GlobalPlatform is a nonprofit organization that creates and publishes specifications for secure chip technology.
Organizational structure
GlobalPlatform members drive the organization through a Board of Directors, an Advisory Council, three technical committees, five strategic task forces (ID, internet-of-things,[1] mobile,[2] premium content,[3] and security) and two regional task forces (China and Japan.) Day-to-day activity is managed by an executive team comprising an executive director, technical director, operations secretariat and compliance secretariat.
Membership
The membership collectively creates organizational strategy and defines technical work priorities for the committees and market task forces.[4]
The GlobalPlatform membership combines active representation from diverse sectors closely associated with secure chip technology deployment, including payment, mobile NFC, government/ID, transit, healthcare and retail. Sector specific members include payment associations, mobile network operators, public sector organizations and government agencies.[5]
