ITU-T should strengthen presence in certain areas • e-Health • Accessibility • ICTs and climate change • Internet of Things/M2M • Intelligent Transport Systems • Cybersecurity including Identity management • IPTV, cloud computing and smart grid • Conformity and interoperability
Global Standards Symposiuman “all star” standards day • Monday, 19 Nov 2012 • Ministers, Ambassadors, CEOs, CTOs, senior executives from the private sector and lead officials from other standards bodies. • Themes: • Bridging the Standardization Gap: from innovation to standards • Global Standards Challenges • e.g., e-health; resilience of networks to disasters • Global Standards Collaboration: Roundtable
The GSS “Confusion and duplication cannot serve the purposes of anyone… consumer, manufacturer, service provider, rich or poor country. Clarity, and efficiency must be brought to bear in this – most important of industrial sectors.” (Malcolm Johnson)
…the standardization gap? • The standardization development gap is defined as disparities in the ability of developing countries, relative to developing ones, to access, implement, contribute to and influence international ICT standards. • The standardization development gap is itself both a cause and a manifestation of the wider digital divide • It contributes to the persistence of the wider digital divide
Measuring the Gap • Number of TIES users • Number of downloads of ITU-T Recs from website site • Number of Sector Members and Associates • Number of chairmen, vice-chairmen and rapporteurs from developing countries • Number of participants in meetings and contributions by country
Bridging the Standardization Gap (Res 44) • One of the three strategic goals of ITU-T • Web : http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/gap/Pages/default.aspx • 40 new countries participating • BSG Fund : CHF 289,000 - 2012 : CHF 190,087 • Reduced membership fees (CHF 3,975 PA) + Fellowships • Increase Remote participation • Mentoring Programme + Mentor role in Study Groups • New Focus Group - Bridging the gap: from Innovations to Standards • http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/innovation
Bridging the Standardization Gap (Res 44) • Workshops and Technical Tutorials • Regional Groups • Technical Manuals on ITU-T Recommendations • Increase number of officials (Chairs / Rapporteurs) from developing countries in ITU-T Study Groups • Standards Q&A Online Forum
