Keeping Up With Standards Without Pretending You Can Keep Up

Heather explores why keeping up with standards development does not mean tracking everything. This episode looks at how a lightweight standards radar can surface emerging work across digital identity, AI, authorization, credentials, and related technologies, while recognizing that new ideas appear far faster than any individual can follow.

Discover how automation, structured public data, and human judgment can work together to identify what deserves closer attention. Heather explains why Internet-Drafts provide signals rather than certainty, how context reveals momentum, and why useful awareness—not perfect completeness—is the more realistic goal.
