Human resource development for international standardization activities has become a hot topic partly because of globalization and partly because of enterprise restructuring. Kurokawa[2] had summarized the status of 2005, and this paper updates the status as of 2006. We summarize the international meeting on "The Future of Global Education in Standards" held at Tokyo in February, 2006, which gave birth to International Committee for education about standardization (ICES). ICES 2007 was held at Delft in Netherlands in February 2007. ICES 2008 will be held at NIST, USA. Korean activities led by Korean Standards Association (KSA) have inspired the world in this area, and Japan Standards Association (JSA) and Hitotsubashi University have spawned new projects. Some of the issues and stumbling blocks on this area in Japan are also discussed : visualization, synchronization with world-wide activities, overcome of barriers with bureaucracy and academy, and promotion of young people.
