 I'm here at the ITU in Geneva and I'm very pleased to be joined by Dr. Chesa Blee, Director of the Telecommunications Standardization Bureau. Chesa, welcome and thank you for joining us here today. Thank you. So we're here at the beginning of the study period in 2017 and we just finished the WTSA, the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly. Could you please explain to our viewers what some of the key outcomes from WTSA were and how this might have affected the future of our standards work? As you know, WTSA has every four years for our members to define our strategies, our structure for ITU standardization work. Last WTSA was held in 2016. They reviewed our work programs, our structures, our working methods. So they put of this ITUT again as a strong position to prepare this ICT innovation for the next challenges. Let me say I have some key examples. Our members live with our structures, our work programs, our study group structures and then with that they called for ITUT to accelerate our study to support this wireline networking innovations such as the 5G and also support of these ultra high-speed transport networks including broadband and home networks. And we have this through this WTSA, we increased our work scope to expand our study scope to cover this IoT security and privacy as well as the big data aspect. This is a very important subject for us to support of this smart operations. And also we encourage to include the digital financial inclusions that is another important subject and also we have a promote of our standard works with the global mobile roaming telephones that is another important subject. And in addition to this, WTSA encouraged us to use of this cloud computing to afford data trackings in case of this that any machine that is connected like aircraft or automotive vehicles. And also this we have allowed to extend our collaborations with open source communities, open source projects. This is an important expansion of our work scope. And finally our members asked ITUT to provide some of our technical guidance to the regulators in terms of this quality of service and quality of experience and also protection of our customers. So it seems our mandate is set for the next few years up until 2020 speaking of which a lot of people see 2020 as a kind of milestone for ICT development. What are some of the key standardization priorities for the next four years? Yeah, looking for the year 2020, most important critical subject should be the 5G. 5G is now already shaping and we will see of these smart cities supported with IoT. And also we can see of this ICT innovations, building of this true state ICT infrastructures. Our members as we asked us to continue our ongoing works like quality of service, performance and also security as a support of this our operators and service providers retain of their customers. This is ongoing works and also we have the strength of our ongoing infrastructure related study like ultra high speed networks and broadband and also home networks or those are the infrastructure aspect. One of the important part as you said is 5G, how we can realize support of this realization of this 5G. Following of this 5G focus group, we did this study last study period. Following of this we can continue to provide the various solutions to realize of this 5G. This is one of the important subject. Through this our study we believe we really support the pure fixed mobile convergence. So this is one of our stream goals and also we believe through these activities it's really have good collaborations, good support of these ITORs, 5G study on the radio transmission. Definitely this was helpful for supporting various emerging applications like automotive driving, health related, enhancing of education. This is our approach of this study period. Another subject should be the smart city issues. Smart city should be benefit from the IUT technologies. So smart city is very important subject for all city governors and also good platforms to incorporate many of technologies. So we are continuing our exercise, our study, how to realize of these smart cities. We already have more than 10 cities to apply this smart city KPIs. This is what we expect to continue this exercise and find out more details of this how to implement of the smart cities. Definitely the start continue this study on IUT is a very essential part to support of smart cities. So we have a new mandate the IUT security privacy and trust. This should be done by the study group 10T. They will challenge of this subject and also in addition this study group will challenge of this big data processing in the sense of the support smart city operation. That is the important subject of this. All this together we expect this study result will be helpful to challenge how we can build trusted infrastructure. So it seems that you have 5G IOT trust as the top priorities for our members. Speaking of members, what kind of new or innovative services are we providing towards as a bureau towards our membership base? IUT we continuously continue our effort to provide more convenience way for our members. Specifically we provide very sophisticated election and working method to our members. Pretty much we will continue to enhance of this our services. We are always delighted to looking this any opportunity to enhance our services. I want to highlight first one is we try to enhance our document processing tools as an essential part for standard development and also improve remote participation to help of this anyone specifically developing countries to engage of this our standard development process. In addition we are very keen to provide to address bridging the standardization gaps. So this is a very important subject whether we are aiming for expert between expert and non-expert whether they living in the developed regions or developing regions there's a sum of expert and non-expert. So we try to bring of this so-called hands-on training to teach how to develop of the contributions, how to present of the contributions, how to get you know collect of the supporters, how to get engagement of this our debate and how to get support of their proposals. All this is a hands-on training programs. We can provide of this program during the study group meetings but also any request from our members we can bring of these programs to that the members place. Through this hands-on bridging standardization gaps of this hands-on training we hope this will give some more opportunity to sharing the benefits of these ICT innovations. And you know a big part of our activity is bringing together industry academia member states so they can learn from each other share best practices knowledge. What are some of our upcoming events that you might want to highlight? Many events because we are now in the new study period so as a user of this our expert groups like ITUT study groups they have their meetings throughout the year so we already started couple of study groups already started and also we often have some of open events with the form of workshops, forums, seminars. This will give us a great opportunity to collect of the views to address of this one itemized subject in ITUT side and also to collect of this relevant experts together. As an example just a list of some of key elements, key events for this year is in case of this ninth of March we will have so-called future network workshops collaborating with UNEC as this is just in at the front of this Juniper Motor Show and also 12 of March we have a forum on data management with a back-to-back with a study group of 20 which will be held in Dubai and 21st March we will have a workshop on blockchain with just in front of this study group 17 so how we can address of the security issues to the blockchain subject and from 3rd to 5th of April we have a green standard weeks which will held in Colombia with the subject of smart cities and 6th to 10th of June IOT weeks in Juniper with collaborating with many IOT communities I think it's finally 7th to 9th of June we have collaborating with IBM Watson XPrize with we have one of first event on AI for good summit so those are just at the first half of this year if we have many additional events we will come at the second half but there's some key events for this year. Okay Chae, I'd like to thank you very much indeed for joining us today and I'd like to wish you all the best of luck and success for the next study period. Thank you very much all the best to this year. Thank you. Thank you.
