This document has been prepared by IDC for the Danish National IT and Telecom Agency (NITA). It describes a methodology to evaluate SSOs (standard setting organizations) with regard to the degree of openness of the organization and thereby the degree of openness in their deliverables, i.e. standards. The NITAs assessment of degree of openness is part of an overall assessment of standards where, beside the aspect of openness, public value and market support are also assessed.
