  • What has it achieved?
  • Lessons for IFS

Why standards?
  • Interoperability is key to uptake of new
    servicesStandards create the market
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Technology independence
  • Network independence
  • Provide adequate security/usability levels

4
Where is Interoperability required?
  • Radio/Network Access
  • Network Solutions
  • WLAN / 2G / 3G
  • Applications
  • PKI
  • Smart Card
  • Location services
  • Business Model

Example
5
Why ICTSB?
  • Reaction to convergence of information
    technology, telecommunications, broadcasting and
    entertainment industries
  • Need to reduce overlaps between activities of
    European Standards Organisations (ESOs)
  • Need to involve (many) fora and consortia
  • Provide European focus for Global Standardization

6
What does ICTSB do?
  • Analyse requirements received from any competent
    source based on concrete market needs
  • Translate these requirements into coherent
    standards work programmes
  • Allocate work items to members and review
    progress against objectives

Recent activities
  • European Electronic Signature Standardisation
    Initiative (EESSI)
  • Design for All / Assistive Technologies (D-FAST)
  • eEurope
  • Smart Houses

9
EESSI Objectives
  • Analyse needs for standards in support of
    essential requirements in Electronic Signature
    Directive
  • Assess available standards and current
    initiatives at national, European and
    international levels
  • Set up and implement Work Programme built on
    international cooperation

10
EESSI Work Programme
  • EESSI technical work done in CEN/ISSS and ETSI
    with input from IETF, ECBS, W3C
  • 3 phases almost complete
  • EESSI Steering Committee provided overview and
    coordinated promotion
  • Results now recognised as European Standards
    will support legislation

Standards and RTD
  • EU FP6 Proposal Co-operation Platform for
    Research and Standards (COPRAS)
  • Examine standards potential of approved FP6
    projects
  • Provide information to projects on standards
    initiatives
  • Organise wide range of standards contributions
    from projects (technical specifications,
    guidelines, best practices, codes of conduct, etc)

15
Lessons for IFS
  • Ensure proper collaboration between parties ITU
    and fora
  • Dont re-invent wheels, build on existing
    solutions to ensure they work
  • Dont use regional solutions that are not
    compatible with global ones
