6. GCTC 2016
• Aims to demonstrate quantifiable/measurable benefits to the cities
and communities
• Traffic jam reduction by 20%?
• Air pollution reduction by 25%?
• Energy reduction by 30%?
 20-month process (2 Phases)
◦ 1st Phase by June 2016
◦ 2nd Phase by June 2017
• Team solutions to be replicated and deployed in as many cities as
possible.
• At least two organizations are required to form a team.
• Each team must have at least one committed municipal partner as a member
(Not a requirement today, but required to participate in the 2016 Expo.)
• Look for news in the next quarter about recognition awards
and about a small grants program.

7. 2-Phases
 Phase 1 by June 2016 Expo: Team Building
Process
◦ Participants will find their partners, form GCTC
Teams, set committed goals and KPIs, and
present the feasibility of achieving the joint goal.
◦ Participants will demonstrate and pilot the
solutions and build partnerships with as many
cities as possible
 Phase 2 by June 2017 Expo: Implementation
Process
◦ Teams will implement and deploy solutions to
achieve the goal based on the KPIs devised at
Phase 1 of the Team Building Process.
◦ Teams will demonstrate the measured impacts.NIST 7

Standards/Frameworks
 Establishment of a Smart City
Framework
◦ Informed by the record established by the
Challenge, address standards and
measurement challenges in deploying IoT
and CPS in Smart Cities/Communities to
serve as the basis for framework
 Working group process will be based
on public participation.
