11:15 Deliverable 1: Definitions (metrics)

1.1 Reminder of Terms of Reference - “The FG, based on existing terms and definitions used in ITU, should:
  • identify the terms and definitions (including units, see section 5.3) needed to analyze the three major relationships between ICTs and Climate Change;
  • identify differences between existing terms and definitions;
  • develop and propose new definitions where necessary (gaps)”

Day 1 Afternoon Session  
14:00 Deliverable 2: Gap Analysis

2.1 Reminder of Terms of Reference. “The FG should:
  • analyze the energy-saving measures that ICTs would have, directly and indirectly (e.g. on transport), on Climate Change;
  • identify which measures need to be standardized;
  • perform a “gap analysis” of these measures, based on the ongoing activities inside and outside ITU-T;
  • develop and propose a roadmap for future work within ITU-T.

15:30 – 16:00 Coffee Break
16:00 Deliverable 3: Methodology-What mitigation is possible via ICTs?

3.1 Reminder of Terms of Reference. “The FG should develop a methodology to describe and estimate present and future user [energy] consumption of ICTs over their entire life-cycle. This should include:
  • a calculation methodology of energy consumption saved through ICT utilization;
  • the definition of basic units relevant to the cases considered;
  • the identification, gathering and processing of relevant parameters (e.g. user behaviour);
  • the principles and tools to measure and evaluate the results;
  • a list of examples of the uses of how ICTs can replace or displace other energy-consuming technologies/uses;
  • an analysis of existing standards and a proposal for the development of new standards, if needed.
