  1. SOS Interop III ETSI, Sophia Antipolis, 20-21 February 2006 SOS InteropStocktaking and Next Steps Karl Heinz Rosenbrock, Director General Margot Dor, Business development & Partnerships ETSI

  2. Why we started SOS Interop • Market watch  factors impacting ICT standards making • Fragmentation of ICT markets –including standards making • Usage/applications-driven technology developments • ICT increasingly software intensive • Stakes moving up towards upper layers (middleware…) • Industrial strategies with open source software • Interoperability, which flavor? (ex ante/ex-post) • Questions for ETSI • How to get the big picture? • How disruptive the above? / How to adapt? • What standards to enable the creation of value/industrial ecosystems around a technology?

  3. In addition • Intensive activity from policy makers • Study on ICT standardization in EU (DG ENTR) • Communication on Interoperability (DG ENTR) • Revision Directive 98/34 (DG ENTR) • EU Interoperability Framework for e-gov (IDABC, DG ENTR) • ICT Task force (DG INFSO/DG ENTR) • Consultation on patent system in EU (DG Internal market) • And in other regions as well (US Congress, FTC, DoJ…) • Issues for ETSI • How to get the big picture? • How to ensure we work together at an early stage? • How to influence?

  4. The SOS Initiative Standards, open standards and Interoperability • The Way • Pro-active approach with the workshop series (“It’s not peace we’re seeking, it’s meaning”) • The Objectives • Understanding issues and stakes from market players • Agree on key problem(s) definition(s) • Analyze implications on strategy and methods • Progress towards solutions in a concerted manner

  5. SOSInterop I, May 05 • Very good response from stakeholders • Three main tracks identified • Interoperability: same goal, new meanings  where do we go from here? • Open standards, many definitions to choose from… • IPR policy: can one size fit all? • A variety of viewpoints (sometimes conflicting) yet a consensus that topics and timing were key to ICT industry and that ETSI should pursue with the initiative

  6. SOSInterop II, September 05 • Participation raised in number and geographically (overseas) • A day and a half event – opportunity for more debates, more networking • Plenary sessions and 3 break out sessions - moderated by Members. • Follow up on tracks • Interoperability: focus on Technical Interoperability (conformity and interoperability tests and Inter-working)  architecture, standards integration. • Open standards: go ahead with criteria as defined at GSC#10 • IPRs in standards: ask GA to create an IPR working group to progress on identified issues.

  7. SOSInterop III, February 06 • Taking stock of the way the work is progressing on Interoperability • Continue developing issues relating to interoperability of software and industrial strategies with regards to open source software • Explore economic and policy implications of IP issues and potential impacts on standards making

  8. SOS Interop III“Demandez le programme”

  9. SOS Interop and IPRR, two different animals SOS 1 Issues induced by a definition of « open standards »  3 tracks SOS 3 Beyond definitions Technical interop > moving forward OSS and standards Policy issues and economics of IP in standards SOS 2 Open standards Interoperability IPRs in standards GSC#10 GA#46 SOS Process IPR Reform Committee IPRR Process

  10. Quote from a key market player « ETSI is the only shop in town where those issues are being discussed » …. So what’s next?
