RECENT DICUSSIONS IN ITU-T ON COLLABORATION Reinhard Scholl, ITU GSC-18 Meeting, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis, France
Collaboration – one of three strategic goals of ITU-T • Recommendation ITU-T A.4 - Communication process between ITU-T and Forums and Consortia (1st version 1996) • Recommendation ITU-T A.5 - Generic procedures for including references to documents of other organizations in ITU-T Recommendations (1st version 1998) • Recommendation ITU-T A.6 - Cooperation and exchange of information between ITU-T and national and regional standards development organizations (1st version 1998) GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
ITU-T A.4/A.5/A.6 statistics ITU-T A.4/A.5/A.6 qualified organizations Most important aspect for qualification: IPR policy to be consistent with ITU IPR policy GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Collaboration with ISO & IEC • Resolution 7 - Collaboration with ISO and IEC • ITU-T A.23 - Guide for ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC1 cooperation • Long document (68 pages) • 10% of ITU-T Recommendations is “common text” with ISO/IEC JTC1 GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Revisiting collaboration • ITU-T Review Committee: Strategic and structural review of ITU-T • TSAG (Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group) • Rapporteur Group “Strengthening Collaboration” revisits ITU-T A.4/A.5/A.6 • Numerous discussions this year on collaboration GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Standardization landscape becomes more competitive • Convergence is a reality • Demarcation between SDOs is blurring • Overlap and duplication is a reality to be managed • SDO-shopping is a reality • ICT is everywhere • Different SDOs have different scopes, memberships, cultures, skills, procedures, regulatory environments GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Some key questions • How can ITU-T integrate another body’s text in its Recommendation? • By reference • By integrating all, or part, of the other body’s text, with or without modifications • Need to make sure that other body is “qualified”, in particular with respect to IPR policy GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Some key questions • How does ITU-T jointly develop “common text” with another body? • See ISO/IEC JTC1 example: successful but complex • Recently: ETSI and ITU-T on ICT & climate change • Joint development among standards bodies likely to increase in importance • Collaboration on ITS Communication Standards GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
