The mission of the Metaverse Acceleration and Sustainability Association (MASA) is to undertake activities to accelerate the development of metaverse-related technologies, ecosystems and markets across the world, and to do so in a sustainable manner, supporting sustainable development goals. Our workstreams include but are not limited to: - Landscape, Outlook, and Roadmaps - Open Standards, Conformity Assessment and Certification - Open-Source Reference Implementations and Pilot Applications - Digital Assets Pool and Exchange - Innovation-Driving Competitions and Rankings - Advocacy and Lobbying for Broad Acceptance and Adoption - Coordination for Responsible Development: Safety, Privacy, Ethics, Inclusion, and Sustainability - Metaverse Commercialization, Capitalization, and Monetization

The Object Management Group(R) Standards Development Organization (OMG(R) SDO) is an international (27 countries), membership-driven (230+ organizations) and not-for-profit consortiumMISSION STATEMENTTo generate technology standards (250+) that provide quantifiable real-world value to all vertical industries. That is why we are dedicated to bringing together our international membership community of end-users, researchers and vendors in academia government and industry to develop and revise our standards as technologies change over time.VISIONTo provide a neutral forum where best practices from a wide range of fields can be discussed and standards can be generated that drive the adoption and innovation of cutting-edge technology spanning industries worldwide. Our Standards Process is fair, robust, transparent, and well-documented, while our standards are implemented everywhere: agriculture (DDS), autonomous vehicles (DDS), avionics (SysML & UML), business (BPMN), energy (DDS), finance (FIBO & FIGI), healthcare (DDS), military (DDS, SysML, UML), retail (UPOS), telecommunications, transportation (DDS), and space (DDS, GEMS, SOLM, XTCE, XUSP). Our one organization-one vote policy ensures that every member organization, despite size, has an effective voice in our voting process."
