5、ace Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Consumer Electronics (CE) are key factors in todays economic and social environment. Effective interchange of commercial, technical, and administrative data, with text, images and, increasingly, audiovisual information is vital for the growth of

6、 economy in the world markets. Through the increasing digitalization of media, automation of processes, and pervasive use of lightweight communicating devices (from notebooks to tablets to smart phones), information technology, telecommunications and consumer electronics are getting more and more in

7、tegrated. Standardization provides the means for economical solutions to complex technologies, and is required for data interchange and interoperability. Moreover, it is most effective when performed in a pre-competitive mode during product development and with all interested parties involved. The A

8、ssociation - one of the oldest worldwide standard bodies active in the area of ICT and CE standardization - was founded more than 50 years ago, in May 1961, and was registered in Switzerland as a not-for-profit organization. From 1961 until 1994, ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association), t

9、hen Ecma International (Ecma, for short) has actively contributed to worldwide standardization of ICT. So far 406 high quality Ecma Standards and 106 Technical Reports (and their updates) have been published. Standardization is a never ending story especially in the area of ICT and CE, bursting with

10、 innovation and new usages. There are always new technologies waiting for urgent standardization. Therefore, we are optimistic about the next decades of standardization in Ecma. Ecma standardization work has always been recognized as far-sighted and reflecting technological trends at an early stage.

11、 As a consequence many Ecma Standards have been accepted as a basis for International and European Standards. To ensure close co-operation Ecma has established formal liaisons with European and international standardization bodies. The liaison with ISO and in particular the A-liaison with ISO/IEC JT

12、C 1 (and its predecessor TC97), goes back to 1961. This fruitful co-operation led in 1987 to the acceptance of the Fast-Track procedure by ISO (and IEC) on a proposal by Ecma. Ecma combines the agility of consortia with the quality of the de jure standardization organizations. By combining its effic

13、ient infrastructure and proven yet adaptive working methods with the well-established formal liaisons at International and European level, Ecma has established a strong position in the area of ICT and CE standardization. Ecma Standards are developed by its members, which are highly qualified experts

14、 from information technology, consumer electronics and telecommunication industrial firms, from smaller companies, or from the academic or research community, with the commitment to provide, in a consensus mode, technical solutions ready for implementation in product development and testing. The ben

15、efit of Ecma membership is the following: It provides early knowledge of technological trends and better understanding of technology standards requirements, especially in emerging technology areas. It provides a platform where technical contributions of member companies are evaluated by experts who

16、via an effective process develop high quality Ecma Standards and Technical Reports in a very short time. In Ecma small working structures dominate (15 companies or less), working is fast, consensus is usually easy to achieve. Also public reviews are made possible: the process is defined, but its use

17、 is not systematic (Technical Committees have a choice to use it for a given topic). In this way, it is possible to obtain input to and review of intermediate drafts either from the general public or from targeted organizations in liaison. Ecma adheres to WTO principles for standardization. For a gi

18、ven topic there needs to be a middle ground between speed and wider consensus. Ecma can do both. Ecma experience, like elsewhere, is that the wider the consensus, the more time it takes. Ecma is part of the larger standardization landscape. There is a choice to have an Ecma standard as final step or

19、 to propose it to another SDOs, e.g. to JTC 1 for fast-track. The participation in Ecma of many worldwide leading companies ensures not only the acceptance of Ecma Standards in European and International standardization but also their worldwide implementation. Our goal for the next decade is to cont

20、inue to play a key role in the extraordinary development in IT, telecommunications and Consumer Electronics, via dissemination of new technologies, and by the delivery of first class standards to our members, partners and the standard user community. We aim to continue to bring in major contribution

21、s, to move technology from our members to mature standards and to collaborate with the worlds major SDOs. The President, Geneva, January 2014. 3 Purpose and Me mbership The Purpose of Ecma International is: To develop, in co-operation with the appropriate national, European and international organiz

22、ations as a scientific endeavour and in the general interest standards and technical reports in the fields of information and communications technologies. To encourage the correct use of standards by influencing the environment in which they are applied. To publish the Ecma Standards and Technical R

23、eports - after their approval by at least two-thirds of all Ordinary Members - free of charge and freely copyable to all interested parties. The Association shall consist of Company members (i.e., ordinary, associate, SME and SPC members), and not-for-profit (NFP) members. Ordinary membership may be

24、 applied for by a company which has interest and experience in matters related to one or more Technical Committees of the Association, and which wishes to exert the right to vote at the Technical Committees and at the General Assembly and to exert other exclusive rights defined in the By-laws and Ru

25、les.to vote at the General Assembly and to exert other exclusive rights defined in the By-laws and Rules. All other membership classes have the right to vote on the Technical Committee level only. Associate membership may be applied for by a company which has interest and experience in matters relat

26、ed to one or more of the Technical Committees of the Association but without the right to vote in the General Assembly. A company which has similar interests as an associate member and an annual, global turnover of less than one hundred million Swiss Francs, may be admitted as SME member (Small and

27、Medium-sized Enterprise). An organization - a company or other legal for-profit organization - which has similar interests as an associate member, an annual global turnover of less than five million Swiss Francs and no more than five employees, may be admitted as SPC member (Small Private Company).

28、NFP membership may be applied for by a non-profit-making organization. If an NFP is an organization with several organizations as members, then normally it can only become an NFP member in Ecma if its members do not qualify for Company membership in Ecma. NFPs may only participate in the work of no

29、more than one Ecma Technical Committee. The Association is a non-profit-making organization and does not devote itself in any commercial activity. 4 Ecmas role in International St andardization * SSO Standard Setting Organization + ESOs European Standardization Organizations Ecma International has c
