Introduction
The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
coordinates standards for telecommunications and Information
Communication Technology such as X.509 for
cybersecurity, Y.3172 and Y.3173 for machine learning,
and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC for video compression, between its
Member States, Private Sector Members, and Academia
Members. ITU-T is one of the three Sectors (divisions or units)
of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Primary function
ITU is committed to connecting all the world's people by :
- Allocating global radio spectrum and satellite orbits,
- Developing the technical standards,
- Striving to improve access to ICTs to underserved communities
worldwide.
The ITU is lead by the Plenipotentiary Conference (PP) that meets every
4 years.
ITU action is organized through three sectors of activities
- THE RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR (ITU-R)
- THE STANDARDIZATION SECTOR (ITU-T)
- THE DEVELOPEMENT SECTOR (ITU-D)
ITU-T Working Structure
The World Telecommunications Standardization Assemly (WTSA) : Meets every four years and sets the overall
direction and structure for ITU-T:
[Link] the general policy for the Sector
[Link] the study groups and approve their work program,
[Link] the WG chairmen and vice-chairmen.
Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group
- Reviews priorities, programs, operations, financial matters and strategies
- Follows up on the accomplishments of the work program
- Restructures and establishes ITU-T study groups, provides them with guidelines
- Advises the Director of the (TSB), and produces organization and working procedures.
The Study Groups
The Workshops and Seminars
The Technology Watch :
Identifies emerging technologies, with a view to identifying work items able to lead to new ITU-T Recommendation
TSAG- Telecommunication
Standardization Advisory Group
Roles :
• make the ITU-T the most attractive place to
come to do standards work in an
increasingly dynamic environment of ICTs.
• Establish ITU-T working methods to
streamline approval procedures for new
international standards.

National Standardization
Secretariat
An evidence : A weak contribution of developing countries to the standardization activities.
An ITU‑T ambitious effort : Bridging the Standardization Gap (BSG)
BSG Objectives : to assist developing countries in establishing a National Standardization Secretariat to
coordinate standardization activities and participation in ITU‑T study groups.
Potential roles of NSS:
Consolidate interest in ICT standardization
Coordinate among a national government and its industry players,
Simplify technical issues on the basis of unified and coordinated understandings
Promote coordination between national public and private sectors.
Increase effectiveness, avoid conflicting positions in the same or in different ITU‑T study groups,
improve awareness regarding exchange of information with ITU-T,
Assist national dissemination of information from the ITU to appropriate national experts
Provide a number of ITU-T-related functions such as preparation for international meetings,
development and submission of contributions, etc.
