[itu-sg16] Packetizer Forums Site Launched
by Paul E. Jones 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Folks, Last week, I sent an email to a fairly large number of people wherein I raised an issue: there seems to be a need for a place to go for people to ask questions about signaling protocols, implementation, deployment, and various issues related thereto in the area of videoconferencing. There are various mailing lists and such, but people are scattered all over with no "right place" to go to ask questions. I get a lot of questions directed my way, simply because people do not know where else to ask. We are hosting a number of public mailing lists on Packetizer, some lists are hosted by the IMTC, others at Columbia and Ohio State, etc. Perhaps some of those lists are perfect for engineers or those working on standards, but I've noted that end users, especially, have no place to ask questions. Also, there are lots of questions related to open source projects that get posted to various lists, only because those products happen to use a particular protocol, etc. So, I took a poll asking whether folks would prefer a web-based discussion forum, email list(s), or a "nothing else is needed". Over 50% of those who responded to the poll indicated that they would like to see a discussion forum for VoIP, videoconferencing, and data conferencing discussions. So in response, I set up this site: http://forums.packetizer.com. The structure might not be perfect and since I had to write the ATOM/RSS code myself over the weekend, I will not declare it to be bug free just yet. Nonetheless, the board is running a stable release of phpBB3 and ought to work well. I certainly welcome any comments you have and will try to improve the structure and operation as issues are raised. I do hope you find this useful and I would encourage people with expertise in a particular area to join. I will personally be answering questions, as I have for years, but there are certainly others with better qualifications to answer questions in some areas than me. If anyone is interested in a moderator role on the site, let me know. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me. Paul

Re: [itu-sg16] [h323forum] Discussion Forum or Mailing List for Videoconferencing
by Paul E. Jones 20 Aug '09

Bob, I think this only highlights the issue: there are several different lists that are used and those lists are not used for the purpose for which they were established. I see H.323 implementation questions on the H.323 Forum discussion list, for example. And I see equipment troubleshooting issues on the Megaconference list. Perhaps there's no way to avoid that problem, though. Even if I create a new list or a forum, people may have problems finding the resource in the first place. Still, it would be good if there was a "right place" to direct such questions, perhaps it would be beneficial to a wider audience. That's my hope, anyway. As of now, the poll seems to suggest that folks are pretty split on the issue. Unfortunately, though, not enough people cast a vote to really be statistically valid. It also suggest that interest is not high enough. (I had added the "Neither" to help me get a clear picture that folks are not interested. I would hope people use that if they think this is not needed.) I also had a discussion on two other options: . Employ a web forum with RSS feeds so folks do not have to visit the web site more frequently than necessary . Employ a Wiki where people could manage the site content themselves I'd be curious to see which of those people prefer.

[itu-sg16] Preparation for the upcoming Q2 and Q12 meetings
by Paul E. Jones 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Folks, The next SG16 meeting will be held 26 October - 6 November 2009. The meeting notice from the ITU can be found here: http://www.itu.int/md/T09-SG16-COL-0004/en Question 2 We have a number of documents in Q2 that are scheduled for consent and I'd really like to ensure we are successful in addressing any and all open issues so that we can successfully consent those documents. The work program for Q2 is shown at the top of this page: http://www.packetizer.com/ipmc/h323/doc_status.html The documents scheduled for consent include: . H.323v7 . H.225.0v7 . H.245v15 . H.460.geo (Transport of geographic information in H.323) . H.460.23 (NAT Determination) . H.460.24 (Point-to-Point Media Flows through NAT) Also on that page are links to all of the documents. I would strongly encourage those interested in any particular document to review the text in advance and prepare a contribution, if necessary, to address any concerns you might have. Of course, you're also welcome to discuss issues directly with me, the various editors, or with the whole group via this mailing list in advance of the meeting. My objective is to ensure that we are able to consent these texts without running into unforeseen obstacles. Question 12 As you know, the work in Question 12 is progressing, but we are not at a state where we have any documents to consider for consent. Nonetheless, there are a number of documents in progress. They are shown at the top of this page: http://www.packetizer.com/ipmc/h325/doc_status.html While the requirements may not be entirely finalized, I believe that they have sufficiently progressed to a point where we can start to talk about information flows. What I would like to see are contributions that speak to the following topics: . What information needs to be conveyed between applications and the Container . What information needs to be conveyed between the Container and the network . What the syntax might look like o We had previously agreed to use XML and possibly XML compression techniques o We ought to try to put this into a more concrete form, even if we might change things a few times until we're comfortable with what we have One of the things I've been looking at is how to ensure that we can properly design a system that supports versioning of messages in a way that is similar to the way other communication systems allow for the introduction of new information elements. The conclusion I reached was that XML Schema 1.0 is insufficient for our needs. What will work, though, is XML Schema 1.1, which earlier this year reached Candidate Recommendation status in the W3C. A really good overview of what's new in XML Schema 1.1 can be found here: http://www.xfront.com/xml-schema-1-1/xml-schema-1-1.ppt Of particular interest, of course, are the additions that relate to versioning. (I sent this link to the h325-design list last month, but I wanted to repeat it here for the benefit of others in WP2 who may not be aware of it. Plus, it has been revised numerous times and now includes a relatively short tutorial at the beginning for all of those who might not have the patience to read through a few hundred slides.) I look forward to seeing everyone in Geneva and hope we can make good progress in both Q2 and Q12 Kindest Regards, Paul E. Jones Rapporteur, Q2/16 and Q12/16 Cisco Systems, Inc.

