ISO/DIS 24946 Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies — Requirements and guidance for establishing, improving, preserving, and assessing the privacy capability of DLT systems: The document specifies DLT related requirements for establishing, improving, preserving, and assessing the privacy capability of DLT systems.
This standard will provide the means (e.g., APIs) for a decentralized media rights ecosystem based on widely deployed MPEG technologies (e.g., audio-visual codecs, file formats, streaming protocols, and smart contracts) and non-MPEG technologies (e.g., DLTs, content and creator IDs).
This project will specify the governance model for DAOs regarding three facets; IN CHAIN FACET: infrastructure level, where DAO membership requires an entity to only run a node of the DLT network (e.g. join a permissioned DLT network). ON CHAIN FACET: transaction and smart contract level, where DAO membership requires an entity to interact with a specific smart contract, or send specific transactions (e.g. register with a particular smart contract). OFF CHAIN FACET: non DLT system level, where DAO membership requires an entity to perform additional non-DLT activities (e.g. protect data privacy). The three facets can be used individually or as a blend in any variation for completeness as the minimum governance.This project will specify the governance model for DAOs regarding three facets; IN CHAIN FACET: infrastructure level, where DAO membership requires an entity to only run a node of the DLT network (e.g. join a permissioned DLT network).

The sectors of Digital Twins, Virtual Worlds/Citiverse, IoT and Data Spaces are fragmented, especially the uneven uptake of NGSI‑LD, Smart Data Models/SAREF and governance models creates a barrier for cross‑domain interoperability in cities. Therefore, I focus on harmonising these layers within ITU‑T Citiverse and EU Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox. I also contribute to aligning LDT and Data Space governance with UNE 0087:2025 and the Gaia‑X Trust Framework to operationalise sovereignty, compliance and automated conformance. Moreover, I contribute to mapping LDT/MIM8, NGSI‑LD, SIMPL and Citiverse deliverables to speed deployment and avoid duplicate or conflicting specs.
Standardisation in the field of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies is imperative to promote interoperability, security, and innovation across European markets. The rapid evolution of these technologies has led to a fragmented landscape of standards globally. This fragmentation presents challenges such as hindered cross-border data flow and increased compliance burdens on European businesses. My activity aims to address these critical gaps by actively participating in the creation of comprehensive, internationally recognized standards.
My engagement in the Joint ISO/TC 307 - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 WG directly supports this action. By actively participating in WG, I am bolstering Europe's representation and influence in shaping global standards in this transformative domain.
From a European perspective, this activity is pivotal. Europe seeks to not only embrace but lead in the adoption and implementation of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies. By participating in the development of standards, we ensure that Europe's interests, values, and priorities are ingrained in the foundation of these technologies. This is paramount for bolstering Europe's digital sovereignty, fostering innovation, and ensuring that European businesses remain competitive on the global stage.
