2. omniran-14-0054-00-wsdn 2 Joint Coordination Activity on Software-Defined Networking (JCA-SDN) "to examine the matter, consider the input of Study Group 13 and other relevant study groups and take the necessary actions, as appropriate, with a view to deciding on the necessary SDN standardization activities in ITU-T, with the following actions: –identify the relevant study group(s) in which to follow up actions and establish a suitable organizational arrangement on SDN; –coordinate the work on technical issues of SDN across the study groups according to their area of expertise; –promote collaboration with other SDN-related standards bodies and forums; –define a clear strategic vision for SDN standardization and an important active role that ITU-T should play.” JCA approved by ITU-T TSAG in June 2013 Chair: Mr. Takashi Egawa (NEC, Japan) –Vice chair: Ms Ying Cheng (China Unicom, China) Open to ITU Members and designated representatives of relevant Standards Development Organizations and Forums.

3. omniran-14-0054-00-wsdn 3 ITU-T JCA SDN Objective: Create and maintain an ITU-T roadmap on SDN standardization, including other SDOs Chair: Mr Takashi Egawa (NEC, Japan) http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/jca/sdn/Pages/default.aspx Deliverable: publicly available standardization roadmap that shows SDN standardization landscape –First part provides high-level description of every SDO and its SDN-related activity. –Second part shows a table that explains each working item in each SDO. 3 meetings so far –1st JCA-SDN meeting, Kampala, Uganda, November 11th, 2013 –2nd JCA-SDN meeting, Geneva, February 19th, 2014 –3rd JCA.SDN meeting, Geneva, July 11th, 2014 For additional information on SDN: ITU SDN portal –http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/sdn/Pages/default.aspxhttp://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/sdn/Pages/default.aspx

5. omniran-14-0054-00-wsdn 5 IEEE Contributions to ITU-T JCA SDN So far, only P1903 provided input to JCA SDN –“1903-2011 - IEEE Standard for the Functional Architecture of Next Generation Service Overlay Networks” P1903.1 – Standard for Content Delivery Protocols of Next Generation Service Overlay Network (NGSON) P1903.2 – Standard for Service Composition Protocols of Next Generation Service Overlay Network (NGSON) P1903.3 – Standard for Self-Organizing Management Protocols of Next Generation Service Overlay Network (NGSON) Should P802 provide a response to JCA SDN as well? –Did P802 receive the liaison letter from ITU-T on JCA SDN? –Which topics of P802 would fit the scope of JCA SDN? –Who in P802 would be the right person to coordinate a response to ITU-T on behalf of P802?
