The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards INCITS JTC 1 State of the Union Karen Higginbottom ISO/IEC JTC 1 Chair

JTC 1 Outreach  Worked with ISO to bring developing countries to the JTC 1 Plenary  Well received  No one went shopping  SD 2 History  New editor, has been updated  PAS Outreach  Always a plea for articles, stories  Note to Chair: either update or take down Slide 2

 Know that it has already been implemented  ISO and IEC have aligned on the concept in the ISO/IEC Directives Part 1  ALERT: When ISO and IEC approve a common procedure in the Directives, JTC 1 is expected to align  Because JTC 1 had many long serving SC Chairs, 11 of the 20 TC Chairs (55%) must be “replaced” by 2017  Sought special transition arrangements from TMB/SMB  Request not addressed but declined outright  This year, Dick Mabbott (SC 17) and Walter Fumy (SC 27) Slide 3 TC and SC Term Limits

Quick Items  Training by ISO specific to JTC 1 – heard good things  How to draft standards, how to be an Editor, legal issues  ISO/IEC JTC 1 Supplement out for ballot – aligning publication dates with ISO and IEC as much as possible  Registration Authorities  Still an issue, ANSI working the SC 17 item but others will need to work closely with ISO to ensure they can continue (SC 31 did good work)  ISO and IEC have gained membership to the Global Standards Collaboration (GSC)  JTC 1 had participated as an Observer since 1998  JTC 1 made ISO and IEC aware we wanted to become members  They both joined  Representatives from JTC 1 on both delegations  Other members are: ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, IEEE-SA, ITU, TIA, TTA, TTC, TSDSI  Topics this year are: IoT, 5G, Role of SMEs, Security & Privacy Slide 4

Creation of the JTC 1 Advisory Group  What Dr. Deutsch said...  Had three JTC 1 management bodies  SWG-Directives  SWG-Management  SWG-Planning  Added Marketing  Worked towards economy of scale  Will serve as body to move things forward between the yearly plenaries  Can create ad hocs and/or project teams  Can issue JTC 1 letter ballots

JAG Resolutions of Note  Aligning with ISO/IEC Directives --- No fast track of TRs or TSs  New version of JTC 1 Supplement will need to be aligned with the issuance of ISO/IEC Directives – May  SD 19 – added another time slot for international webex/telecon meetings – 0500 UTC  Handled the LB on WG 9 project split of ISO/IEC – Part 4 is transferred to SC 27  Instructed SC 6, SC 31 and WG 10 to discuss Object Identifier Assignments for IoT Slide 6

Additional JAG Guidance  WG 9, WG 10 and WG 11 Convenors and Secretaries (Project Editors) instructed to complete training  To attend the next JAG with a plan for progressing work  Created Groups to investigate (Planning)  Advanced Industrial Systems, Tools and Services (smart machines) – Germany convene  Wearable Electronics and Services – UK convene Slide 7

DIS and FDIS Voting ALERT: When ISO and IEC approve a common procedure in the Directives, JTC 1 is expected to align  Prior to the electronic balloting system, an NB could “opt out” of JTC 1 ballots  Electronic balloting does not allow to opt out and are obligated to vote – will lose P membership if fail to vote on 20% of ballots within one year  Countries that work at SC level only expressed concern that they were disenfranchised on the DIS and FDIS votes  ISO and IEC have expectation that JTC 1 will conduct DIS and FDIS ballots at SC level promptly Slide 8

Later Today --- Discussion with Don  ISO can “throw the switch” immediately  JAG created three activities for identifying what is involved prior to the switch being thrown  NBs operate differently and have very different processes  NBs need to consider their plan to adjust  Don to lead session on plan/risks/options for US Slide 9
