Public Policy - New York, New York, United States
eStandardsForum of the Financial Standards Foundation was founded in 2001 by the late George Vojta. It promoted sound global economic growth fostered by a transparent, stable financial system of effective institutions and policies. The principal vehicle to achieve its mission was the independent, unbiased assessments of the compliance of 93 countries with the 12 Key Standards for Sound Financial Systems (http://www.financialstabilityboard.org/cos/key_standards.htm) based on the analysis of publicly available information. Such information proved critical for the proper risk management for investors and offered an important benchmark for countries. The Financial Standards Foundation provided this information free of charge, as a public good. At the time, and till today, eStandardsForum was the only resource aggregating such critical information from a wide number of sources and providing it to the public in a ready-to-use format. Upon the untimely death of George Vojta in late 2010, eStandardsForum's operations had to be terminated. The website with is trove of country data, which had an average of 2,000 unique daily visitors, was taken offline in May 2011.
