ISO/IEC JTC 1

1. ISO/IEC JTC 1 ITU-T GSC – 16 Observer Presentation Karen Higginbottom, JTC 1 Chair

2. ISO/IEC JTC 1 • title – Information Technology • scope -- International standardization in the field of Information Technology • vision statement – • JTC 1 is the standards development environment where experts come together to develop worldwide Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards for business and consumer applications. • Additionally, JTC 1 provides the standards approval environment for integrating diverse and complex ICT technologies. These standards rely upon the core infrastructure technologies developed by JTC 1 centers of expertise complemented by specifications developed in other organizations. • system integration is a key role

3. JTC 1 • size • over 2100 worldwide volunteers representing their countries in the international technical work • 2435 published JTC 1 standards • short “market windows” – timing is very important • complex technical issues where standards from both inside JTC 1 and from consortia must be made to interoperate

4. Broad engagement • 36 Participating / 55 Observer members (JTC 1) • Over 320 liaison relationships • Total number of active standards – 2122 • New work items this year – 199 • Number of active work items this year – 603 • 9 Publicly Available Specification (PAS) Submitters

5. Structure of JTC 1 • 18 Subcommittees • 2 Working Groups • Corporate Governance of IT, Sensor Networks • 4 Special Working Groups • Accessibility, Smart Grid, Directives, Planning • 1 Vocabulary Maintenance Team

6. JTC 1 Subcommittees • SC 2 Coded Character Sets • SC 6 Telecommunications and information exchange between systems • SC 7 Software and systems engineering • SC 17 Cards and personal identification • SC 22 Programming Languages, their environments and system software interfaces • SC 23 Digitally recorded media for information interchange and storage • SC 24 Computer graphics, image processing and environmental data representation • SC 25 Interconnection of information technology equipment • SC 27 IT security techniques • SC 28 Office equipment • SC 29 Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information • SC 31 Automatic identification and data capture techniques • SC 32 Data management and interchange • SC 34 Document description and processing languages • SC 35 User interfaces • SC 36 Information technology for learning, education and training • SC 37 Biometrics • SC 38 Distributed Application Platform and Services

7. Study Groups • Digital Content Management and Protection • Energy Efficient of Data Centers • Green ICT

8. Collaboration with ITU-T • ITU-T has Category A liaison with JTC 1 • Many relationships at the working group level • Collaborative Interchange • Each organization meets independently • Develop technically aligned text • Publication within each organization • Collaborative Team • Participants from both organizations • Synchronized approval process (following each organization own process) • Joint text publications • Common patent policy

9. Joint Texts • 32 joint or aligned text published since August 2010 • 14 dealing with Directory Services • Includes 18 Corrigenda and 4 Amendments • New collaborative work • Video coding • Object identifier (2) • JPEG (4) • Relayed multicast protocol • Mobile multicast communications • Security framework for ubiquitous sensor network • Biometry
