Progress update on ITU-T FG on ICT & CC Dave Faulkner Chairman
Contents • Setting the scene • How can our work impact Climate Change? • Status of 4 Deliverables • How can we help move the work forward? • Notice to presenters of Contributions • Where would your Contribution fit in D3? • Highlight which text should be used and where it could go • Main body=methodologies • Appendix = case studies
Opening Remarks • It is good see strong support from our host country (Japan) • We hope you find our work thought provoking and helpful in promoting your ‘green agenda’ • This week our main objective is to finalise Deliverable 3 on Methodologies • In view of the urgency of tackling climate change we need to focus on agreeing the main message • We should not be sidetracked by details which can be tidied up via the Editors • To date we have had two face to face meetings and 28 teleconferences • Editors and FG members have worked in cooperation via email etc to produce baseline texts for the 4 deliverables and an executive summary
Scene Setting-How can our work impact Climate Change? • By reducing need for fossil fuel burn • ITU Recommendations typically specify signals between ‘black boxes’ • These signals can be modified to allow low duty-cycle operation • Standby modes • Management signals assist in fault location/rerouting • Engineering visits can be scheduled to avoid wasted trips • ICTs are used in other sector’s devices to improve efficiency • E.g. satellite navigation to assist farmer’s harvesting • ICTs are used to substitute for other sector’s emissions • Travel • Sensor systems to measure climate parameters for scientific purpose and/or adaptation • E.g. Satellite spectrum management • Terrestrial systems • Alerts

How can we help move the work forward? • Developing new ideas in your own company • Sharing these ideas internationally via standards • Become involved in ITU • By making contributions • Into the FG Deliverable 3 • With likely follow up in new Recommendations (after TSAG meets in April) • Directly into existing SGs • Recommendations can be updated • E.g. Standby modes • By examining Questionnaire responses and spotting an opportunity to work on a ‘green’ issue inside a SG
Some things to think about this week • What opportunities do you have for leadership in the ‘green’ area • James Hansen Director of NASA said last week “We can no longer allow politicians and business to twist and ignore science” • “The scientists can connect the dots and define the implications of different policy choices and we should make clear those implications.”* • Would your line manager at work support you in a new project objective to reduce your own or your company’s carbon footprint? • Would a reference from FG Chairman help you launch this? • Can your company feed into your country’s green agenda • E.g. wider take up of travel avoidance ideas? • Who else in your company could help you? • If you have to leave before Friday please speak to Dave who has a small gift for you! *http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5908377.ece
Next Steps for FG • Finalize Report to TSAG • Deliverable 3 to be completed in March • Executive Summary to be updated to include the findings of this meeting • This will include gaps identified in D2 and elsewhere in the deliverables • Direct input to TSAG from ITU membership • TSAG to decide what follow-on work is required and in what group (28-30 April)
Reminder to Presenters: Proposed Contents for“Contribution” • Some pointers for your presentation follow • Scope of your contribution • Brief outline of work done so far • Benefits: How will your work impact Climate Change? • How can ITU help move the proposal forward? • Are any links to other standards bodies required? • What is your proposition (e.g. brief summary of supporting document) • Where would your contribution fit in D3? • Highlight which text should be used and where it could go • Main body=methodologies • Appendix = case studies
Reminder to Presenters: Tutorial / Case study • What is your idea/Proposal/Challenge? • What is your solution/technology? • What are the benefits? • Why are you/your company doing the work? • What are the issues/problems to overcome? • Have you any examples/case studies to share? • Which methodology did you use? • Etc…
