How does SCOPE relate to & interact with other specifications organizations?
SCOPE is not a specification body, SCOPE creates profiles or subsets of existing specifications that it believes should be used in the implementation of COTS & FOSS building blocks that are best suited for Carrier Grade Base Platforms. Other bodies such as PICMG, SAF and Linux Foundation are composed of many companies from various industries and therefore have different objectives leading to the creation of specifications that are broad in scope with many options suited for different industries. As a formal body SCOPE will liaise with relevant industry organizations but will not, as an organization, make contributions to other organizations. It will leverage the extensive mutual membership between SCOPE and other related organizations.
