In October 2009, <strong>CIAJ</strong> embarked on a new page inits history by becoming a general incorporated association.The core Regular Members are manufacturers of telecom equipment, including networkdevices and mobile handsets, while other industry players, such as telecom carriers andsolution vendors participate as Forum Members. All in all, <strong>CIAJ</strong> has 244 companies and organizationson its membership as of July, <strong>2012</strong>. As part of upholding <strong>CIAJ</strong>’s basic principle ofcreating new business opportunities and contributing to the robust growth of the industry,we will strengthen our efforts to promote policies and raising awareness of industrypositions, attain tangible achievements from committee activities, and enhance our effortsto disseminate information to a wide audience.System IntegratorsVendors ofTerminalsCarriersVendors ofSolutionsWorking hand-in-hand with our member companies, <strong>CIAJ</strong> is ageneral incorporated association committed to the healthydevelopment of info-communication network industriesthrough the promotion of ICT. <strong>CIAJ</strong> also strives for the realizationof a socially, economically and culturally enriching societyin Japan as well as in the global community, by supportingadvanced and widely available uses of information.Strengthening our effortsto promote policies reflectingon-going market trendsExpressing <strong>CIAJ</strong> membership position orpresenting policy proposals to relevantgovernment authorities, issuing pressreleases, conducting market studies,tackling global issues.Active involvement inICT industry issuesEnvironmental issues, improving safetyand reliability, nurturing the necessaryhuman resources.Enhancing focus on our membersMake <strong>CIAJ</strong> activities more visible,encourage the creation of newbusinesses, strengthen our support ofsmall to mid-sized enterprise members.The ICT industry is making a gradual, butsteady recovery from the Great East JapanEarthquake and Tsunami as well as multipleother natural disasters impacting globalbusiness in FY<strong>2012</strong>. However, the overalleconomic uncertainty, led by the financialcrisis in Europe, the strong yen, highcorporate taxes, cut backs in available powersupplies and other negative influences arecontributing to a challenging environment.Transformations in the Japanese ICTmarket are accelerating, such as the incorporationof new global business models and theincreasing penetration of products fromoverseas.On a global level, this industry is witnessingrobust creation of new markets in such areasas cloud computing, smart phones and smartcommunities. As a participant in the deliberationsfor the creation of attractive cities,we believe that ICT will play a vital role intheir implementation.With such market trends in mind, <strong>CIAJ</strong> willintegrate the initiatives undertaken in FY2 0 1 1 w i t h n e w g o a l s , u p h o l d i n g t h efollowing 3 business objectives for FY<strong>2012</strong>.First, “strengthening our efforts topromote policies which take into considerationon-going market trends.” Withchanges in ICT industry business models, <strong>CIAJ</strong>will promote measures which accuratelyreflect our membership views and contributeto the revitalization of the industry.Specifically, we will be committed toexpressing our position or presenting policyproposals to relevant government authoritieson mobile business, conducting statisticalstudies which accurately capture markettrends and tackling issues in order tostrengthen our members’ global competitiveness.Second, “active involvement in issues facedby the ICT industry.” The environment andsafety are the two pillars of this objective.F a l l i n g u n d e r e n v i r o n m e n t a r e t h epromotion of a recycling-based society anduse of green ICT, while safety includes therevision of the Electrical Appliance andMaterial Safety Act and assuring safety in theuse of mobile terminals.Lastly, it goes without saying that <strong>CIAJ</strong> will“strengthen our platform as an associationfocused on our members.” <strong>CIAJ</strong> will not onlyimplement activities which contribute to thebusiness of our members, but also increasethe effectiveness of our achievements andenhance our ability to disseminate informationto targeted audiences.It has been 64 years since <strong>CIAJ</strong> was establishedin 1948. In the coming year, <strong>CIAJ</strong> willcontinue to focus on representing theindustry with even greater reliability andvisibility, and we ask for your continuedsupport in our endeavors.Setsuhiro ShimomuraKazuo OhkiChairmanPresident2
<strong>CIAJ</strong> OrganizationAuditorsGeneral MeetingSteering SubcommitteeFuture Vision of <strong>CIAJ</strong> SubcommitteePromoting interoperability of ICT equipmentIt is natural for users of ICT equipment to purchasedevices from multiple vendors and expect interoperability.It would also be ideal to achieve interoperability oftelecommunications equipment of all vendors throughoutthe globe. <strong>CIAJ</strong> is playing an important role in assuringinteroperability of ICT equipment conforming toITU-T or IETF standards through the Harmonization ofAdvanced Telecommunication Systems (HATS Conference)in which <strong>CIAJ</strong> acts as the Secretariat. By the end ofFY2011, the HATS Conference had conducted interoperabilitytests on 1,376 models from multiple vendors,including SIP-compliant VoIP systems, MPEG-4, IP-PBX,home networking and IP-monitoring camera interoperability.In addition, pretesting in virtual NGN environmentwas conducted. It also promotes interoperabilitythrough demonstrations, exhibits and