            •    information sharing of cloud computing standardization 
                 activities, e.g. NIST, ITU-T FG Cloud, DMTF, ISO/IEC 
                 JTC1 SC38, IEEE P2301™,P2302 ™
            •    prepare proposal to TTC planning and strategy 
                 committee by March 2012 how TTC should tackle Cloud 
                 Computing  in the future, e.g., standardization items, 
                 formation of new working group, etc.

       •    In the past years virtualization technologies are 
            standardized in various forums, e, g. DMTF, SNIA, OGF.   
       •    In May 2010 ITU-T established Focus Group on Cloud 
            Computing and tasked it to prepare proposal how ITU-T 
            should tackle Cloud Computing related study to January 
            2012 TSAG meeting.  
       •    ISO/IEC JTC1 SC38 SGCC was established in May 2010 
            and developed the final report in September 2011, 
            proposing to transform SG into new WG3 and develop 
            terminology and architecture standard.
       •    DMTF and SNIA submitted application for ISO/IEC JTC1 
            PAS Submitter Status in September 2011. 
       •    In November 2010 NIST has established 5 working group 
            to develop guideline for US Federal Agencies to introduce 
            cloud computing.   The objectives are set to realize 
            transportability, interoperability and security. The final 
            report is expected in November 2011.

                                             Challenges
       • Although Cloud Services are realized by both IT 
            and Telecom technologies, standardization 
            efforts from telecommunication perspectives 
            have not been well undertaken yet,
       • Present TTC member does not include either IT 
            vendors or Cloud Service Providers, 
       • Close collaboration between IT and Telecom 
            sectors is required to develop open cloud 
            computing specification to realize portability, 
            interoperability and security.
