to standards-setting. 

In this session, we will explore the dynamics of American standards development as a public-private enterprise. Our seminar will feature:

• Mr. Joe Bhatia, President of the American National Standards Institute, the primary organization to coordinate the private sector’s activities in national and global standards-setting
• Dr. Walter Copan, Under Secretary of Commerce and Director, National Institute of Standards and Technology
• Mr. Phil Wennblom, Director of Standards Policy at the Intel Corporation

All three of our experts have extensive experience in the standards-development process.  This is the third in the series of seminars on standards-setting, sponsored by the Langone Chair on American Leadership.
