The procedures for establishment of focus groups are defined in Recommendation ITU-T A.7. The ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring – FG AC – was established by the ITU-T Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) in June 2014 and completed the work on its deliverables in December 2015. More information is available at http://itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/ac/.
Deliverables of focus groups can take the form of technical reports, specifications, etc. and aim to provide material for consideration by the parent group in its standardization activities. Deliverables of focus groups are not ITU-T Recommendations.
