For those of you/us/you in Europe (and don't mention the B-word), this may be of interest: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/consultation-cloud-comput... Not sure how much weight is given to this sort of input but we might even put something together on behalf of OGF or OCCI (use of open standards, etc. - should I send it off to ISO as well?) For example, in the associated data protection document (co-authored by a few well known suspects), Challenge 4 mentions the standards. PS. Apropos stuff, don't forget the plugfest later this month: www.cloudplugfest.org which has an OCCI theme as well. PPS. I've been on leave but aim to catch up on OGF docs ASAP.
