Abstract

Green Information and Communication Technologies (GICT) refers to the wide-ranging spectrum of environmentally friendly technologies that power the connected information infrastructure globally. The GICT Working Group (WG) within GISFI brings the stakeholder’s standpoints to the standardization forum and seeks to evolve the most suitable approach for adoption in the Indian context. The WG also aims to develop specifications in specific areas where existing global standards do not meet Indian requirements. In this paper, an overview of GICT WG activities is provided along with the current progress of important work items from an Indian standards development perspective. The paper also outlines the collaboration of the GICT WG with external organizations and presents a structured roadmap of technical specifications development.
