  1. “SOS Interop” II Sophia Antipolis, 20-21 September 2005 Standards, open standards & Interoperabilitythe “SOS Interop” initiativeWhy and how? Karl Heinz Rosenbrock Director General, ETSI

  2. Why are we here today? • We spotted a set of inter-related issues that may/will impact our common future: • What is the impact of market evolution on the stakes and ways to achieve interoperability? • What is the impact of ICT market evolution on intellectual property in standards making? • What is an open standard? Is there a way to build consensus on a definition?

  3. As a major player in the standards arena ETSI took the initiative to take a pro-active approach • Discuss with and consult stakeholders: industry, policy makers, regulators, administrations, trade associations, users • Understand the stakes/analyze implications • Try to elaborate common solutions • “It’s not peace we’re seeking, it’s meaning”

  4. SOS Interop I • Very good response and feedback from stakeholders, both speakers and audience • A variety of positions and viewpoints expressing a diversity of approaches • A consensus that topics and timing were key to the ICT industry and that ETSI should continue its efforts • Handover to Members • Discussions have been ongoing since then (web forum) • Increasing number of stakeholders in the discussion

  5. SOS Interop II • Global participation • A day and a half event to allow for more debate (and more networking) • Additional views will be presented in the plenary sessions • Three break out sessions - moderated by Members - which aim at taking the discussions on each track further

  6. Overall Objective • Ensure standardization addresses those issues that are unanimously recognized as critical to ICT industry • Ensure ETSI plays a role in this endeavour • Provide a platform for discussion • Help find time-to-market solutions • If relevant and agreed upon by stakeholders, adapt ETSI's ways and means to meet the challenges

  7. Specific Objectives • Track 1: Interoperability • Further explore/discuss the stakes/goals of ‘Interoperability’ and common (SDO) ways to achieve them • Moderator: Hans van der Veer, ETSI Board Interoperability evangelist • Track 2: Open standards • Create a new dynamic on ‘open standards’ that meets all ICT players needs and gets their support • Moderator: Jean Pierre Henninot, French Ministry of Industry • Track 3: IPRs in standards • Agree on a problem definition of the IPR issues and propose ways forward • Co-moderators: Markus Muenkler, Vodafone and Karl Heinz Rosenbrock, ETSI Director-General

  8. Why do it in ETSI? • The temptation can be strong to • Seek solutions in ad-hoc groups catering for the specific needs of a category of players • Set up new organizations • ETSI is in a position to best help its Members • Global industrial membership > market recognition • Connected to policy makers, regulators and administrations > institutional recognition • A global player in standardization

  9. Before we get started • We thank you for the support we've received for this initiative which touches upon complex and sensitive issues • We believe the SOS Interop initiative is a great opportunity to progress together • We also believe that participation of all stakeholders is key to ensure balanced discussions • Whilst aiming at taking all necessary measures to remain a premier SDO worldwide, ETSI is committed to ensure this balance and representation of all viewpoints

  11. Logistics • Plenary session will be in Amphi Athena on both days. • Presentations 20 minutes/Q&As 10 minutes after each slot • Time keeping will be draconian! • Break out sessions: 20th from 14:30 to 16:30. • Separate rooms (Athena, Amphi Iris and Iris 6), all with WiFi, computer projection and paper boards. • We asked at registration who wanted to attend which breakout session in order to allocate rooms. • Members and non Members have different colour badges • Lunches at France Telecom Restaurant (across the road) • Dinner in Opio on Tuesday evening > bus leaves at 18:45 in front of main lobby, and will bring us back to ETSI afterwards.
