  9. ITU’s 3 Sectors: Standards, Radiocommunications and Development ITU-T Standardization ITU-D Development ITU-R Radiocommunication

  10. ITU-T’s strategic goals • To develop interoperable, non-discriminatory international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) • To assist in bridging the standardization gap between developed and developing countries • To extend and facilitate international cooperation among international, regional and national standardization bodies Malcolm Johnson TSB Director

  11. Bridging the Standardization Gap (BSG) • BSG is one of the three strategic goals of ITU-T • The gap is defined as the disparities in the ability of developing countries, relative to developed ones, to access, implement, contribute to and influence international ICT standards, specifically ITU‐T Recommendations. • Bridging the standardization gap: PP Res 123, WTSA Res 44 and WTDC Res 47

  12. WTSA-12 Action Plan • Strengthen Standard Making Capability • Assist Developing Countries in Standards Implementation • Develop Human Resources

  13. TSB Actions • E-learning courses: • Rec. ITU-T A.1 – Work Methods of Study Groups • QoS (under development) • Provide assistance to developing countries to establish a national organization structure to coordinate standardization activities • Regional Standardization Forums back to back with meetings of regional organizations • Mentor for SGs • Standards Q&A (http://groups.itu.int/itu-t/StandardsQA.aspx)

  14. ITU-T collaborates with standards organizations to avoid overlap 40+ formal partnerships
