Re: [cti] EUROPE adopts STIX and TAXII
Jason,

    
This occurred because those platforms were introduced at their
      inception into the ETSI Technical Committee on Cyber Security (TC
      CYBER) via the OASIS-ETSI MoU.  TC CYBER took several steps.  It
      included the platforms within a Technical Report on structured
      information sharing.  See TR 103331.  It then explicitly included
      the platforms in a published Technical Report that the platforms
      are essential to the EU implementation of the Network Information
      Security (NIS) Directive.  See TR 103456.   This was an especially
      significant step because of ETSI's formal relationship with the
      EU.  Within the EU governance system, ETSI enjoys special status
      somewhat unique special status as (along with CEN/CENELEC) the
      designated standards body for sector standards among EU Member
      countries. 

    

    
It also published the specifications within two other published
      works (TR 103303 on critical infrastructure protection and
      TR103303, the Global Cyber Security Ecosystem encyclopedic work,
      worked jointly with ENISA to make a similar recommendation. 
      Lastly, it also highlighted the platforms at the annual ETSI
      Security Week workshops over the past three years which include
      representatives from the EC and most EU Members.   The work also
      continues.  At the next plenary meeting in February, TR 103333 is
      being updated to include the latest OASIS CTI specification
      developments.

    
All the documents are publicly, freely available and
      well-versioned with persistent identifiers at ETSI's document
      site.  See
      https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/WorkProgram/SimpleSearch/QueryForm.asp

      massive ensemble of 3GPP which develops the world's mobile
      communication standards, and for NFV, among others, is at

    I don't know anything at all about
        this
        process - but I noticed it specifically mentions the STIX 1.2
        and TAXII
        1.1 versions.

      

              ‘Structured Threat
        Information _expression_’ (‘STIX 1.2’) and ‘Trusted Automated

        of Indicator Information’ (‘TAXII 1.1’) developed by the
        Organization
        for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
        (‘OASIS’).

      

      How would we get STIX 2.0 and
        TAXII
        2.0 added to this? Anyone have any ideas? Or does it matter?
        Anyone have
        insights?
