[comp.protocols.iso] standards ans so on ...

REIJS@SURFNET.NL (10/24/90)

Hello all of you,

I am looking for information about standardization aspects at the level of
managers. The specific information (on all layers, and in the world) must
be in the fields of:
-      what standardorganizations (incuding defacto standards) are
       important for decisionmakers in networking (e.g. DARPA, ISO, CCITT,
       IEEE, ETSI, CEN/CENELEC)? Can you broaden the mentioned list?
-      what standards (also defacto and the most important factory) are
       important (now and in future)? One sees sometimes nice overviews. Is
       there a very good reference to such an overview?
-      what profiles are used within these standards?
-      what protocol stacks are being used in countries?

I know that I am asking a lot, but what I perhaps only need are some good
references to overview articles, books, persons or institutes. Who can help
me with this?

A summary of the information will be putten on this list.

Thanks for your help and all the best,


Victor
