Annex G
by Glen Freundlich 16 Dec '98

16 Dec '98

Dear colleagues, I have placed review copies of Annex G in the Incoming directory of avc-site. The file annexg10c contains change marks from the last draft at the Torino meeting. The file annexg10n is the same document with no change marks. I would appreciate any comments. Remember that the white drafts are due 19 December, so I plan to deliver Annex G on 18 December. I've compiled the ASN.1, but I would appreciate if someone else could also compile it as a sanity check. Regards, Glen -- Glen Freundlich ggf(a)lucent.com Lucent Technologies office: +1 303 538 2899 11900 N. Pecos fax: +1 303 538 3907 Westminster, Colorado 80234 USA

The meeting notice will be issued in due time. Best regards, Sakae OKUBO (Mr.) *********************************************************** Waseda Research Center Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan (TAO) 5th Floor, Nishi-Waseda Bldg. 1-21-1 Nishi-Waseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-0051 Japan Tel: +81 3 5286 3830 Fax: +81 3 5287 7287 e-mail: okubo(a)giti.or.jp *********************************************************** From: Sebestyen Istvan ICN WN ES SP 4 <Istvan.Sebestyen(a)icn.siemens.de> To: 'garys(a)python.pictel.com', 'garys(a)pictel.com','tom.geary(a)rss.rockwell.com',"'jdale.skran(a)ascend.com'"< jdale.skran(a)ascend.com>,"'okubo(a)giti.or.jp'" <okubo(a)giti.or.jp>,"'gthom(a)delta-info.com'" <gthom(a)delta-info.com> Cc: "'toga(a)ideal.jf.intel.com'" <toga(a)ideal.jf.intel.com>,"'Deepak Kamlani'" <dkamlani(a)inventures.com>,"'Georgia Lund'"<georgia(a)inventures.com>,"'Bigi(a)itu.int'" <Bigi(a)itu.int>,"'mcollier(a)cwixmail.com'" <mcollier(a)cwixmail.com>,"'pierre-andre.probst(a)swisscom.com'" <pierre-andre.probst(a)swisscom.com>,"'georgeh(a)pictel.com'" <georgeh(a)pictel.com>,"'federico.tosco(a)cselt.it'"<federico.tosco(a)cselt.it> Subject: Joint Rapporteurs Group Meeting of the ITU-T/SG16/Q.11, Q.12, Q.13, Q.14, Q.15 hosted by IMTC Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 11:26:54 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Dear Friends, this message comes now in my capacity as IMTC BoD Member, who has been involved in organizing the hosting the ITU-T Joint Rapp. Meeting for SG16 Q.11-15. First of all, the IMTC is very pleased to organize this important event,and we are trying to make this event as successful as possible.We have been working hard on the organizational details together with some of the ITU-T Rapporteurs, the IMTC BoD members and of course the IMTC Secretariat, especially Georgia Lund, to have a smooth organization. Monterey in California is a great location, it even takes up with the in February snowy, rainy and foggy Geneva! For any additional details, questions, requests etc. please contact Georgia, the IMTC Secretariat or myself. I think, now everything should be under control and in a good shape,so the invitation E-Mail (with the Hotel Registration Form) should go out in order to have a smooth registration process. I would like to ask the appropriate Rapporteurs, especially Mr. Okubo /Skran to put the invitation message (probably as one of the first official documents of their meeting) out for the Q.12-14 folks ("APC Group"), then Mr. Geary from Q.11 to the Circuit Switched Group, and finally Mr. Sullivan to the Q.15Video group. Please note, that the document distribution / handling at the meeting will be electronic (i.e. people must bring their laptops along). Currently we have only central PCs as file servers, distribution will take place by diskettes. It would be nice to have a LAN solution in place, but that can not be provided by the IMTC. Any contribution, help from the ITU-T side is most welcome to improve the infrastucture. Similarly, we know that Q.15 will have their demo equipment in place,but as usual, Q.15 shall take care of getting, installing, operating, etc.of those. I have a final request to the Rapporteurs (I think the decision is in their hands): The IMTC has 145 members, some of them small companies who are normally directly not participating in ITU-T standardization. If possible,the IMTC would also like to invite its members to the ITU- T Rapp. meeting,to give each member the chance to get a better feeling for how the standardization is done, may be to contribute, and may be also give them the incentive to participate in future in the ITU-T standardization work, if they like it,and if they see benefits in it. Of course, they have to follow all the rules the Rapporteurs set up for running the meeting. I am sure that ITU-T will also benefit to get some fresh views from outside its normal participation.If we get the above permission we will invite the IMTC membership. I wish for all of us a successful organization, meeting and Marry X- mas+ Happy New Year!

Clarification in Call Hold and Call Park supplementary services
by Klaghofer Karl PN VS LP3 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

We propose the following additions to Draft H.450.4 and Draft H.450.5 in order to clarify the usage of the H.225.0 CallIdentifier and ConferenceIdentifier in conjunction with consultation calls (H.450.4) and parked calls (H.450.5). If there are no objections, the text below will be part of the whitepepers we have to submit latest by Dec. 19. Proposed clarification in Draft H.450.4 3 Terms and Definitions ..... Consultation; consultation call An H.323 call established while having another call(s) on hold. ...... 9.3 Interaction with H.225.0 parameters (new paragraph) The H.225.0 elements ConferenceIdentifier and CallIdentifier within a consultation call shall be set to values which are different from the corresponding values of the held call. Proposed clarification in Draft H.450.5 8.3 Interaction with H.225.0 parameters (new paragraph) The H.225.0 CallIdentifier value within a parked call shall be set to the CallIdentifier value that was used in the primary call. For all other SETUP messages carrying SS-PARK or SS-PICKUP related APDUs as defined within this recommendation, new CallIdentifier values shall be used. Note that the CallIdentifier value of the parked/alerting call is preserved during the SS-PARK / SS-PICKUP procedure within the H.450 APDUs. H.225.0 ConferenceIdentifier values are not preserved during the SS-PARK and SS-PICKUP procedures, i.e. new values are assigned for new SETUP messages as part of the SS-PARK and SS-PICKUP procedures.
