And this article is going a long way towards expressing just how they plan
to do that, now that after 2 (well almost 3) months of delays, the RFP is
out... sort of.

And talk about TRUE DOUBLE SPEAK DOUBLE SPEAK...  read this portion of the
article and see if you can tell me what it means, cuz I'm lost!  This sounds
as if it came right out of "Alice in Wonderland"... we are developing
standards, but they're NOT REALLY standards, they're tests that show stuff
works!

"Finally, NIST announced Thursday that it has decided to help facilitate the
collaborative development of standards for cloud computing in an effort it
calls Standards Acceleration to Jumpstart Adoption of Cloud Computing
(SAJACC). According to Dawn Leaf, NIST's new senior executive for cloud
computing, SAJACC aims to accelerate the development of cloud standards and
develop some consensus around elements of cloud computing which are amenable
to standardization.

In general terms, SAJACC will define specific use cases cloud computing
standards could cover, such as moving a virtual machine between clouds,
develop methods to test whether those scenarios are actually possible by
creating test specs and executing against them, and posting this information
on a cloud standards portal that it plans to launch.

"We're not trying to write cloud computing standards, but are trying to do
some testing on reasonable system interfaces or specifications of systems
and make the test results available so people can see something is
absolutely possible because the test results show it," NIST senior computer
scientist Lee Badger said Thursday."

Even when Frank Gorshin played The Riddler on Batman he couldn't come up
with one THIS good!
