2. Highlight of Current Activities (1/3)  ITU-T established Focus Group on Cloud Computing (FG-Cloud)  1 st meeting of FG-Cloud: 14-16 June 2010, Geneva Two Working Groups established  WG1: Cloud computing benefits & requirements  WG2: Gap analysis and roadmap on cloud computing standards development in ITU-T Draft Deliverables worked on at 1 st meeting (more in the pipeline):  Introduction to the cloud ecosystem: Definitions, taxonomies and use cases  Requirements for Reference Architecture on Cloud Computing 2

3.  WG1: Cloud computing benefits & requirements  WA (working areas) 1-1 Cloud definition, ecosystem & taxonomy  WA 1-2 Uses cases requirements & architecture  WA 1-3 Cloud security  WA 1-4 Infrastructure & network enabled cloud  WA 1-5 Cloud services & resource management, platforms and middleware  WA 1-6 Cloud computing benefits & first requirements from ICT perspectives 3 Highlight of Current Activities (2/3)

4.  WG2: Gap analysis and roadmap on cloud computing standards development in ITU-T  WA 2-1 Overview of cloud computing SDOs activities  WA 2-2 Gap analysis & action plan for development of relevant ITU-T cloud standard 4 Highlight of Current Activities (3/3)

5. Strategic Direction  FG-Cloud objective to collect and document information and concepts that would be helpful for developing Recommendations to support cloud computing services/applications from a telecommunication/ICT perspective  Complete Terms of Reference: www.itu.int/ITU-T/focusgroups/cloud/tor.html 5

6. Challenges  Avoid duplication: Collaborate with worldwide cloud computing communities (e.g., research institutes, forums, academia) including other SDOs and consortia  FG Cloud sent liaisons to some 20 SDOs and forums at first meeting 6

7. Next Steps/Actions  2 nd FG Cloud meeting (2-6 September 2010, Geneva) Joint session with FG-Future Network planned (6 September 2010)  3 rd FG Cloud meeting (1-3 December 2010, Rennes/France)  4 th FG Cloud meeting (mid Jan 2011, Moscow, to be confirmed) 7
