  1. Excerpts from Presentation at ICSCA VIII-2 Berlin, Germany, 27 February 2002 by Houlin ZHAO Director Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) International Telecommunication Union, Geneva Place des Nations - CH-1211 Geneva 20 – Switzerland Tel: +41 22 730 5851 Fax: +41 22 730 5853 E-mail: tsbdir@itu.int ITU Home page address: http://www.itu.int Present situation and future vision of ITU-T

  2. ITU mainly financed by Governments • work dominated by industry • procedures very efficient, no longer slow • seek effective cooperation with SDOs to share the work • should be open to emerging technologies • should be open to researchers / students • try to keep its pre-eminent status Situation of ITU Standardization

  3. Questions (projects) • Contributions driven (normal contributions, delayed contributions, temporary documents) • face-to-face meeting: • - debate, determination, approval of reports, approval of Questions - SG/WP meetings: decision making; Rapporteur meetings: develop texts • Decision = consensus, unanimous agreements • Recommendations (Amendments, Corrigenda, supplements) • draft Recommendations, determined draft Recommendations • approved Recommendations, pre-published Recommendations, published Recommendations • Implementor’s Guides • Meeting reports • Electronic submissions, web consultations, email, ftp • Paperless meeting – LAN/Wireless – LAN connections in meeting rooms Working methods

  4. (Others: such as ISO, IEC, ISOC/IETF, INTELSAT, INMARSAT, EUTELSAT,ETSI, CEPT…) ITU-T Members

  5. (Note – Cisco: 13) Top Members participation (07/98-08/00)

  6. (Some SDOs receive secretariat support from their members; such expenditures are not counted in the budget.) Company’s dues to SDOs(ITU-T Associates = US $ 6,000)

  8. ISO, IEC, ISO/IEC JTC 1 cooperation since the 1970s; common texts since 1992 • WTSA-2000 Resolution 7, Recommendation A.23 Joint President Cooperation Group (JPCG)  World Standards Cooperation (WSC) • IETF ITU-T Member since 1995 • MoU PSO, July 1999; provide secretarial support to PSO, since 08/01 • Joint management team meetings in 11/99 and 08/01 • ETSI ITU-T Member since early 1990s MoU cooperation in June 2000 • ISO, IEC, UN/ECE MoU on e-business in March 2000 • GSC (Global Standards Collaboration): Since March 1994 TTA, TTC, ARIB, ETSI, T1, TIA, TSACC, ACIF, ITU ITU-T coordination with SDOs

  9. Members for Rec. A.4, A.5and A.6 relationship

  10. Cooperation on common subjects (liaisons, communications, mutual participation) • Cooperation on workshops • ITU-T provide draft texts and other documents to SDOs to post for public consultation • ITU’s permission for SDOs to reproduce ITU-T texts • More to be done for mutual benefit: market study, joint promotion, mutual reference, joint conferences, efficient coordination, common IPR policy, etc. Cooperation activities with SDOs(General)

  11. In the past - control by governments with participation of industry - international coordination by a few recognized SDOs Today - market-oriented - shared by government / regulator / service providers / vendors - consultant / researcher / student participation - many SDOs (national, regional, multinational, international) Working forces for internationaltelecommunication standardization

  12. rapid development of technologies • liberalization of markets • globalization of economy • convergence of services • conflicts of markets interest vs global availability • many SDOs • limited resources • expert’s prejudices based on the past • IPR issues Challenges to standardization

  13. nobody can do everything, but everybody wants more • out-of-control creation of forums / consortia / SDOs • no effective cooperation among forums / consortia / SDOs, but competition • industry suffers from heavy involvement with too many SDOs they created / sponsored (hundreds in the market) • established international SDOs not used efficiently (exploring use of existing SDOs vs proliferation of SDOs) Challenges to SDOs