seminars. <strong>CIAJ</strong> iscurrently working on assuring inter-connectivity andoperability of next-generation IP networks (NGN), HDvideo-conferencing and other image communicationsystems.Easing the burden on the environment<strong>CIAJ</strong> is working with 3 other associations in the electronicsindustry (JEITA, JEMA, JBMIA) to decrease theindustry’s burden on the environment. The 4 associationshave put together voluntary action plans such asthe low carbon society measures and includes energyconservation, waste disposal as well as VOC (volatileorganic compounds), analyzing actual performance andstriving to decrease emission through follow-up efforts.In order to deliberate the appropriate action, <strong>CIAJ</strong> alsoworks to stay informed regarding domestic and foreignlegislation and policies in the field of energy conservation,waste management, collection of discardedelectronic/electrical products and management ofchemical substances applicable to enterprises, as well asregistration of chemical substances used in products andrecycling. We share such information with our membersthrough regularly scheduled lectures on relevant topics,including tackling global warming, management ofchemical substances, resource recycling and internationalstandardization. These <strong>CIAJ</strong> activities are a reflectionof our commitment to decreasing our industry’sburden on the environment.Promoting lower energy consumption ofICT equipment<strong>CIAJ</strong> established the ICT Ecology GuidelineCouncil (hereafter referred to asCouncil) in June 2009 together withthe Telecommunications Carriers Association(TCA), Telecom Services Association, Japan InternetProviders Association (JAIPA), and the ASP-SaaS-Cloud Consortium. The Council has established a guidelinewhich includes a procurement standard of energyefficientICT equipment with the aim of enhancingenvironmentally conscious activities by telecommunicationservices providers. <strong>CIAJ</strong> is actively involved in determiningthe assessment standard, normative referencesand timeline for creating these procurement standardsof ICT equipment.Securing accessibility ofICT equipment and services<strong>CIAJ</strong> established the Info-communicationAccess Council in 1998 to deliberateenhancement and assurance of accessibilityin the planning, developing, anddesigning of ICT equipment or service. Such <strong>CIAJ</strong> activitiesled to the enactment of the JIS X 8341-4 standard inOctober 2005, requiring telecommunication equipmentmanufacturers to incorporate accessibility features intoits product design. In January 2007, ITU-T approvedRecommendation F.790, which was formulated from anoriginal proposal submitted by Japan based on theCouncil’s Telecommunications Accessibility Guidelines.In FY2011, <strong>CIAJ</strong> created a draft revision of JIS X 8341-4which was submitted to the Ministry of Economy, Tradeand Industry and worked on the revision of theTelecommunications Accessibility Guidelines. Furthermore,<strong>CIAJ</strong> actively promoted enhanced awareness andwide spread implementation of the newly revised JIS X8341-3:2010 through the Web Accessibility InfrastructureCommittee (WAIC).Board of DirectorsSteering Board MeetingBudget SubcommitteeForum Planning SubcommitteeCommittees / Study Groups Forum WGs ProjectsInfo-CommunicationsMarketing CommitteeNetwork Marketing CommitteeLink Access SystemsMarketing CommitteeWireless SystemsMarketing CommitteeUser Systems MarketingCommitteeData Marketing CommitteeInternational Affairs CommitteeIP Network System CommitteeTransmission TechnologyCommitteeRadio CommunicationsSystems Marketing CommitteeImage Data Communications& Facsimile CommitteeUser Network SystemsCommitteeMultimedia CommunicationsCommitteeHome Networking SystemsCommitteeMobile TelecommunicationsCommitteeTelecommunications QualityCommitteeObi Study GroupKoike Study GroupProcurement CommitteeLogistics CommitteeQMS CommitteeDesign CommitteeMarketing & Exhibition Committee<strong>CIAJ</strong> Journal Editorial CommitteeGeneral Affairs CommitteeElectromagnetic InterferenceCommitteeConformity AssessmentCommitteeEnvironmental CommitteeProduct Safety CommitteeStandardization PromotionCommitteeNetwork Systems CommitteeParts and ComponentsCommitteeTelecommunications EnergyCommitteeRouter & SwitchTechnology CommitteeChinese Info-CommunicationsIssues Study GroupPolicies Planning SubcommitteeTechnology SubcommitteeInfo-CommunicationsInfrastructure WGDevelopment of the Communityfor the Rural Area WGSmart Work WGHealthcare Systems WGConvergence of Broadcastingand Telecommunications WGWG on the Influence ofInformatization froma Cultural Science PerspectiveWG on Services & Terminalsin the Broadband MobileEnvironmentBroadband Communications WGService Robot Business WGNew Trend & Next-GenerationContents WGWearable WGMobile Business SubcommitteeSubcommittee for Promoting Utilization of ICTResearch and Statistics SubcommitteeHigh-Speed Power Line Communications Task ForceSubcommittee for the Proposal of New WG ThemesWorking Group for PromisingApplications for Next-GenerationVisual CommunicationsService Science Innovation WGWorking Group forNext-Generation In-CarCommunications and ContentsNew Generation Network WGIT Communications for Disaster& Crime Prevention WGWG on the Use andPromotion of Digital SignageCommunity Grid WGWG for the Study of PromisingUses of Tablet DevicesEnergy Conservation ofRouters & Switches ProjectLithium Ion SecondaryBattery Task ForceEnergy-Saving NetworkEquipment ProjectElectrical Appliances andMaterial Safety Act ProjectProject on New Mobile Servicesfor Older Adult UsersProject for Proposing ICT Useto Build Attractive Cities78
