Talk:ETSI

Updating the ETSI info and adding how standards are made
I'm interested in updating this page by adding:-

- information about the Partnership Projects such as 3GPP - the Process of making standards (meetings and how they work). - a section on how to navigate ETSI based standards.

These references suck
They're all from the ETSI website. Wikipedia's stance is that if there isn't significant, verifiable press coverage, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reriksenus (talk • contribs) 04:35, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Here are some references
This page needs more references and probably a section about the standards they release in a condensed what/when history format.

Here are some references that I found but have no good place to put them

Possible orphan initialism
The https://www.etsi.org/ website seems to have removed almost all references to the name "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" and now references the organization solely as as "ETSI" (with a few exceptions). It seems perhaps the organization is changing it's name to an orphan initialism. I speculate that this might be to remove an implied limitation on the scope of its standards to telecommunications, or less likely, to Europe. In any case, I can't find a press release or other documentation of the name change, but wanted to document that the organization should probably be referred to simply as "ETSI" rather than "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" as the WP:COMMONNAME. It seems troublesome to change this article without having better sources than archived about pages on ETSI's website. Daask (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed it does seem like they're washed away where the acronym came from, though it's still mentioned once on their about page https://www.etsi.org/about, which seems like the expanded name was only mentioned in 1989 which seems highly unlikely. A good search of archive.org would probably be a worthy study by someone with time. Hardaker (talk) 09:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
