2. Establishment of new SG5 & JCA
TSAG of ITU-T, in April 2009, received reports from FG-ICT&CC and approved the establishment of a new SG5 on “Environment and Climate Change” and a new Joint Coordination Activity (JCA) on ICT&CC.
In the future, study items closely related to those covered by existing SGs will be assigned to the existing Questions under the respective SGs.

SG5 of ITU-T, in May 2009, approved the Questions of Working Party 3 as follows:
(1) Q17/5: Coordination and planning of ICT&CC- related standardization;
(2) Q18/5: Methodology of environmental impact assessment of ICT;
(3) Q19/5: Power feeding systems;
(4) Q20/5: Data collection for energy efficiency of ICTs over their lifecycles;

4. Strategic Collaborative Direction in GSC (proposed)
Encourage PSOs
to contribute to ITU-T initiatives on ICT and climate change
to standardize energy-saving ICT systems and methodologies for analyzing, evaluating, and quantifying GHG reductions that may be achieved through ICT use
to actively participate in standardization work in WP3/SG5
to produce recommendations on ICTs and climate change

5. Next Steps/Actions of TTC in Support of ITU-T Initiatives
At a new WP3/SG5 meeting of ITU-T, TTC will actively contribute to discussions on standardizing a methodology for evaluating the energy-saving impact of ICT services in collaboration with other PSOs.
Future TTC Contribution
Propose a methodology and power feeding, etc.
Support management and operation of WP3/SG5.
Liaise with other related organizations.
