LS from TSAG on Improvement of the Author's Guide for drafting
by OKUBO Sakae 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Dear Editors, contributors and Rapporteurs, As noted at the Shenzhen meeting, the subject liaison statement from TSAG has now been issued as TD 342/Gen. Please follow this LS: Introduction The ITU-T has a long history of producing high quality Recommendations covering all aspects of telecommunications. To retain and reinforce the ITU-T's prominence in providing high quality interface specifications and related documentation, it is essential that this reputation for high quality be maintained. The Author's Guide for drafting ITU-T Recommendations has been revised and is now posted on the ITU-T web site at: http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/0A/0F/T0A0F0000040001MSWE.doc The previous version of this guide has been available for many years and has proven to be a useful and reliable reference to assist editors in preparing high quality draft Recommendations with a consistent structure, including a set of common elements that all Recommendations require and which should be provided in a common style, together with guidance on structuring the text in a coherent and consistent manner as work on the technical content progresses. In addition, corresponding revisions have been made to the ITU-T Recommendation skeleton template at: http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/0A/0F/T0A0F00000C0001MSWE.doc Action requested Study group management teams are requested to take note of the importance of maintaining the high level of quality of Recommendations and other deliverables that are prepared in their study groups and that are the basis for judging the effectiveness and value of the ITU-T. In particular, it is requested that editors of draft Recommendations and other deliverables be reminded that the guidelines posted as indicated above are an important basis for ensuring quality and consistency in the outputs of the ITU T, and that they are intended to be closely followed. Rapporteurs and editors are advised to, as far as possible begin development of each new Recommendation from the Recommendation skeleton template to help ensure consistency and quality. Revised Recommendations should generally take the opportunity to bring an existing Recommendation into conformance with the latest version of the Author's Guide. -- Best regards, OKUBO Sakae e-mail: okubo(a)aoni.waseda.jp Visiting Professor Global Information and Telecommunication Institute (GITI) Waseda University ****************************************************************** Waseda University, YRP Ichibankan 312 Tel: +81 46 847 5406 3-4 Hikarinooka, Yokosuka-shi, Kanagawa-ken Fax: +81 46 847 5413 239-0847 Japan H.323 videoconferencing: arranged by advice ******************************************************************

Super-wideband and full band hands-free terminals
by Patrick Luthi 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Dear experts, At the last Q.1 Experts meeting in Shenzhen, China, I was asked to make you aware of a liaison statement received from SG12 on ITU-T specifications on super-wideband and full band hands-free terminals and to solicit feedback from the mailing list. The LS says that SG 12 has considered preliminary requirements and test methods for superwideband hands-free terminals, basing the exercise on the extension of current Requirements for wideband (P.341). They solicit feedback from terminal manufacturers and encourage those who have practical experience in superwideband and full bandwidth terminal characteristics to contribute to this activity in Study Group 12. The full text of this liaison statement is available here: http://ftp3.itu.ch/av-arch/lbc-site/0703_Shenzhen/q1g16.doc Best regards, Patrick Luthi Rapporteur for Q.1

FW: ITU Website feedback (Recommendation H.450.4 cal hold supplementary service)

Dear all, for your consideration. Simão -----Original Message----- From: neil.seymour(a)selex-comms.com [mailto:neil.seymour@selex-comms.com] Sent: mercredi, 7. mars 2007 17:10 To: Sales, ITU; Sales, ITU Subject: [form2email] ITU Website feedback (recommendation H.450.4 cal hold supplementary service) Importance: High This mail has been sent from the ITU web site to sales(a)itu.int : Subject ITU Website feedback UserLanguage English MessageType Suggestion Name Neil Seymour Subject Recommendation H.450.4 cal hold supplementary service Comments I have some suggestions/corrections to submit regarding H.450.4. Perhaps you would be kind enough to forward this to the appropriate department as necessary? I\'ll start with a very minor suggestion: 1) It might be better to title section 11 as \"Dynamic description for call hold\" because sub-section 11.1.1 covers \"Near-end call hold\" and 11.1.2 covers \"Remote-end call hold\", thus section 11 covers both near-end and remote-end call hold. 2) If a new state called \"Hold_RE_Holding\" were introduced, this could simplify a state machine\'s implementation because it would prevent a held User retrieving the held call because the remoteRetrieve.req would then only be accepted when in the Hold_RE_Holding state. Thus only the served user would be able to retrieve the call. 3) Figure 18a refers to state Hold_RE_Held at the holding side and shows that if the served endpoint sends a remoteHold.req primitive then the state changes to Hold_RE_Retrieve_Req even though call retrieval has not been requested! I would have anticipated that the state would remain unchanged and so the state machine would still be waiting to receive a valid remoteRetrieve.req primitive. 4) Figure 18b in the central branch receives a remoteRetrieve.rr message. (This eventuality is already covered by the left hand branch.) It ought to say \"remoteRetrieve.re\" for a Return Error APDU. Yours faithfully, Neil Seymour

Shaping the direction of H.325
by Paul E. Jones 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Dear SG16 Experts, Over the past year, we have held a few meetings to discuss the development of a third-generation multimedia system (namely, H.325). I have been encouraged by the number of people who have either stated privately or publicly that, indeed, there is a need and point to reasons why something new needs to be considered as a replacement to the now 11 year old second-generation systems (H.323 and SIP). At the same time, there have been some who have maintained the position that we have already put a lot of investment into the existing second-generation systems and ask why we should change. Perhaps the simplest answer is that "technology never stops". A slow-down in research and development activities that aim to improve the way that we communicate effectively means that little progress will be made and we will not improve communication much beyond what the state of the art is today. Innovation should never slow down and, in fact, I do not think it will. However, innovating around the architectures and "baggage" of the second-generation systems is proving to be a challenge, in my opinion.

I am trying to collect all of the requirements that have been submitted thus far in a single document that will not be considered accepted or rejected, but will serve as a starting point for further discussion and elaboration. Having read through some of the material, I still believe that it is important to receive contributions that speak to these areas: * Why is it important to consider development of a third-generation multimedia system? * What are the business requirements that we need to consider as part of such an effort? * What problems are we trying to solve? * What modes of communication would we like to enable that are simply impossible or too costly due to constraints imposed by existing systems? Perhaps you can also think of other fundamental questions that are still not answered or not answered sufficiently. In any case, we have just a few days left before the document registration deadline, so I would like to request that if you have some ideas to share, please request a document number from Mr. Okubo and submit a contribution. Even if your company is not a member of the ITU, contributions are still welcome at this next meeting! Cheers! Paul

Shaping the direction of H.325
by Paul E. Jones 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Dear SG16 Experts, Over the past year, we have held a few meetings to discuss the development of a third-generation multimedia system (namely, H.325). I have been encouraged by the number of people who have either stated privately or publicly that, indeed, there is a need and point to reasons why something new needs to be considered as a replacement to the now 11 year old second-generation systems (H.323 and SIP). At the same time, there have been some who have maintained the position that we have already put a lot of investment into the existing second-generation systems and ask why we should change. Perhaps the simplest answer is that "technology never stops". A slow-down in research and development activities that aim to improve the way that we communicate effectively means that little progress will be made and we will not improve communication much beyond what the state of the art is today. Innovation should never slow down and, in fact, I do not think it will. However, innovating around the architectures and "baggage" of the second-generation systems is proving to be a challenge, in my opinion. The development, management, and operation of second-generation systems are becoming more expensive and, generally, only provide basic voice services are provided to end users. I am trying to collect all of the requirements that have been submitted thus far in a single document that will not be considered accepted or rejected, but will serve as a starting point for further discussion and elaboration. Having read through some of the material, I still believe that it is important to receive contributions that speak to these areas: * Why is it important to consider development of a third-generation multimedia system? * What are the business requirements that we need to consider as part of such an effort? * What problems are we trying to solve? * What modes of communication would we like to enable that are simply impossible or too costly due to constraints imposed by existing systems? Perhaps you can also think of other fundamental questions that are still not answered or not answered sufficiently. In any case, we have just a few days left before the document registration deadline, so I would like to request that if you have some ideas to share, please request a document number from Mr. Okubo and submit a contribution.
