14. International Telecommunication Union 14 ITU-T Study Group 9 Cable Networks Thank you! Arthur Webster is the current Chairman of ITU-T Study Group 9 which is responsible for international standardization activities related to television and sound transmission and integrated broadband cable networks. Mr. Webster participates in several technical standards groupsmost of which are involved in the standardization of video and multimedia quality assessment methods. Mr. Webster began participating regularly in ITU-T in 1994 and was a Rapporteur (for SG9 or SG12) from 1995 until becoming Chairman of SG9 in 2009. Mr. Webster is the Co-chair of the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG), a position he has held since its founding in 1997. Mr. Webster contributes technically to video and multimedia quality assessment research. He co-authored several approved ITU-T Recommendations and Technical Reports in the areas of quality assessment and emergency telecommunications. Mr. Webster has participated in ATIS PRQC (Performance, Reliability, and Security Committee) and its predecessor committees (T1Q1, T1A1) since 1990. He has participated in other Standards groups such as TSAG, SG12, SG16, SCTE, ITU-R Study Group 6, ATIS IIF, IEEE, TIA, and IETF. Mr. Webster has chaired sessions and given presentations at ITU and ETSI workshops. Arthur holds a BA in English and an MS in Electrical Engineering. For the last 22 years he has worked for the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS). ITS is the research and engineering branch of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. From 2005 to 2008 he was the Standards Development Team Leader for the NTIA/ITS.P Division. He manages 2 technical projects at NTIA/ITS, both of which have standards outputs. Mr. Webster is a member of IEEE and ACM and holds two U.S. patents for innovations in objective assessment of video quality.
