INCITS TC Officers annual symposium
Karen Higginbottom, Chair

2. ISO/IEC JTC 1 created in 1987 – celebrating our 30 year anniversary!
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

3. JTC 1 Background
size
4500 worldwide experts representing their countries in the international technical work
over 3007 published JTC 1 standards
short “market windows” – timing is very important
global marketplace
complex technical issues where standards from both inside JTC 1 and from consortia must be made to interoperate

4. Broad engagement over 400 liaison relationships within the SCs
33 Participating members / 61 Observer members
over 400 liaison relationships within the SCs
JTC 1 level Category A liaison with Ecma-International
unique Partner Standards Developing Organization (PSDO) relationship with IEEE
Collaboration with ITU-T
Interest from CEN/CENELEC for greater “pick up” of JTC 1 standards

5. Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) Transposition Process
opportunity to partner with consortia
unique process for National Body approval
240 submissions are international ISO/IEC standards
13 PAS Submitters
DMTF, GS1, NESMA, OASIS, OMG, Open Connectivity Foundation, Open Geospatial Consortium, SMPTE, SNIA, Spice Users Group, The Open Group, Trusted Computing Group, W3C

6. Structure of JTC 1 21 Subcommittees 2 JTC 1 level Working Groups
SC 41 Internet of Things and related technologies
WG 7 Sensor Networks
WG 10 Internet of Things
2 JTC 1 level Working Groups
WG 9 Big Data
WG 11Smart Cities
Study Group on 3D Printing and Scanning
JTC 1 Advisory Group
Meets 2X/year, provides advice to the JTC 1 Chair
JAG Group on Global Advanced Industrial Systems
Special Working Group on Emerging Technologies and Innovations

7. System integration (covered thoroughly later today . . .)
Effort led by US
Standing Document 24 – Systems Integration Standardization Guidelines
JAG serves as JTC 1 System Integration governing entity
Manage SI projects, work on conflict areas, collaborate outside JTC 1, provide SI strategy, monitor new work, provide governance policy and SI guidelines, recommend creation/disbandment of SI entities, assign facilitators
Role of Study Groups, SI Entities, Implementation Guidelines, Facilitation description
Coordination/representation in ISO/IEC system efforts
How to deal with verticals? Smart XYZ?

8. Proliferation of New “coordination” functions (no assurances I have them all properly accounted for at any given time)
IEC ad hoc groups
Systems Activities, Working with Consortia
IEC SEGs (individuals participate)
Smart Cities, Low Voltage, Electrotech for Mobility, Non-conventional Distribution Networks/Micro Grids, Smart Manufacturing, Communication Technologies, Smart Home/Office Building Systems
IEC SysC
Active Assisted Living, Electrotech Aspects Smart Cities, Smart Energy
ISO TMB efforts (only TMB names members)
SAGs -- Ageing Societies, Industry 4.0/Smart Manufacturing
AHG on Smart Cities
Standing Smart Cities Task Force
Smart Manufacturing Coordinating Committee

9. Expansion of ict everywhere
ISO TC 307 – Blockchain and Electronic Distributed Ledger Technology
ISO PC 308 – Chain of Custody
ISO TC 309 – Governance of Organizations
IEC TC Wearable Electronic Devices and Technologies
ITU-T
The many consortia
Enhanced Liaison function
How can JTC 1 help to make your organization develop better standards?

10. JTC 1 Outreach Developing Country Workshop
Both ISO and IEC working with JTC 1 Chair/Secretary to hold Developing Country session in Vladivostok
Information to assist countries to set up JTC 1 mirror committees
Learn value of JTC 1 standardization
Sessions with other IEC TCs at General Meeting
Regional Debrief
Africa

11. ISO and IEC support
Both organizations updating their online tools – don’t seem to be talking to one another
Working toward collaboration support, remote participation
IEC to provide support for SC 41, will be taking over full support for SC 25, believe valuable correlation to SC 39
JAG group to respond to TMB Resolution 28/2017 (10 countries to participate)

12. Impact of term limits Sought relief from TMB/SMB for migration plan
14 of SC Chairs term limit out by 2018
SCs with new Chairs and maybe Secretary
SC 7 (Canada to India)
SC 25 (still Germany)
SC 6, SC 17, SC 22, SC 24, SC 27, SC 28, SC 29
Training of Secretaries by NBs . . .
Chair-Elect important!

13. Procedure mandates
Seeking that all Supplements (including JTC 1) become more closely aligned
JAG group to address harmonization proposal
Processes are “hardwired” into ISO systems
Ballots (DIS/FDIS at SC level) – NBs addressing local processes
Meeting participation platform

14. How issues are escalated
Let us know!!!
