About stewarding open standards

The next sections act as a guide to follow when stewarding open standards

Developing and delivering a successful open standard is typically only the first step to ensuring its usefulness and long-term success; typically it will need to be supported and, at times, updated, to ensure its continued usefulness and relevance.

This section is intended as a guide to the activities, documents and resources to consider in stewarding a successful open standard.

These are not a set of rules to follow, but a guide to help you make the right choices for your open standard.
