INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS GROUP (ITSG)

Information Technology Standards Group (ITSG) will develop or recommend adoption of information technology standards, frameworks and guidelines. The ITSG will be formed by seconding expertise as needed from other ministries and industry. A pool of members (ten to twelve) to work in the ITSG will be assigned from the public sector and the industry. The members will be appointed for the duration of six months.
A working group will be formed to deal with a specific issue or requirement, and then disbanded once the task is complete. Members, who are unable to contribute fully to the ITSG (for example due to work constraints), will be replaced upon the advice of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology.

Specifically the ITSG will undertake the following tasks under the guidance of the National Computer Center.
