ITU-T’s strategic goals

To develop interoperable, non-discriminatory international standards (ITU-T Recommendations)

To assist in bridging the standardization gap between developed and developing countries

To extend and facilitate international cooperation among international, regional and national standardization bodies

Malcolm JohnsonTSB Director

Bridging the Standardization Gap (BSG)

BSG is one of the three strategic goals of ITU-T

The gap is defined as the disparities in the ability of developing countries, relative to developed ones, to access, implement, contribute to and influence international ICT standards, specifically ITU‐T Recommendations.

Bridging the standardization gap: PP Res 123, WTSA Res 44 and WTDC Res 47

TSB Director’s Ad hoc Group on Education about Standardization (1/2)

The need to address international ICT standardization in academic curricula is vital for the students of today, as they will become the experts driving the standardization processes of tomorrow.

It aims to investigate academia’s approach toward ICT standardization, with a view to increasing the significance assigned to the subject in academic curricula.

Workshops on Education about Standardization are organized jointly with academia and relevant institutions interested in

collaborating with ITU-T to advance standards education worldwide.

Accessibility and ITU-T standardization 1/2

Information handling capability varies for all ICT users

Everyone can benefit from accessibility standards

ITU-T’s accessibility work ensures that all newly developed standards contain the necessary elements to make services and features usable for people with as broad range of capabilities as possible

Standards should also describe suitable methods of media delivery for people with disabilities, and are therefore essential for the provision of services accessible for all

opportunities of using ICT standards to build a

green economy and shape smart sustainable

cities.

ITU/WMO/UNESCO IOC Joint Task Force (JTF) on the use of submarine cable systems for

climate change monitoring and disaster (tsunami) warning


The InitiativeThe deep ocean is largely unknown….

How could submarine cables be used as a real-time global network to monitor climate change and to provide tsunami warnings?

A new generation of regional scientific cabled ocean observatories is emerging at a few selected sites, but there is a need and opportunity to extend observations and monitoring over much wider area of the global oceans.

Submarine telecommunication cables equipped with sensors to measure key variables such as water temperature, pressure and acceleration on the ocean floor are viewed as vital to monitor climate change and to provide tsunami warnings.

55


“Using submarine telecommunications cables for ocean and climate monitoring and disaster warning”

ITU (International Telecommunication Union) with UNESCO’s (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s) IOC (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission), and the WMO (World Meteorological Organization)

Established a task force

The Initiative

56


ITU/WMO/UNESCO-IOC Joint Task Force

57

Agreed on its Terms of Reference and was tasked, inter alia: with developing a strategy and roadmap that could lead to enabling the

availability of submarine repeaters equipped with scientific sensors for climate monitoring and disaster risk reduction for tsunamis, and

to analyse the potential renovation and use of out-of-service cables for this purpose.

It is composed of more than 70 international experts from the science, engineering, business and law communities. Chair: Chris Barnes, Professor Emeritus, University of Victoria (Canada) Vice-Chair: David Meldrum, Research Fellow, Scottish Association for Marine

Science (SAMS) and JCOMM Observations Programme Area (UNESCO-IOC)
