                  JTC 1 SWG Management (SWG-M) to
                   recommend that a more permanent structure and

             ITU-T (Telecommunications Standardization
              Sector), IEC
             TC 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems
              and equipment,
             ISO TC 215: Health informatics
             Ecma International
             PAS (Publicly Available Specifications) submitters
              (DMTF, OGC, OMG, The Open Group, SNIA,
              UPnP and W3C)
          Industry consortia are collaborating closely with JTC
          1 SCs which has led to seven more PAS being
          approved this year as JTC1/ISO/IEC International
          Standards from these submitters.
                                                                  10
Reports      The Open Group, Object Management Group and
              ESTI provide documents that are freely available
              on publication.
             This highlights the significant challenge that NSBs
              are now facing in the ICT sector as industry based
              consortia respond to growing market demands for
              freely available standards.

                                                               11
SC Chairs          Chairs of SC’s also reported on their respective
presentations       areas of activity.
                   Copies of these presentations where available
                    have been circulated to all our JTC 1 National
                    Mirror Committees and JTC 1 SAC.

                                                                       12
Observations/      In terms of country participation at JTC 1, the
Conclusions         USA, China, Korea, Japan, Canada, Germany
                    and the United Kingdom are the leading players.
                   Australia, the Netherlands and South Africa can
                    be categorised as ‘second tier’ in terms of
                    involvement across all of JTC 1’s SCs and SWG
                    Management and Directives.
                   Notwithstanding this, Australia is held in high
                    regard and its contribution in areas such as
                    Governance of IT, Biometrics and its recent
                    involvement in Cloud Computing is appreciated
                    by JTC 1 members.
                   Australia’s Head of Delegation and Chair of
                    Standards Australia’s JTC 1 Strategic Advisory
                    Committee, John Sheridan on behalf of IT-030
                    and WG 8 navigated challenging issues in relation
                    to achieving the establishment of a new SC
                                                                      13
Observations/      JTC 1 and its SCs are widely recognised as the
Conclusions         leading standards development entity for many
                    areas related to ICT.
                   It is also well known as a vehicle for the fast track
                    processing of Publically Available Specifications
                    (PAS) and internationally recognised for
                    ‘keystone’ standards such as the JTC1/ISO/IEC
                    27000 series in IT security.
                   Feedback from industry liaison organisations /
                    industry consortia and PAS submitters is that
                    there is an on-going need for a ‘new JTC 1
                    product’ that permits broader participation options,
                    invites less formality in the standards
                    development process, is faster to market i.e. 12 to
                    18 months, and is a baseline document to an
                    international standard once the technological and
                    related issues have been worked out.
                                                                        14
Observations/      SA will continue to keep abreast of developments
Conclusions         taking place within JTC 1 and plays an active role at
                    the governance level to help shape and influence the
                    current and future direction.
                   JTC 1 has significant challenges if it is to remain
                    market relevant and outcomes focused.
                    Notwithstanding the significant role played by ICT
                    majors including, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Intel,
                    CISCO and Samsung in JTC 1’s activities, there is
                    always a shortfall between the demands placed on
                    JTC 1 and its SCs, SWG’s and the finite resources
                    available.
                   China has in recent years also expanded its
                    involvement in key areas of strategic interest including
                    cloud computing and IT Security.
                   SA has been involved in SWG-M and SWG-D over
                    the last 2 years but it is now even more of a strategic
                    and operational imperative to continue to do so. 15
JTC 1 Strategic      Joint Technical Committee 1 – Strategic Advisory
Advisory              Committee (JTC1 SAC) was established by SA in
Committee:            2011
Scope
                     It is convened by SA to operate at a strategic level
                      to provide guidance to support Australia’s
                      interface with JTC1
                     Involvement in JTC 1 SAC enhances information
                      sharing and communication and provides an
                      opportunity to address ICT standardization issues
                      and challenges on behalf of Australia
                     The ongoing challenges and opportunities
                      surrounding such critical areas as accessibility,
                      governance of IT, big data, energy efficiency, ICT
                      sustainability, security, and cloud computing
                      ensures that JTC 1 SAC has a key advisory role
                      to play
                                                                        16
