Measurement Tool-SCI::1

Background Standardization Ladder developed by TSB is intuitive, but needs further examinations, in particular, activities at national level If we could measure and quantify standardization capability, we could understand where the gap comes from

ObjectiveIdentifying components involving in standardization activitiesIndexing standardization capabilities

Part IIExperiencesConsiderationsDirections

What has TTA been doing?

What has TTA observed?Insufficient resourcesMandatory vs. Voluntary StandardNeed for training programmes

What will TTA be doing?

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 12

InsufficienciesExperiencesConsiderationsDirections

Developing countries with insufficient; Human and Financial resourcesIndustry participationRecognition of the importance

People are major elementStandardization = Technology + PeopleMaking people meet togetheris the keyIncentive for participating a meeting is also needed

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 13

Mandatory Standard vs. Voluntary Standard

ExperiencesConsiderationsDirections

No need for voluntary standard or no distinction

Mandatory standards (Technical Regulation) regulate the market Need to consider the agreement of WTO/TBT and the era of liberalization of telecom. market: Technology Neutrality

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 14

Training ProgrammeExperiencesConsiderationsDirections

Recognizing needs for training programs on: Participating international standard meetings;

General introduction of ITU, APT, ETSI, IEEE, etc.Their working methodsWay to acquire information at SDOs’ websitesWay to draft and present contributionWay to convene a meeting, etc.

Adopting international standards into national standards

Which elements need to keep vs. which elements need to be modifiedRelationship between technical regulation and standardsAny other considerations

Part IIIExperiencesConsiderationsDirections

What has TTA been doing?

What has TTA observed?

What will TTA be doing?Consultation programme with SCITraining programmes

Nadi, Fiji, 16-17 September 2009 16

Future Directions

Need to combine the Consultation Programme and SCI (Standard Capability Index)

Measure standard capability by SCI tool and identify the real gap Then provide consultation programme to fill the gap together with ITU-TConsultation topics will be enriched and conducted in practical manner

Provide Training ProgrammesWays to participate international std. meetings;Ways to adopt international std. to national std.
