FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION OF THE SECRETARIAT OF ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37, BIOMETRICS

SECRETARIAT FOR ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37, BIOMETRICS

PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PERFORM RESEARCH AND GATHER STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK THAT WILL EVALUATE EFFECTIVE COLLABORATING MECHANISMS FOR ADDRESSING STANDARDIZATION NEEDS IN CRITICAL AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY SECTORS.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE RESEARCHERS WILL CONDUCT A LITERATURE REVIEW AND INTERVIEWS TO IDENTIFY EXISTING STANDARDS-FOCUSED PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MODELS IN FOUR TECHNOLOGY AREAS: ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, BIOMETRICS, CLOUD COMPUTING, AND NANOTECHNOLOGY. THE APPLICANT WILL ALSO CONDUCT TWO ONE-DAY MODERATED DISCUSSIONS FOR UP TO 60 ATTENDEES EACH. THESE MODERATED DISCUSSIONS WILL FOCUS ON SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR AUTOMATED AND CONNECTED INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE RESEARCHERS WILL PUBLISH A FINAL REPORT FOCUSED ON SUCCESSFUL PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERSHIP MODELS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING PRIVATE SECTOR AND GOVERNMENT INTERESTS, MECHANISMS WHICH MAY HELP ACCELERATE STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT, KEY TOOLS AND RESOURCES, AND OTHER NOTABLE FINDINGS. THE REPORT WILL BE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE REPORT GENERATED WILL INFORM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STAKEHOLDERS ON HOW TO INCREASE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS, EFFICIENCY, AND ENGAGEMENT IN STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES FOR CRITICAL AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MECHANISMS FOR STANDARDIZATION NEEDS WILL HELP STRENGTHEN THE U.S. POSITION IN STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.

SECRETARIAT FOR ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37, BIOMETRICS, AND ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37/WG 4, TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS

PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ENSURE A HIGH PRIORITY, FOCUSED AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH WORLDWIDE FOR THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL OF FORMAL INTERNATIONAL BIOMETRIC STANDARDS. THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI) HAS PROPOSED TO SERVE AS THE SECRETARIAT FOR ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37 (SC 37) BIOMETRICS, THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATION FOR BIOMETRICS STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE APPLICANT ORGANIZATION HAS PROPOSED SERVING AS SC37 SECRETARIAT TO CONDUCT A FORUM FOR INTERNATIONAL BIOMETRICS STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT. SC 37 IS THE MAJOR WORLDWIDE FORUM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, APPROVAL, AND DISSEMINATION OF FORMAL INTERNATIONAL BIOMETRIC STANDARDS. THE STRATEGIC DIRECTION OF SC 37 IS DETERMINED IN ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER DELEGATIONS FROM 30 PARTICIPATING MEMBER COUNTRIES. SC 37 BIOMETRIC STANDARDS PROJECTS ARE ASSIGNED TO ITS SIX WORKING GROUPS FOR THE TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO PROVIDE RELIABLE AND COMPETENT LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, AND ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE THAT SC 37, BIOMETRICS, AND ITS WORKING GROUPS, EFFECTIVELY COMPLETES ITS STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY OVERSEEING THE TIMELY DEVELOPMENT OF DRAFT MEETING AGENDAS, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TARGET DATES FOR CONTRIBUTIONS FROM TECHNICAL EXPERTS AND COUNTRIES, ESTABLISHING TARGET DATES FOR AND TRACKING OF ALL ACTION ITEMS OF THE STANDARDS PROJECT EDITORS AND, PREPARING FOR AND ATTENDING THE SC 37 PLENARY AND SC 37 WORKING GROUP MEETINGS EXPECTED OUTCOMES: AS SC37 SECRETARIAT ANSI WILL OVERSEE THE MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF SC 37 INCLUDING THE PREPARATION FOR AND THE OPERATION OF THE SC 37 MEETINGS. WITH PROPER EXECUTION AS SECRETARIAT, SC37 SHOULD OPERATE IN A MANNER THAT FACILITATES CONSENSUS ON STANDARDS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, OPERATES UNDER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT FOSTER OPENNESS, TRANSPARENCY, BALANCE OF INTEREST AND DUE PROCESS (COMMON ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES FOR ALL STANDARDS ORGANIZATIONS), AND PROVIDES SEMI-ANNUAL MEETINGS THAT ARE EXPERTLY MANAGED AND ADMINISTERED INCLUDING RECEIPT OF DOCUMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, CAPTURING OF RESOLUTIONS, AND MEETING ADMINISTRATION. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: SC 37 BIOMETRIC STANDARDS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND ARE NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER, OPEN SYSTEMS STANDARDS-BASED SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE PURPOSES SUCH AS HOMELAND DEFENSE, THE PREVENTION OF ID THEFT, BORDER CONTROL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, INTELLIGENCE AND THE MILITARY. SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THERE ARE NO PLANNED SUBAWARDS.
