The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and Internet technologies.
They are officially recognized by the European Union as a European Standards Organization. The high quality of their work and their open approach to standardization has helped them evolve into a European & global operation with a solid reputation for technical excellence.
ETSI is a not-for-profit organization with 766 ETSI member organizations drawn from 63 countries across 5 continents world-wide.
The goal of ETSI TC GRID is to address issues associated with the convergence between IT and Telecommunications. The focus is on scenarios where connectivity goes beyond the local network. This includes not only Grid computing but also the emerging commercial trend towards Cloud computing which places particular emphasis on ubiquitous network access to scalable computing and storage resources.
Since TC GRID has particular interest in interoperability solutions in situations which involve contributions from both the IT and Telecom industries, the emphasis is on the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivery model. TC GRID focuses on interoperable applications and services based on global standards and the validation tools to support these standards. Evolution towards a coherent and consistent general purpose infrastructure is envisaged. This will support networked IT applications in business, public sector, academic and consumer environments.

The ETSI is also participating in a group that will coordinate cloud standards across Standard Development Organizations (SDOs). The new group has a Cloud Standards Coordination wiki at cloud-standards.org.
