The resulting standard element from this work will support legislative initiatives in the EU for implementing the digital product passport for ICT products in Europe and globally. This work focuses on environmental information for ICT products, and is complementary to other digital standards about the DPP in Europe and globally. Also, this a relevant standard for any size organisation that produces or modifies ICT products that are part, involved in any stage, of the circular economy

The resulting standards from the ITU-T L.GPSIM work item will support legislative initiatives in the EU about ecodesign and sustainable products to remove data sanitization as a risk and barrier to the circular economy (reuse and other circular processes to extend product lifespan) and for the implementation and evaluation of circular economy initiatives.

Every aspect of cybersecurity has a high priority. Access control needs to be timely in place to prevent unauthorised access.

This updated standard will allow users (relying parties) to access certificate information for the whole of Europe and be a significant contributor to the single market. The two priorities selected are cybersecurity and interoperability.
The whole scope of DPKI and the proposed access secure protocols are primarily related to cybersecurity. The proposed access protocol will use robust and trusted cryptographic algorithms to protect the protocols. It is prepared for migration to quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms (crypto agility).
In parallel, any communication protocol is designed for interoperability and the two proposed protocols are no exception. Interoperability is a necessity.

The following objectives of the NIST MDKP GAFB Specification provide unique Use Cases for 5G, 6G and Future Networks:
“Requirements for Enablers for Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility” that facilitate the leveraging of dynamic resources and assets availability in various sector domains when they are discoverable for use in dynamic on-demand network(s) and differentiated connectivity services formations; and/or application-layer service innovation, composition and delivery using the newly formed networks and connectivity services or ones already available such that they can serve the needs of the targeted application layer service(s).
New ecosystem on Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility (i.e., coined the “MD_KPs_Feds_For_5GnB ” Ecosystem) in which ETSI GANA Knowledge Plane (KP) Platforms (based on the ETSI TS 103 195-2) as Distributed Open Platforms (DOPs) that enable federated Autonomic/Autonomous Networking (ANs) should play role as anchors for the ecosystem, together with DOPs on the higher level, namely: Service Federation Orchestration & Autonomic Management & Control Platforms that dynamically place demands for differentiated and federated network connectivity services on the GANA (KP) Platforms.

This NIST MDKP PWG initiative presents a tremendous opportunity for the adoption and use of global standards developed in Europe by ETSI in the USA market to steer commerce and open up new collaborations opportunities between USA and Europe stakeholders for commerce and innovation of services and GANA KP Platforms products by industrial players in these markets. This also has an effect of strengthening Europe's position in global standardisation initiatives thanks to the adoption of ETSI standards in US for global reach and use outside Europe. A New Ecosystem is emerging from the NIST Specifications which have potential to reduce Carbon Emissions, thanks to Nework Sharing.
