Information and communication infrastructure • C5. Building confidence and security in the use of ICTs ITU is co-facilitator of five other action lines (out of 11), among them: • C6. Enabling Environment (-> use of, and access to, radio frequency spectrum) ITU-T work highlights 2006/7 • NGN-GSI (Global Standards Initiative), IPTV, cybersecurity including identity management, ubiquitous networks, multimedia conferencing, videocoding, broadband access, packet based transport, fibre optics, home networking • 231 Recs/supplements published (2006) • 30%> in 2006 of over 2005 in terms of meeting documents processed • 61 meetings (44 in Geneva, 17 outside) – Increase of 13% over 2005 • Workshops included: Fully networked car; Digital identity; Public warning; Grids; Multilingual Internet; RFID • GPON Interoperability demonstrations • ITU, ISO, IEC agreed common patent policy, including guidelines and form • ITU-T Recommendations are available online without charge (trial) ITU-T Focus Groups • Identity Management - Exploring mechanisms that allow different IdM frameworks to interoperate together • From/In/To Cars Communication – Finishes work on specifications for transmission characteristics for headsets and hands free terminals Dec 07 • IPTV - Coordinating and promoting the development of global IPTV standards; - finishes work Dec 07, then input into study groups • Security Baseline for Network Operators - Defining a security baseline so that operators can assess their network and information security posture in terms of available standards • NGN Management - Providing a centralized approach regarding specification of NGN related fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management interfaces. • Open Communications Architecture Forum - Defining specifications for a set of components for a new carrier grade open platforms ITU-T Outreach Activities • Upcoming workshops: – Multimedia in NGN; Geneva, 10–11 September 07 – Bridging the Standardization Divide Mendoza, Argentina, 24 September 07 – Bridging the Standardization Gap in Developing Countries Kigali, 24 October 07 – Innovations in NGN; Geneva, 12-13 May 08 • Targeted at academia, R&D.
