Nominations

  • A new SG 13 Vice-Chairman Mr Heyuan Xu (China, MIIT) was nominated to replace Ms Duo Liu (China, MIIT).
  • A new Rapporteur for Q.22/13 Kyounghee Lee (ETRI, Korea) was nominated to replace Mr Woo Jin Choi (KT, Korea)
  • Mr. Jamil Chawki (from France Telecom Orange and WP6/13 Chairman) was nominated as ITU-T Co-convener for each of two new collaborative teams (CTs).
  • Agreed on ITU-T Co-Editor for CT on cloud computing vocabulary Mr Olivier Colas (Microsoft, France).
  • Agreed on ITU-T Co-Editor for CT on cloud computing reference architecture Mr Olivier Le Grand (France Telecom Orange, France).
  • Nominated Mr Babak Jahromi (Microsoft, USA) as the liaison representative from SG13 to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC38.
  • Nominated Mr Richard Brackney (Microsoft, USA) as the liaison rapporteur from SG 13 to TMForum.

Organization of the work

  • Confirmed JCA-IPTV decision to hand over the parentage of JCA-IPTV from SG 13 to SG 16
  • Confirmed the closure of NGN GSI and JCA-NGN
  • Undertook an inspection of its Questions and prepared a set of 19 Questions for the study in the next study period. Also it worked out its mandate and new title “Future networks including cloud computing, mobile and NGN” leaving the essence of the leading roles and Recommendations under the responsibility and maintenance unchanged.
  • Joint session with Q.8/17 was convened with the goal to clarify the relationships in the area of cloud computing security work to avoid overlap. The meeting confirmed the decision of Q.16/13 that five new work item proposals for Q.16/13 should be kept in their living list until the scope of each proposal and security responsibilities of SG13 and SG17 can be clarified. To this end, the next interim activity of Q.16/13 will take place in colocation with SG 17 meeting (August). The joint meeting with Q.8/17 agreed, in particular, to develop common Recommendations between SG13 and SG17.

External cooperation

  • Established the two collaborative teams (CTs) to work out the common text with ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 38/WG3 in the area of cloud computing vocabulary and reference architecture. The CTs are supposed to deliver one common text each by the end of 2013. Initial meeting of both CTs is planned in September in Stockholm alongside ISO/IEC JTC1/SC38 meeting.
  • Agreed to ask TSB to establish the A.4 – A.6 relationships with DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force, working on cloud computing) and ONF (Open Networking Foundation, looking after the future networks).

Workshop

11 June was a day of the workshop “Joint ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC6 workshop on future networks standardization”. It was of the success attracting 78 participants (per the list of participants). As an outcome of this workshop, it was agreed to continue using the correspondence group between Q.21/13 and ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 6 to find future collaboration topics between SG13 and JTC 1 SC 6.

Coordination activities

  • Progressed Service Delivery Platforms roadmap.
  • JCA-Cloud agreed to start working on a new Cloud Computing roadmap.
  • WP 1/13 agreed to close the Mobility Management roadmap, IPTV roadmap and NGN roadmap and its web implementation http://www.itu.int/ngnproject/ (the latter was in operation since 2005). All three roadmaps were run by Q.25/13 “Coordination, Planning, and Terminology” that was proposed to be discontinued in the next study period.

Newcomer’s information session

A newcomer’s session was of a success, having attracted 14 delegates who were new to SG 13 as well as some regular SG 13 participants. The SG 13 Chairman, Mr Chaesub Lee, gave an overview of the technical topics under study and organization of the work in SG13.

Future plans

Next JCA-Cloud meeting will be co-located with SG17 meeting late August. A possibility of having joint JCAs meeting (Cloud and IdM) is under consideration.

Next SG 13 meeting will take place in the next study period on 18 February – 1 March 2013, Geneva.
