I applaud Starmer for at beginning to implement promised reforms.

'Boris Johnson, the Conservative former prime minister, breached the rules on taking jobs after government on three separate occasions without facing a proper sanction’

Standards bodies (see #ACOBA #OfCom #OfWat for examples) are toothless. Set up to give the illusion that the British State actrually cares about corruption.

The UK Government has an open consultation on Standard Essential Patents underway.

@openuk will be responding to this and providing some guidance over the next few weeks for individuals and interested parties who wish to follow our approach to the response.

Very important to have the risks of these in open source flagged clearly to government as we see an increased focus on standards for global governance.

Back in 2023 the @EUCommission opened the question of whether the European #standards system created by regulation 1025/2012 is working well. The final report of this enquiry is now available, at ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r

"The evaluation shows that the Regulation has led to some improvements in the speed and inclusiveness of standards development, yet it struggles to meet current market, policy and legal needs"

Time for change, methinks.

I want to write about how my roadbike is build from mainly US designed/manufactured parts and a US steel frame set. Sprinkled with some UK based tires, japanese bits, and some Swiss wheels.

I can replace all of it. It used standards like a BSA threaded bottom bracket, and 1/1-8 headset and 27.2mm seatpost. So walking into a bike shop means a lot of parts will be available, and the mechanic can handle putting it on when needed.

Standards facilitate freedom of choice.

#geopolitics #eu #economics FYI I follow this stuff. Whilst the #uk relies on the #us at least the #eu is able to take awider view. However I'm not unaware of #chinese internal #politics #ethics and #standards on #human #rights . As always "sup with the devil, best sup with a long spoon" or just give up our addiction to being first with #technological change? A conundrum wrapped in a paradox.
