8、) forums/consortia. This supplement describes basic investigation data and the results of statistical analysis about ICT-related forums/consortia in the world. In addition, this supplement also particularly describes the current status of the home-network related standardization organizations in det
9、ails, including their overview, scope, objectives, and standardization activities. In this supplement, the total number of the forums/consortia surveyed is 227. Besides, it also includes two appendices, one is the detailed information tables of the forums/consortia, and the other is the research on
10、the home-network related standardization, as well as the new trend of the technologies in this area.

11、lement 8 (01/2010) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is r
12、esponsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by t
13、he ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collabo
14、rative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this publication, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this publication is voluntary. However, the publication may contain certain mandator
15、y provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the publication is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of

22、xpand, the number of ICT-related forums/consortia is incrementing as well. Those forums/consortia focus on different objectives, technical fields, etc. As we know, some of the leading technologies were initiated by some regional forums/consortia. Therefore, the information of the global ICT forums/c
23、onsortia is important for the SDOs on harmonizing the standardization or making their future research plans. With this purpose, CCSA (China Communication Standards Association), ARIB (Association of Radio Industries and Business of Japan), TTC (Telecommunication Technology Committee of Japan) and TT
24、A (Telecommunication Technology Association of Korea) began to cooperate to make a survey of global ICT forums/consortia, which can be shared among the SDOs, manufacturers, and operators, etc. Among the CJK (China, Japan, and Korea) members, it was agreed that the survey should be updated annually a
25、t the CJK Standards Meetings. Those annual reports were proved useful after those years. This supplement is based on the Global ICT forums/consortia Survey of CJK (2008).

26、obal ICT forums and consortia 1 Scope The objective of this supplement is to provide the basic information about global information and communication technologies (ICTs) forums/consortia survey. This supplement describes the basic investigation data and the results of statistical analysis about ICT-
27、related forums/consortia in the world. This supplement also particularly describes the overview, scope, objectives, and standardization activities of home-network related standardization developing organizations in details. This supplement provides some useful information to the ITU-T members, espec
28、ially the developing countries to help them develop their domestic ICT industries. 2 References None. 3 Terms and definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere None. 3.2 Terms defined in this supplement This supplement defines the following terms: 3.2.1 de facto standard: Technical specifications or conve
29、ntions that have achieved a dominant position by public acceptance or market forces. 3.2.2 pre-standardization: Results of research activities before producing standards, which are likely to be contributed to the standard development organization. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This supplement uses th
