A. 6: cooperation and exchange of information with SDOs Invitation to the Informal Forum Summit by the Director of TSB (December 3-4, 2001) ITU-T Cooperation with forums / consortia / SDOs

Slide 30: 

30 Members for Rec. A.4, A.5and A.6 relationship

Slide 31: 

31 ? Cooperation on common subjects (liaisons, communications, mutual participation) ? Cooperation on workshops ? ITU-T provide draft texts and other documents to SDOs to post for public consultation ? ITU’s permission for SDOs to reproduce ITU-T texts ? More to be done for mutual benefit: market study, joint promotion, mutual reference, joint conferences, efficient coordination, common IPR policy, etc. Cooperation activities with SDOs(General)

Slide 32: 

32 In the past - control by governments with participation of industry - international coordination by a few recognized SDOs Today - market-oriented - shared by government / regulator / service providers / vendors - consultant / researcher / student participation - many SDOs (national, regional, multinational, international) Working forces for internationaltelecommunication standardization

Slide 33: 

33 rapid development of technologies liberalization of markets globalization of economy convergence of services conflicts of markets interest vs global availability many SDOs limited resources expert’s prejudices based on the past IPR issues Challenges to standardization

Slide 34: 

34 nobody can do everything, but everybody wants more out-of-control creation of forums / consortia / SDOs no effective cooperation among forums / consortia / SDOs, but competition industry suffers from heavy involvement with too many SDOs they created / sponsored (hundreds in the market) established international SDOs not used efficiently (exploring use of existing SDOs vs proliferation of SDOs) Challenges to SDOs

Slide 35: 

35 Complementarity vs competition Establish a platform for all forums / consortia / SDOs and ITU New approaches for discussion: - partnership, effective cooperation and mutual support - forums / consortia / SDOs as special working forces of ITU-T? - ITU outsource forums / consortia / SDOs? - products of forums / consortia / SDOs to be approved as ITU-T Recommendations? Future of ITU andforums / consortia / SDOs

Slide 36: 

36 Output from this informal summit: - “consensus views?” - “joint declarations?” - future actions? Any ideas? *************** Future of ITU and SDOs
