Meeting Notes

March 26, 2025 Agenda

1. Compliance statement
2. Introduction
3. Status ongoing work
   1. Report out from the EC DG CNECT workshop:
      Decision to start with general "PaaS"-level standards like authentication etc. No Industry vertical-specific standards yet. Will use CAMSS for assessing standards CAMSS | Interoperable Europe Portal.
      Test run of assessing 114 standards within App Development, IAM, API Mgmt approved 17 standards related to cloud interop and 10 standards to be assessed against EU Data Act criteria.
      Intention seems to be that any approved standard will be a mandatory standard within given field.
      Both AWS and SAP did good interventions pointing at both good sides and bad sides and lack of description for the centralized repository
   2. Discussion on next step, Christina proposed to look at the 42 data-points from ACEA, this was approved and focus on this for next meeting.
      Connected to this Nils had been able to get his hands on a similar list from VDA dating back to 2023:
