ITU-T’s strategic goals
 To develop interoperable, nondiscriminatory international
standards (ITU-T Recommendations)
 To assist in bridging the
standardization gap between
developed and developing countries
 To extend and facilitate international
cooperation among international,
regional and national standardization
bodies

Bridging the Standardization
Gap (BSG)
 BSG is one of the three strategic goals of ITU-T
 The gap is defined as the disparities in the ability
of developing countries, relative to developed
ones, to access, implement, contribute to and
influence international ICT standards, specifically
ITU‐T Recommendations.
 Bridging the standardization gap: PP Res 123,
WTSA Res 44 and WTDC Res 47
 Details will be provided in the following

Accessibility and
ITU-T standardization 1/2
 Information handling capability varies for all ICT users
 Everyone can benefit from accessibility standards
 ITU-T’s accessibility work ensures that all newly
developed standards contain the necessary elements to
make services and features usable for people with as
broad range of capabilities as possible
 Standards should also describe suitable methods of
media delivery for people with disabilities, and are
therefore essential for the provision of services
accessible for all
Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014

(JTF) on the use of submarine cable
systems for climate change monitoring and
disaster (tsunami) warning
Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
International
Telecommunication
Union
54
The Initiative
The deep ocean is largely unknown….
 How could submarine cables be used as a real-
time global network to monitor climate change
and to provide tsunami warnings?
 A new generation of regional scientific cabled
ocean observatories is emerging at a few selected
sites, but there is a need and opportunity to
extend observations and monitoring over much
wider area of the global oceans.
 Submarine telecommunication cables equipped
with sensors to measure key variables such as
water temperature, pressure and acceleration on
the ocean floor are viewed as vital to monitor
climate change and to provide tsunami warnings.
Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
55
The Initiative
 “Using submarine telecommunications cables for
ocean and climate monitoring and disaster
warning”
 ITU (International Telecommunication Union)
with UNESCO’s (United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s) IOC
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission), and the WMO (World
Meteorological Organization)
 Established a task force
Maputo, Mozambique, 14-16 April 2014
56
ITU/WMO/UNESCO-IOC Joint Task Force


Agreed on its Terms of Reference and was tasked, inter alia:
 with developing a strategy and roadmap that could lead to enabling the
availability of submarine repeaters equipped with scientific sensors for
climate monitoring and disaster risk reduction for tsunamis, and
 to analyse the potential renovation and use of out-of-service cables for this
purpose.
It is composed of more than 70 international experts from the science,
engineering, business and law communities.
 Chair: Chris Barnes, Professor Emeritus, University of Victoria (Canada)
 Vice-Chair: David Meldrum, Research Fellow, Scottish Association for
Marine Science (SAMS) and JCOMM Observations Programme Area
(UNESCO-IOC)
