ICT security standards coordination

SG 17, as the ITU-T Lead Study Group on Telecommunication Security, has established an "ICT security coordination activity", under the SG 17 management team:
      • leader: SG17 Chairman
      • sub-leaders: WP 1/17 Chairman, WP 2/17 Chairman and WP 3/17 Chairman,
      • members: Q1/17 Rapporteur, Q1/17 Associate Rapporteur, Q8/17 Rapporteur.
      This team will engage study group security contacts in ongoing dialogs, including via teleconferences and GotoMeeting with well-prepared and compelling agendas during SG 17 meetings and at other times, as required.

      Liaison Activities with ITU SG’s and other SDO’s
      • Questions will coordinate with other bodies, both inside ITU and externally, as appropriate, for its subject area;
      • Each Question shall identify work that is relevant and important to their own activities that is being undertaken in other SGs and external organizations and then propose the appointment of a liaison representative to track and, where possible participate in the activities of these other bodies;
      • For internal or external bodies that are important to a particular Question and where there is a SG 17 liaison representative to that body, the Question should work with that representative to be sure he or she is knowledgeable about the Question’s issues and directions.
