Hello my name is Pilar Orero,
I work at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Spain,
and I work in the project traction.
I'm 61 years of age, I have gray hair, I usually some wear brown glasses,
right now I’ve got them on my head, and right now I’m in my terrace in Barcelona.
So, on the one hand I take the role of ethical manager
and I make sure we have an ethical certification
and these ethic requests are fulfilled every time we have an interaction with end users.
And on the other hand what I do is participate in the standardization agency,
so basically, what I have to do is understand and or ask my colleagues,
what are they doing that may be important for standardization.
Basically, what I do is a liaison between TRACTION and the standardization agency,
both at national in Spain, and at international level in ISO,
and also for ITU, that is the UN agency for communication,
that also does standardization and we also participate there.
Standardization is one of the issues in traction and also for resilience
when the project Traction is finished because we are new ways
to distribute a media content and that means to understand and to test
existing standards for example, for video compression or for audio in 360.
And also, on the other hand as well on the human side,
for example, with easy to read, so all these learnings we are learning new ways of creating subtitling,
that we will have from the project, they will be fed into standardization agencies.
The standardization agencies they have committees,
So in each of these committees, they have meetings,
either monthly or sometimes weekly.
and that’s how we will support the development of a standard
that is is good for everybody, by understanding how does it work,
how does it behave in one application or 2 applications that is is good for everybody, by understanding how does it work,
how does it behave in one application or 2 applications
and then all together we will make a better standard. how does it behave in one application or 2 applications
and then all together we will make a better standard.
So, whatever is brought into the standardization agency
will remain for many years to come. So, whatever is brought into the standardization agency

And that’s very important because traction is paid by the taxpayers’ money,
and in a way, we have to return to the taxpayer some of the benefits,
so that way it means Traction will be contributing to standardization
and the standardization will go a long way after TRACTION finishes. so that way it means Traction will be contributing to standardization
