[Technical Initiative Funding Request] - S2C2F PAS Submission Funding Request #328
Comments
The TAC will review this at our next meeting (28May). I encourage everyone to review & comment beforehand |
@camaleon2016 @adriandiglio can you add a bit of context here as to why making s2c2f an ISO standard is beneficial. What will achieving that enable for the group and consumers of the framework? If this is NOT funded, what is at risk? |
This seems like a reasonable use of TAC funding to me and in line with our discussions. 👍🏻 |
I would love for @camaleon2016 / @omkhar to summarize here what they mentioned at today's TAC meeting about how ISO standardization helps with OpenSSF's engagement with EU public sector on the Cyber Resilience Act (and possibly other public / private sector conversations?) That said, this seems like a good way for the OpenSSF to start exploring turning community specifications into standards, and seeing what opportunities that unlocks. +1 from me. |
@steiza sure things! In standards land, there are broadly two kinds of standards:
De jure standards typically bear a mark or recognition that the standard has been through an official standardization process. Ex: ISO/IEC 27001:2013 went through the JTC1 standardization process. De facto standards (S2C2F as an example) The goal of putting a de facto standard through the de jure process is two fold:
Overall, I think it's a Good Thing (tm) and something which we may wish to consider for other OpenSSF work (ex SLSA) if the TAC should choose. |
Is this ask for $4000 or "$3000-$5000"? or both? |
I will be out for the TAC meeting, but don't have any additional questions, and support this TI funding request. If this comment of support could be counted as a vote if needed, please use it. |
Having this reviewed this ask, it's not a huge $ amount for an outcome that seems overall beneficial and may pave the trail for other OpenSSF specs. Can @camaleon2016 or @adriandiglio please comment on the impact to the project if the funding request isn't approved in Q2? |
Since we're getting close to the decision deadline, and I'm still on the fence about supporting this request in Q2, my vote is to defer this request. |
Problem Statement
S2C2F requires 4k in funding to pay the JDF contracted ISO Editor to help form the correct language in the S2C2F Specification in preparation for ISO PAS submission.
Who does this affect?
Without this necessary step the spec will not be in proper form for PAS submission and will not be balloted.
Have there been previous attempts to resolve the problem?
No. S2C2F is requesting funding through the OpenSSF for the first time and as a first course of action.
Why should it be tackled now and by this TI?
S2C2F Project is ready and has been accepted by the JDF to begin the process for PAS submission

Funding will cover the JDF contracted ISO Editors work in total.
What is going to be needed to deliver this funding initiative?
The JDF contracted ISO Editor is all that is required.
Are there tools or tech that still need to be produced to facilitate the funding initiative?
NO.
Give a summary of the requirements that contextualize the costs of the funding initiative
4k will cover the JDF contracted ISO Editor requested 3-5k requirement for proper formatting of the S2C2F spec into a ballotable ISO Standard

Code of Conduct
List the major milestones by date and identify the overall timeline within which the technical initiative plans to accomplish their goals. Any payments for services, sponsorships, etc., will require LF Legal and Financial review.
Balloting is currently TBD, but we are anticipating finalizing the process by Jan 2025. 4k in funding will only be used to pay the JDF contracted ISO Editor to prepare the spec for entering the PAS Balloting process.
If this is a request for funding to issue a contract, then OpenSSF will issue that contract. Please provide a Statement of Work (SOW) that we may review. Any contracting action will take 4-6 weeks to issue.
JDF issues the contract.
