Memo 38 Circulations I hope that my book will be read by many different groups. First of all, I would like it to be read by graduate students in the fields of sts, public policy, and political science. I hope that it will change the way standards are been understood in a way that even though they are not laws that directly apply to what we should and can do, in our everyday lives, have a power of defining our way of living and acting. At the same time I hope that it will be read by members of civil society organizations and give them an insight of how their side is been perceived, valued, or dismissed by the decision makers. In addition I hope that it will might serve as a advisory text, by suggesting ways in which those same groups can be heard and have an impact in policy making. I really hope that my book will be read by policy makers as well. Make them understand the different complications of developing standards and the needs of different groups. I hope it will give a new perspective in the development of standards, one where technical/expertise advice is not the only accurate and needed for the purposes of developing and harmonizing data.
