1. 1 Interim Report on CJK Joint Survey on Fora/Consortia China Communications Standards Association

2. Background of Joint Survey on fora GSC Meeting TTC proposed a collaboration in fora survey among CJK members in 2005(GSC10) → Agreed (April.06) TTC presented the first report of survey at GSC12 CJK Standard Meeting CCSA as the convener of Ad-hoc Group on Fora is responsible at CJK9 (the convener of AHGF is rotated among CJK Members (TTC-> TTA->CCSA) → Agreed (CJK7)) CCSA has surveyed and analyzed about 227 fora (excluding fora of CJK) CCSA will present the Second report of fora survey at GSC14

3. Our Schedule April 2009: Analysis and Interim presentation at CJK9 May 2009: Requesting TTA and TTC for their fora surveys respectively May-June 2009: Incorporating the surveys from TTA and TTC into the report. Perfecting and updating the report according to the comments from AHGF members, as well as other new requirements emerged. The report will be finalized. July 2009: Presenting the final report at the GSC 14

4. General review of fora 2008 There are about 227 fora of ICT worldwide statistically in 2008. Updating 33 fora which are not stressed previously Adding 4 new fora established in 2008 Statistics of for a categorized by the tech. field BcN Broadcasting Mobile Communication u-Infra SW Digital Contents Security RFID/USN EC u-Computing Robotics Convergence Infrastructure Information Technology Convergence Service

New-addded/Renamed fora Name of ForaMonth / yearTechnical field Newly Launched Forum HomeGrid 2008.5 Converged Service(related to HN) IT Forum2008.4 Information Technology NFC Forum 2008.2 Converged Service(related to Mobile communication) NXDN Forum2008.7 Convergence Infrastructure(Related to the Radio resources) Renamed Forum (merge, delete) DSL Forum Rename to Broadband Forum 2008.1 Converged Service (Related toHN)

8. Analysis of the fora purpose of activity De facto standard: a convention, product, or system that has achieved a dominant position by public acceptance or market forces Pre-standardization: To produce standards which are likely to be contributed to the standard development organization Implementation & interoperability: specifications for implementation and ensuring interoperability Others: the fora which aims at future vision, market researching, consulting or enlightenment. Statistics of the active purpose of the fora

9. Discussion on some standardization method Facts: In 2008, the de-facto and interoperability (also related to “fact” ) account for nearly 60% of the fora activities. Those standards were discussed and produced inside the fora, lack of the related industry-level information from the Standardization Organization  Interoperability issues  Excluding of other technologies Stand. Org FORA  Market exploration  new technique researching and updating  Pre-standardization  harmonization of the fora researching  advancement of the standards  Producing the standard Cooperation of the fora and standard organization is needed

10. Topic: research of HN standardization Home network is a network with multiple devices connected by wired or wireless technology in a limited area (e.g., inside a home or office), and this network is built to meet the customer requirements and provide services and applications to customers. Industry Understanding of home network Application maturity IT/consumer electronics Breaking “information islands”, connecting among the information devices, communication equipments and consumer electronics devices to implement resource sharing and collaborative working  Not mature yet, mainly test in laboratory  Less commercial implementation Communication connecting with telecommunication network, or even be part of E2E telecommunication network, extending the functions and applications of public network to home by residential gateway.  Mature industry chain, services and applications have been accepted by consumers  Applications include sharing broadband connection among multiple PCs, trip-play services, parent control, etc. Residential community /Property management The concept of intelligent community and intelligent home, may provide such services as remote automatic metering, community and home security, community medical service, etc.  Mature technology and many products available  Have been deployed in many areas
