ABOUT ETSI


ETSI in a nutshell

Scope of activities: Standards for Telecommunications, ICT, and other electronic communications networks and services

35000+ publications (standards, reports, whitepapers, guides, …) for free download800+ member organizations from across the globe80+ Partnership and Co‐operation Agreements40+ Committees & Specification Groups

Established 1988, Not for Profit, Recognised by European Union as European Standards Organization (ESO)


WHAT IS THE ETSI WORK PROGRAMME AND HOW DOES IT EVOLVE?


ETSI Work Programme –built bottom up and constantly evolving

The ‘programme of work’ is built bottom upThe members decide what to standardize and the timing and resourcing of standardization tasks. They approve the final drafts

So the standards ETSI produces truly respond to the needs of the industries ETSI serves

Our work programme is constantly evolving and standardization projects are created and closed every year


ETSI Technology Clusters


For more information have a look at: http://www.etsi.org/about/etsi-work-programme

Each cluster encapsulatesthe work of a number of committees and working groups that share a common technological scope and vision

ETSI Work Programme ‐ some facts

Rich portfolio of standardisation projectsDiversity in terms of scope and participation• From broad scope like mobile communications or M2M to specific

topics like QKD (Quantum Key Distribution)• From hundreds of organizations involved to a few

Multiplicity in terms of formal setup according to needs (EPs, TCs, PPs, ISGs)Most popular standards (see www.etsi.org)• NFV, LTE (including conformance specs), DVB, smart cards, …

Biggest groups in term of number of new work items• 3GPP, OneM2M, ERM, NFV, …


ETSI Work Programme ‐ on the road to 5GTHE platform for the future networked society

WHAT NEEDS TO BE STANDARDIZED?


ICT is different

Success in the ICT industry is all about leveraging ‘network effects’ (aka as ‘network externalities’ or ‘demand‐side economies of scale’)

‘network effect’: the value of a networked service for one user increases with the number of users of the service

ICT Standardization enables interoperable products to ignite network effects


A Standard is producedmainly for • engineers who will implement it and• procurement specialists who expect suppliers’ products to conform to it

A Standard should therefore be easy to understand and to implement• Clear, • Accurate• Unambiguous, • Consistent, • Complete

What is a good standard?

A standard – essential part of product design

Proprietary(closed) interface(s)

Proprietary functionality = product Added Value


Proprietary( ‘open’) interface(s)

Implementation of non-normative functionality

Normative (open)

interface(s)

Implementation of (normative)

behaviour (functionality)

associated with the interface(s)

TS 123

Standards

Product

TS 1-2-3

This could be an Open Source

implementation

A good Standard does not specify implementation details orconstraints. Implementers need to know what to implement without describing how

‘What’ has to be implemented, not ‘how’!

HOW TO EXPLOIT RESEARCH RESULTS THROUGH STANDARDIZATION?


Standardization life‐cycle


Pre-Standardization Standard Setting Post-Standardization

Embryonic stage:• Technology breeding• Business nurturing

‘The making of a standard’

Maintenance:• Corrections• Incremental feature

enhancementsNot yet a best solution: informative

There is a ‘best’ solution: normative(consensus on a solution aka ‘dominant design’)

Enhancements and enrichments of the solution

Studies/reports/guides• Gap analysis• Assessments of

alternative solutions

Technical standards3-stages: requirements, system architecture, protocols

CR and planning of new releases

https://portal.etsi.org//home.aspx


Opportunities to get involved (2)

Initiate a new committee/group• Get the support of at least 4 ETSI members• Develop the rationale and scope of work • Contact the ETSI Secretariat for guidance (choices, process)

Participate in validation activities organized by ETSI• Proof of Concept (PoC) to build confidence in a new technology e.g.

NFV PoC at http://www.etsi.org/technologies‐clusters/technologies/nfv/nfv‐poc

• Interoperability tests e.g. http://www.etsi.org/news‐events/events/1045‐onem2m‐interop‐2


SUMMARY TO TAKE AWAY


Summary to take away

ETSI work programme is open for new standardization initiatives to stay in touch with the changing nature of ICT ETSI work programme is developed bottom up. It constantly evolves according to the needs of its global membership. A standard is part of a product design. A good standard is implementation agnostic. It specifies what needs to be implemented, not how.Research input is essential especially in the informative study phase (pre‐standardization). There are various means for a researcher to contribute to standards related work – from whitepaper to report to specification

BACKUPNext level of detail


Paths to start new work in ETSIDifferent levels of innovation in ETSI

New WI (new standard), new WG (for new work items) –committee decides

New TC, EP – Board decides (New PP – GA decides)

New ISG – DG decides (upon Board consultation)


Strong ‘Drafting Committees’ are key

Meet the window of opportunity by starting early• Convert existing communities e.g. R&I project consortium into pre‐

standardisation groups• Build consensus early to be ready to set a standard

Attract key stakeholders who need the standards to develop their business and support their top experts to progress the work• Build critical mass and grow as you go

Strengthen drafting committees through experts in STFNOTE: Enlarge drafting committees • non‐ETSI members in ISGs• Members of Organisational Partners in PPs


Creation of a Work Item

The description of a task defined in terms of the:• title• intended deliverable type (EN, ES, TS, EG, TR)• technical scope • schedule of tasks for its production• identities of the supporting members (minimum 4)• identity of the rapporteur• other aspects (environmental, User and security aspects)

separate Work Item for each deliverableTBs define and approve new Work Items.

- TWP 1.6.1


Adoption of a Work Item into the work program

Technical Body completes Work Item form and adopt it using the normal decision making processWork Item on ETSI Work Programme (EWP), flagged “New” • until the end of the month following the month the WI was entered onto the Work Programme

ETSI Secretariat makes EWP available to ETSI members

Work Item adoption is confirmed unless a substantial objection is received from an ETSI member

(Similar arrangements for 3GPP Work Items) - TWP 1.6.3


The rapporteur

“individual responsible for an ETSI work item and who acts as the prime contact point on technical matters and for information on progress throughout the drafting phases of the Work Item”

Owns the draft deliverable Integrates text from (written) contributions if approved by committee/group

Rapporteur’s tools:• ETSI Style Sheet • ETSI Drafting Rules • Document template


How to start a new TC

Board strategic topic/ad‐hoc groupWorkshop, meetings as appropriateDraft and agree on scope of work/ToR (Terms of Reference) with minimum support of 4 ETSI membersBoard creates the TC by approving its ToR based on written proposals in accordance with the criteria given in annex D.

Examples

Technology driven (e.g. ISG QKD) vs. business driven (ISG NFV) vs. policy driven (e.g. TC AERO) standardisationBroad technical scope (e.g. TC ERM) versus narrow technical scope (e.g. ISG ECI) Technology oriented standardization groups provide technical solution elements for a given business context or several business models may exist to capture the value of the technology (e.g. TC RRS exploiting results from FP6 E2R, FP7 E2)Business oriented standardization groups often are forum like initiatives under the umbrella of ETSI. Time to market is crucial. Often pull technological solutions (e.g. ISG NFV (more than 200 companies since January 2013))


Strong ‘Drafting Committees’ are key

Meet the window of opportunity by starting early• Convert existing communities e.g. several R&I project consortia into

pre‐standardisation groups• Build consensus early to be ready to set a standard

Attract key stakeholders who need the standards to develop their business and support their top experts to progress the work• Build critical mass and grow as you go

Strengthen drafting committees through experts in STFNOTE: Enlarge drafting committees • non‐ETSI members in ISGs• Members of Organisational Partners in PPs
