3. Scope of ISO/TC 268/SC 1
Standardization in the field of smart community infrastructures, including basic concepts to define and describe smartness of community infrastructures as scalable and integrable systems, harmonized metrics for benchmarking, usage of the metrics for application to the diverse types of communities, and specifications for measurement, reporting and verification, ensuring avoidance of overlaps and contradictions with ISO/TC 268 deliverables.
The proposed standards will focus on technical aspects of community infrastructures including energy, water, transportation, waste and ICT that support the operations and activities of communities.
The concept of smartness is addressed in terms of performance relevant to technologically implementable solutions, in accordance with sustainable development in communities as elaborated in ISO/TC 268.

5. General Understanding on the Smart Community Infrastructures in TC 286/SC1
(1) Example of “Community Infrastructures" 1
Energy
Power grid, Gas, Fuels (gas station), ... 2
Water
Water treatment process, Industrial water, Treated water, Water Reuse 3
Mobility
Road traffic, Railroad, Airport, Port, River, ... 4
Waste
Waste recovery, Recycling, .. 5
ICT
Multi-purpose big data, Distributed sensors, Monitoring, Wifi
(2) "Performances" reflected to Smartness 1
Residents viewpoint
Reliability, Availability, Service quality, Safety, etc 2
Community managers viewpoint
Operational efficiency, Resilience, Expandability, Security, etc 3
Environmental viewpoint
Climate change, Biodiversity, Resource efficiency, Air pollution, Water shortage, etc
Smartness should be discussed taking into account the balance between multiple viewpoints of residents, community managers and environmental

6. Recognize the difference or gap between “Community needs or issues” and “Infrastructure performance or requirement”

7. Proposed roadmap for deliverables
TR Review of existing activities
- Review of relevant activities
- Directions for future standardization
2013 (expected)
TS General principles and requirements
-Basic concept in community level
-Neutral against specific infrastructure
2014 (expected)
Application to particular types of community infrastructures
- Apply the general principles & requirements (PWI 37151) to energy, water, transportation, waste and ICT as the first step
Application to diverse types of communities
- Apply the general principles & requirements (PWI 37151) to typical categories of communities
Related areas
- MRV, System aspects, etc.

8. IEC SEG on Smart Cities
SEG (Systems Evaluation Group) on Smart Cities will be set up to;
Make an inventory of existing standards and standardization projects in progress in IEC, ITU-T and ISO.
Monitor TC/SC work in IEC to highlight any overlap of work or potential inconsistencies,
Liaise with ISO, ITU, and other organizations, fora and consortia. Represent IEC in the coordination and cooperation with other organizations, fora and consortia in the field of smart cities.
Draw a roadmap in IEC with a timeline that includes a reference architecture and prospective standardization projects.
The evaluation group’s tasks also includes alignment of terms and definitions in electrotechnical field referring to smart cities, providing an efficient and transparent platform for information exchange and communication between IEC and other relevant stakeholder groups.
Participation in SEGs is open, but specific invitations will be made to ITU-T and ISO to take part in the Smart Cities SEG.
