GSC16-OBS-03 ITU-T GSC – 16 Observer Presentation Karen Higginbottom, JTC 1 Chair

GSC16-OBS-03  title – Information Technology  scope -- International standardization in the field of Information Technology  vision statement –  JTC 1 is the standards development environment where experts come together to develop worldwide Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards for business and consumer applications.  Additionally, JTC 1 provides the standards approval environment for integrating diverse and complex ICT technologies. These standards rely upon the core infrastructure technologies developed by JTC 1 centers of expertise complemented by specifications developed in other organizations.  system integration is a key role

GSC16-OBS-03  size  over 2100 worldwide volunteers representing their countries in the international technical work  2435 published JTC 1 standards  short “market windows” – timing is very important  complex technical issues where standards from both inside JTC 1 and from consortia must be made to interoperate

GSC16-OBS-03  36 Participating / 55 Observer members (JTC 1)  Over 320 liaison relationships  Total number of active standards – 2122  New work items this year – 199  Number of active work items this year – 603  9 Publicly Available Specification (PAS) Submitters

GSC16-OBS-03  18 Subcommittees  2 Working Groups  Corporate Governance of IT, Sensor Networks  4 Special Working Groups  Accessibility, Smart Grid, Directives, Planning  1 Vocabulary Maintenance Team
