Report on CJK Joint Survey on Fora/Consortia

1. Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) 14 Report on CJK Joint Survey on Fora/Consortia CJK

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 revised report of fora survey at GSC14

3. Highlight of Current Activities • Made a detailed survey over 227 fora world-widely, took the analysis and statistics in the multiple dimensions. The materials can be provided for other PSOs for their further plans and investigations. • Elaborated on the latest technologies and the standardization activities on Home Networks • Analysis on the relationship between the De-facto standards and de-jure standards

4. General review of fora 2008 Mobile Communication u-Computing Broadcasting Digital Contents BcN RFID/USN Robotics u-Infra SW Security EC Convergence Infrastructure Convergence Service Information Technology Statistics of fora categorized by the tech. field • 227 fora of ICT worldwide statistically in 2008. • Updating 33 fora which are not stressed previously • Adding 7new fora established in 2008

5. Analysis by the regions • According to fora Secretariat, Fora were classified by 4 region, Europe region, North America region, Asia region, and etc Analysis by the regions

6. New-added/Renamed fora

7. 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 number of fora with the different active purpose

8. Challenges-- How to harmonize the De-facto standards 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 Cooperation of the fora and standard organization is needed Stand. Org FORA • harmonization of the fora researching • advancement of the standards • Producing the standard • Market exploration • new technique researching and updating • Pre-standardization

9. 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.

10. Relationship of HN standardization organizations Application Layer Information sharing inside home Interconnecting of home network and public network Control and monitor Broadband Forum, HGI, ITU-T, OMA, ETSI, CCSA LonMark, KNX, ECHONET, ITOPHOME DLNA, UPnP, IGRS IEEE 802.11 Home Plug MoCA HomePNA ITU-T SG9&15 IEEE 802.15 Physical Layer

11. Analysis of the number of members • Small size: <=50 members • Medium size: 51-100 members • Large size: 101-300 members • Very large size: >300 members

12. Next step • CJK will keep endeavoring collaborating on the Fora/consortia survey and contribute to GSC in the future • Provide for other SDOs in necessary, to share this information in a wide area
