NIST Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap Draft Publishes

[Greg Pfister]

Right here: http://goo.gl/ajUq3

Volume 1 includes:

Requirement 1: International Voluntary Consensus-based Interoperability, Portability, and Security Standards

Requirement 2: Solutions for High-Priority Security Requirements

Requirement 3: Technical Specifications for High-Quality Service Agreements

Requirement 4: Clear and Consistently Categorized Cloud Services <which, on reading must be based on NIST's reference architecture>

...

and so on, 10 in total. I guess you're allowed to innovate under Requirement 8, "Future Cloud" development initiatives.
