… to provide a venue for the leaders of the Participating Standards Organizations and the ITU to:

Freely exchange information on the progress of standards development in the different regions and the state of the global standards development environment; and

Collaborate in planning future standards development to gain synergy and to reduce duplication.

Further, the mandate of GSC is to provide a venue for the leaders of the Participating Standards Organizations to:

Support the ITU as the preeminent global telecommunication and radiocommunication standards development organization.

GSC is not a standards development organization.”

“… be … of interest to multiple GSC Members …

“… of global interest …”


HIS (High Interest Subjects): Definition


Criteria for adoption of a HIS:if 3 GSC Members are in favor

Criteria for deletion of a HIS:if majority of GSC Members support proposal for removal orif it receives fewer than 3 presentations at each meeting for two consecutive GSC meetings

HIS: Adoption and Deletion Criteria


A HIS may have an associated GSC-Resolution but it is not a requirement

vice-versa, a GSC-Resolution may have an associated HIS but it is not a requirement: 3 Res on IPR (Res 22-24) (no HIS) 2 Res from User Working Group (no HIS)

There are some Resolutions but the HIS they came from is no longer a HIS Res 5, 13, 18-21

New and Novel Topics (N&N)

Goal: to allow for discussion of topics which are not yet established as HIS.

First time at GSC-14 ITU issued a call for abstract as part of the

invitation to GSC-members and observers 6 N&N presentations at GSC-14:

Smart grids (3) Service Oriented Networks Future Network Issues Machine-to-Machine communications


Information Sharing Subjects

Goal: to share info but not to present or discuss

There is no formal list of ISS-topics. Any GSC-Member and invited observer can

issue an ISS document on any topic to GSC-14

The ISS document is given a document number, put on the server and noted in the agenda item ISS (for information only – no discussion).
