Share best practices on smart city planning and development in ASEAN 2. Identify suitable international and policy models and practices for smart city development, including in areas such as IoT, M2M, and sensor technologies 3. Identify, develop or adopt suitable standards for smart city developments, such as for IoT, M2M, and sensor technologies, and related policies 4. Explore the development of a measurement mechanism to track efficiencies in smart city management through ICT 3.1.2 Develop Guides and Applications for Open and Big Data Support open and big data application development, including awareness building and education in standards, usage and development 1. Establish a forum or platform for private sector to share developments and activities in big data management and analysis 2. Develop guides for standardising the type and standards for machine-readable open data 3. Support open data development through hosting of competitions where innovative uses and application of open government data is encouraged (e.g. a hackathon) 3.1.3. Monitor New Technology Developments and Trends Identify, share and discuss new and emerging ICT issues 1. Develop Centre of Excellence (CoE) collaboration by identifying CoEs and hosting networking events for them to meet and share ideas and experience 2. Create a virtual platform to collaborate with research partners and stakeholders to collate and distribute updates on new technologies and standards to TELSOM Initiative 3.2 Promote Collaboration and Innovation Between Public and Private Sectors Develop closer ties with the private sector to leverage synergies 20 ACTION POINT DESCRIPTION TARGET/PROJECT 3.2.1 Develop an Ecosystem Conducive to Support Start-ups and Strengthen Enterprises Develop and promote a start-up ecosystem by connecting government, schools, and the private sector 1. Study the existing start-up ecosystem of incubators, seed funders and venture capitalists in ASEAN 2. Develop platforms to connect start-up companies to potential private investors E. Strategic Thrusts, Initiatives, and Action Points Initiative 4.1 Fostering Broadband Access and Connectivity Ensuring an ASEAN connectivity backbone is in place ACTION POINT DESCRIPTION TARGET/PROJECT 4.1.1 Reduce Development Disparities in Access and Affordability to Broadband Access and Improving ICT Interoperability Identify gaps in Internet access, affordability, and network interoperability 1. Identify new digital divides, such as access and cost, brought about by new technologies 2. Mapping of priority locations (cities, provinces) requiring broadband deployment for private sector participation; host discussion to highlight opportunities for private sector participation in broadband development and deployment 3. Support IPv6 adoption by partnering with stakeholders to raise awareness of its importance 4.1.2 Promote Cooperation to Strengthen the Resilience and Repair of Submarine Cables Develop a framework among all AMS to expedite repairs of submarine cables in their waters by minimising permit requirements and cost 1. Convene dialogue with relevant stakeholders to identify key issues faced with submarine cable repairs in ASEAN 2. Develop a template for Service Level Agreements (SLA) for submarine cable repair 3. Develop a framework on expedited protection and repair of submarine cables and to increase the resilience of ASEAN's information hardware Initiative 4.2 Develop Disaster Management and Response Frameworks Increase resilience of ASEAN ICT communication networks ACTION POINT DESCRIPTION TARGET/PROJECT 4.2.1 Develop Best Practices for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System using ICT Develop a framework on use of ICT for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System based on established best practices and policies among all AMS 1. Map areas of infrastructural resilience against existing warning sensors 2. Have disaster management and early-warning centres share their experience on sensor and infrastructure resilience 3. Develop success stories and case studies featuring how sensor deployment contributes to infrastructure resilience after a disaster, and identify technologies that work in a practical setting 4. Develop a framework on use of ICT for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System based on established best practices and policies among all AMS E.
