I am very pleased to announce that CalConnect is now officially listed as an international standards body by the World Trade Organization: https://tbtcode.iso.org/sites/wto-tbt/contents/json/185.html. The document describing our alignment with WTO principles may be found here: https://standards.calconnect.org/csd/cc-10100.html.

CalConnect now has active liaisons with several international organizations including 10 liaisons with ISO committees: ISO/TC 37, ISO TC/46, ISO TC 154, ISO/TC 211, ISO/PC 317 and ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 27. We are participating in the work program of most of of these in particular in areas such as date/time formats, time zone management, structured name and address standards, and privacy by design.

For a full list of CalConnect liaisons and involvement, please see /about/liaisons-and-relationships.

On behalf of CalConnect I would like to thank Ronald Tse of Ribose, our Director of External Relations, for supporting and driving our standards program, together with everyone who is representing CalConnect in standards activities.
