Wrap‐ups
 The future social infrastructures based on cloudcomputing and networking systems must be basedon appropriate global standards.
 GICTF has been and will be contributing to inter‐cloud technologies development and standardization.
 Accelerating standardization is very important, byrelevant SDOs
 Technology evaluation efforts are important byencouraging users to join the evaluation
