GSC-19_200a 9 July 2015 Document Title: Source: Contact: Agenda Item: 1 IoT session information ETSI Jørgen Friis 4 PURPOSE The purpose of this information is to prepare the GSC-19 participants for the IoT session. This is to give an overview of the format of the session and facilitate the debate by providing a first set of questions to be addressed. 2 REFERENCES None 3. CONTENT This session will focus on facilitating a debate on IoT amongst the session participants. The session is divided into two parts of 90 minutes each split over the two meeting days. This offers the opportunity to adjust the subjects for discussion to address the subjects of interest for the participants. There will be no presentations except the one used by the session moderator to introduce the session and set the scene to animate the debate. The main objective of the session is to foster collaboration across the GSC community. Parts of the session will therefore be in the format of group work. ETSI will organize the seating at the individual tables in the meeting room. Day 1 [16:00 – 17:30] This first part will address the following two questions: 1. What about a. the IoT standardization landscape – what’s your views? (There will be some supporting material, very small so good if you bring yours) b. our level of responsibility, commitment from GSC members 2. How would we like the IoT standardization landscape to be a. What can we do? b. What do we want to do? The session will start with an introduction by the moderator, including some opening remarks setting the scene and then there will be an introduction to the group work. The moderator will also help develop the aforementioned questions to facilitate the debate. The participants are invited to consider preparing views on and comments to the questions above and for the discussion following the group work. After the group work is completed the chair will moderate the discussion on the input from the participants. Finally there will be a wrap-up and take away to be considered for the second part of the session the following day. Day 2 [09:00 – 10:30] The second part will start with a recap of the findings the day before. ETSI will prepare new subjects and questions will be presented depending on the take away from the first part. The new subjects can derive directly from the discussions in the first session, or collateral to those same discussions, depending on the evolution of day one, including the cocktail reception. Again ETSI will organize group work to address the questions and moderate the discussion on the output from all groups. The moderator will try to identify the most critical issues and a summary with (hopefully) conclusions related to our collaboration will be provided for the closing session. 4. SUMMARY ETSI has planned the IoT session with the aim to take the discussions in GSC to a new level. This is built on the wishes from all GSC Members expressed during the GSC reform project to focus more on strategic discussions. The content of the discussions will depend on the outcome of the first open part that will guide us to focus on the real issues of common interest in the second part. The success of the session will depend on the readiness to contribute from all participants to GSC. ____________________
