Here's the starting point: - Why can people work together better if they use the technology you define? - What part of that should be implemented by a number of products that do not use any of your technology or software at all? Who else will produce an implementation of the part you propose to standardize? - Who are the people who recognize their need to cooperate using a technology like yours, instead of existing standards or proprietary approaches, and will help you to get this accepted as a standard? Good answers to these questions will help you know where to go with the proposed standard to make it happen. If there aren't good answers to these questions, you might have a technology that may be useful, but isn't really a candidate standard. Jonathan
