Report of TC Emerging Technology Subcommittee Activities Anil Kripalani, WirefreeCom Chair, ETSC

Meetings ETSC has held 3 meetings since the last TC meeting – July 29 th – August 24th – September 28 th All meetings are held by teleconference Each meeting is scheduled for 1.5 hours

Participation The last three meetings have had a average attendance of 17 individuals representing 20 different companies. Contributions have been provided which drive discussion

Evaluation Process A 3 step technology evaluation method was adopted – Step 1 respond to seven questions about the technology – Step 2 discussion in the ETSC to determine move forward with new work or further discussion necessary. (Possible formation of a subgroup) – Step 3 recommend to the TC for work to be 1) remanded to an existing Committee (and then the Committee can decide where that work goes), or to 2) create a new Committee

Evaluation Process Seven Questions: – What is the candidate technology? – What industry does this technology impact? – What aspect of this technology needs standardization? – Who are the TIA member companies or potential companies that support this technology? – Are there any associations/organizations that work in this area? – Do those associations make standards in this technology area? – Does the expertise for standardizing this technology already exist in the TIA community?

Contributions Intelligent Oblique Imagery technology brought by a new TIA member Pictometry International for discussion and possible standardization Smart Utilities Network technology brought by MJL consultants on behalf of Silver Spring Networks New Encryption technologies for standardization brought by new TIA company CEBA Tech.

Results CEBAtech technology is recommended to be assigned to TR30 for standardization work (TR-30.1 most suitable). Proposal for new Engineering Committee on SUN before the TC at the Oct. meeting Formed a subgroup to develop proposition paper for Cloud Computing, Oblique Imagery technology still under review by ETSC

Conclusion ETSC has been very successful Our next meeting will be on November 4 th from 12:30-2:00 pm ET
