Title: Guidance and terminology on environment
Description: 1 Motivation To be useful to stakeholders, guidance is needed to locate a specific topic of interest, and the terminology used should harmonise within ITU-T Study Group 5 and with what is used in other international standards development organizations. ITU-T Study Group 5 has published, as a guide, an overview of ITU-T K-series documents, which provides information on measures to achieve electromagnetic compatibility for telecommunication equipment and installations. This Question is responsible to keeping this guide updated. ITU-T Study Group 5 also covers information and communications technologies (ICTs) (including new and emerging technologies), EMC, EMF, and environment and climate change (CC) including circular economy to reach sustainable development goals (SDGs). ITU-T Study Group 5 has published several Recommendations and other deliverables that need to be maintained. The following deliverables, in force at the time of approval of this Question, fall under its responsibility: - ITU-T K-series Recommendations - ITU-T L-series Recommendations on construction, installation and protection of cables and other elements of outside plant, such as ITU-T L.1, L.3, L.4, L.5, L.6, L.7, L.8, L.9, L.18, L.19, L.71, L.75 and L.76; - ITU-T L-series Recommendations on environment and ICTs, climate change, e-waste, energy efficiency; - Guide to the use of ITU-T publications produced by ITU-T Study Group 5 aimed at achieving electromagnetic compatibility and safety; - Technical papers and supplements; - Handbook on jointing of plastic-sheathed cables; - Handbook on outside plant technologies for public networks; - Compendium of cable measurement methods; - Guides on the use of ITU-T Study Group 5 publications. 2 Questions Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to: - All terms, definitions, abbreviations, letter symbols and schematic symbols used in the ITU T Study Group 5 Recommendations, supplements, and other deliverables; - Harmonize with terminology used by other relevant parties outside of ITU-T Study Group 5; - Liaise with other bodies regarding terminology used in the ITU-T Study Group 5 Recommendations. - To create an ITU deliverable containing the existing environmental key performance indicators (KPIs) and performance methodologies defined by ITU-T Study Group 5 and if possible KPIs and performance methodologies related to environment defined by any other ITU-T Study Groups. - To establish and maintain information sharing between ITU-T Study Group 5 and other groups within and outside ITU, for example SDOs, and relevant stakeholders. - What ITU website application could be used to obtain information related to KPIs and performance methodologies? - Create a technical report on the use of ITU-T SG5 Recommendations and supplements, in order to get feedback of experts and practitioners on the implementation of SG5 Recommendations. 3 Tasks Tasks include, but are not limited to: - Monitor and advise on terminology used for terms, definitions, abbreviations, letter symbols and schematic symbols in ITU-T Study Group 5 publications; see the "Motivation" section above; - Monitor and try to harmonise terminology usage with other standards development organizations; - Respond to or create liaisons with other bodies regarding terminology; - Enhancement of the ITU-T SG5 publications; - Develop and maintain Guides to ITU-T SG5 publications; - Maintain SG5 orphan publications, such as in the L-series Recommendations; - Transition publication and terminology guides to be suitable for enhancing ITU-T SG5 web presence; - Participate with the ITU Standardization Committee for Vocabulary (SCV) and the ITU-R Coordination Committee for Vocabulary (CCV) activities; - Develop Recommendations, technical report and supplements on KPIs and performance methodologies. An up-to-date status of work under this Question is contained in the ITU-T SG5 work programme (https://www.itu.int/ITU-T/workprog/wp_search.aspx?sp=18&q=8/5). 4 Relationships Recommendations and Publications: - Recommendations and all other documents produced by or referenced by SG5 Questions: - All SG5 Questions Study Groups: - ITU-T SGs - ITU-R SGs - ITU-D SGs Vocabulary: - ITU-T Standardization Committee for Vocabulary (SCV): https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/committees/scv - ITU-R Coordination Committee for Vocabulary (CCV): https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/study-groups/rccv - ITU terms and definitions: https://www.itu.int/br_tsb_terms/ - IEC Electropedia: https://www.electropedia.org/ - IEC Glossary: https://std.iec.ch/glossary - FranceTerme: http://www.culture.fr/franceterme - IEEE Standards Dictionary: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/dictionary.jsp Other bodies: - IEC - ISO - IEEE-SA - ETSI - Other relevant standardization organizations WSIS Action Lines: - C5 Sustainable Development Goals: - 11, 13
