Impact on society (7th Open Call)
Need for an EN: Many organizations engage with children intentionally; others engage with children in the course of their general activities. In each case the organization has a responsibility to that child to provide an age-appropriate service. This is not a marginal market, as one in three users is under 18.
The target stakeholders of this standard are society-wide: governments and policymakers; international institutions and civil society organizations; business and tech sector especially digital service providers; parents, teachers, and children.
The protection of children in the ICT world is a key issue and three domains are to develop complementary; including, age appropriate this work item, Age Assurance and Age verification. The two last topics are managed at ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC27/WG5 level the delineation between the three topics is important


Value of Research

In this fellowship the original objective is to start to prepare a NWI to address the age approriate topic and start the standard development. The aim is to improve the benefits and reduce the risks in the digital world for young users up to the age of 18. The solution is to adapt the content delivered by online products and services according to the age of users. Moreover, the process requires establishing the age/capacity of users, including age verification and age estimation. The CWA does NOT define age estimation and verification processes (Out of scope) but requires to select an appropriate age assurance tools/approach in conformity with established standards and official guidance.