[itu-sg16] Progressing work in Q2/16
by Paul E. Jones 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Q2/16 Experts, There are several draft documents that are scheduled for consent at the October/November 2009 meeting in Q2. They are: H.323v7, H.323 Annex I (use of new FEC procedures defined in the IETF), H.225.0v7, H.460.geo (transmission of geographic information in H.323), H.460.23 (NAT determination), and H.460.24 (point-to-point media flow through NAT). Pointers to the current editors' draft documents can be found here: http://www.packetizer.com/ipmc/h323/doc_status.html I would like to kindly request that you give these documents a thorough review and do one of two things: 1) Submit a contribution to the next SG16 meeting proposing changes to these texts 2) Provide your comments via the list or directly to the editor; the editor will address any minor editorial issues in the text and prepare a contribution for technical changes (if necessary) I want to keep these documents on schedule, so your input and comments would be very helpful. Of course, if you have any questions or comments, I am more than happy to provide input. Thanks, Paul E. Jones Rapporteur, ITU-T Q2/16

If problems are encountered for ITU members, the ITU can, at the official request of the administration or company you represent, approach the competent Swiss authorities in order to facilitate delivery of the visa. Visa requests should be made by official letter from the administration or company you represent. This letter must specify your name and function, date of birth, passport number as well as the date of issue and expiry. The letter must be accompanied by a photocopy of your passport and a copy of the completed pre-registration form and must be sent to TSB, bearing the words "visa request", by fax (No.: +41 22 730 5853) or e-mail (tsbreg(a)itu.int) Please note that ITU needs at least one week to process all papers required for the delivery of a visa. 7.

Hotels offering preferential room rates for participants of ITU meetings, instructions and the form are found at: <http://www.itu.int/travel/>. Note: the closest business-class hotel to the ITU buildings is the Intercontinental, and a more popular strategy is to obtain hotel accommodations downtown, e.g., near the Cornavin train & bus station (which is more centrally located than the ITU or the Intercontinental), from which buses run frequently to the vicinity of the ITU. Not all hotels are equipped with high-speed internet access, so participants may want to check with the hotel for the availability of this service. We are looking forward to meeting with you in Geneva.

Sincerely yours, Patrick Luthi

[itu-sg16] FW: Technology Watch report - Distributed Computing: Utilities, Grids and Clouds

Dear all, for your information and peruse. Any feedback can be provided directly to tsbtechwatch(a)itu.int. Best regards, Simao ________________________________ From: owner-tsagtechwatch(a)itu.int [mailto:owner-tsagtechwatch@itu.int] On Behalf Of Martin.Adolph(a)itu.int Sent: 07 April 2009 10:59 To: tsagtechwatch, ITU (MLIST) Cc: Levin, Arthur Subject: Technology Watch report - Distributed Computing: Utilities, Grids and Clouds Dear colleagues, A new Technology Watch <http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/techwatch/> report examines Distributed Computing: Utilities, Grids and Clouds. A key conclusion is that increased focus on standards for interfaces will enable commoditization of clouds and grids and ensure interoperability. Expanding communication networks, combined with the growth of affordable broadband in developed countries, has enabled organizations to share their computational resources. What originally started as grid computing, temporarily using remote supercomputers or clusters of mainframes to address scientific problems too large or too complex to be solved on in-house infrastructures, has evolved into service-oriented business models that offer physical and virtual resources on a pay as you go basis - as an alternative to often idle, in-house data centers and stringent license agreements. The report describes the advent of these new forms of distributed computing, notably grid and cloud computing, the applications that they enable, and their potential impact on future standardization. Distributed Computing: Utilities, Grids and Clouds is available to download at http://www.itu.int/oth/T2301000009/en. Please send your comments, topic proposals and inquiries to tsbtechwatch(a)itu.int. Best regards, Martin Adolph ITU-T Standardization Policy Division ______________________________________________________________ P Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
