Study Structure and Mechanisms (1) • No change since 2008 (12 years at 2020) • Need “Look at outside of the box” approach • Find better way of ITU-T through review of procedures, SG structure and list of Questions • How to handle emerging new issues, including: – Cross-cutting issues – Independent issues – Convergence (industry, market) issues Restructuring or Re-Building? Please see: TSAG TD 717 https: //www. itu. int/md/T 17 -TSAG-200210 -TD-GEN-0717/en

Consideration for Study Group Structure and Mechanisms • No change since 2008 (12 years at 2020) • Standardization landscape has evolved and changed significantly • Need for ITU-T to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances in line with public and private sector participant expectations • Need to consider innovative and “outside-the-box” approaches • Enhance the operational efficiency and effectiveness of ITU-T deliverables through a review of procedures, SG structure and list of Questions • A re-engineered ITU-T SG structure requires the establishment of clear and flexible mandates in response to industry/market needs • Need to strengthen collaboration within ITU and with other organizations • Guidance from Member States and industry on how to implement the necessary changes is essential

Proposed scenario for SG structure for the future • Reduce number of Study Groups • Accommodate the scopes of the current study groups by working parties • Therefore, the new scope and mandate of the study groups should be all-encompassing and reflect the priorities of the ITU-T constituency SG I WP 1 WP 2 SG II WP 3 SG III WP 1 WP 2 WP 3 SG IV WP 1 WP 2 WP 3 WP 2 WP 5 SG VI SG V WP 1 WP 4 WP 3 WP 1 WP 2 SG VII WP 3 WP 1 WP 2 WP 4

Pros and Cons of proposed scenario Pros Cons • Reduce number of SGs: o Improves opportunities of member participation o Improves efficiency and effectiveness of SG operation o Contributes to improvement of effectiveness of TSB operation as a secretariat • Clearer scope of each SGs, so reduce overlap issues among SGs • Significant changes could raise concerns: o e. g. , confusion on the title and number of SGs o on a perceived decline of ITU-T activities; however, the enhanced efficiencies gained while maintaining the core mandate of ITU-T should balance this perception • Leadership continuity needs to be addressed: o SG chairs running for a second term needs to be taken into account o Members’ requests for leadership positions including regional and gender balance should be reflected in new structural arrangements • Larger, but more responsive and streamlined mandates of the SGs will: o Include the priority issues identified by the current SGs o o Be sufficiently flexible to permit the rearrangement of issues to maximize efficiency • Mandates of the SGs will reflect emerging technology, market trends as well as convergence • Size and scope of each SG with larger mandates could: o Create operational challenges o Place increased importance on the appointment of a strong and experienced leadership
