by simao.campos＠itu.int 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Dear all, This is to remind you of the deadline to request the Invitation letter from the host (if necessary for visa) is Friday 17 June 2011. It is explicitly mentioned in the circular 193 (http://www.itu.int/md/T09-TSB-CIR-0193/en ) Annex 2. After this deadline, the host cannot accept your request. I have been made aware that: - The Brazilian Consulates in Japan do not require an invitation letter from the Brazilian host. - In China the Brazilian Consulate requests the original letter, notarized and stamped by the host (Please note that this takes time) - In US they request a simple invitation letter Best regards, Simao

I would like to invite IoT experts to join this discussion. TSB has prepared the e-mail reflector (iotdefiniton(a)lists.itu.int) for this discussion. (To subscribe this e-mail reflector, please visit http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/services/ ) You are also encouraged to review the result of the meeting. The last IoT-GSI meeting produced some candidate definitions for IoT as appeared in TD27 and TD29 of IoT-GSI. (can be found at http://ifa.itu.int/t/2009/iot-gsi/docs/1105/TD/ ) The following definition (#3 of TD27) gains supports, but we are still debating on some fundamental points. ----------- A global ICT infrastructure enabling automated progression of actions (not necessarily explicitly intervened by human being) facilitating assembly of the knowledge, and contributing to enrich human life by interconnecting physical and virtual objects [including sensors, devices and machines] through the exploitation of data capture and communication capabilities supported by existing and evolving telecommunication developments. ------------ The issues we debated at the last meeting were; - Conceptual definition or technically accurate definition? - Short definition or long (and detailed) definition? - Network (or infrastructure) or service (or application)? Please do not hesitate to make your comments. Best regards,

T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxx!Huawei_measurement_data_section _review with modifications - There were many modifications and additions, several suggested as documented in Phil’s emails. The results are changes to newly numbered Tables 1, 2 and 3. - We should consider a location change event - We agreed to use the terminology “user information” instead of “user profile”, and “user device information” instead of “system environment”. Changes to be made throughout document. - Table 3 summary – AMFsource deleted, receiver config need to add specifics, AV service capability deleted, user status deleted, user viewing history deleted, userIDconf value is out of scope - Add Note: Last remote button push may be a useful element - Table 5 summary – Rename Element as Event, remove support column 3 – We discussed and accepted T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxx!Huawei_Config_package_examples & T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0aaa!!MSW-E[1]Revised AM0 example v2 with modifications - Add element “Event” in table Measurement schedule metadata for "Measurement request" - Since we remove EventList also remove SampList and add element “Sample” in table Measurement schedule metadata for "Measurement request" - We agreed to use the 59th second in end time examples - We need to add descriptive text with examples - We need to explain defaults for samples - There was much discussion regarding the choice of time format, xs:time was proposed in the contribution, other fixed suggestions were UTC or GMT. We accepted xs:time for now, and agreed to add a note to confirm this before consent. - The description of the abnormal case modified should be “Audience measurement function misses the reporting time point in a delayed reporting configuration”. - Add Editor’s note: There may be an issue if many STBs wake-up having stored measurements that need to be sent immediately - MeasurementScheduleItem is an Element of MeasurementScheduleList. Container for time period for measurement - MeasurementRequestSet is an Element of MeasurementRequestSection. Container for an individual measurement request set. - MeasurementRequest element to be added. Container.

To be determined by context in measurement request. - New Issue: We should say something about the requirement for non-volatile storage for TD-AMF - New Issue: We should say something about the minimum TD-AMF storage required to support profile 0. Vishwas volunteered to look into this. - T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxx!Huawei_AM_request_set - Proposal 1 – accepted with modifications below - indicate that multiple AMF request sets may be present in a configuration package - Proposal 2 – we should include a list of delivery periods instead - Proposal 3 - time format of 12am and all other representation of time in AM recommendations should use standard time format instead - Proposal 4 - accepted - T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxx!Huawei_config_package - Accepted with modifications below - add of “effectivity time” element with “immediate” as default - add “list of AMF request sets” element - rename AM to AMF in multiple places - New Issue: what happens to stored data when new configuration becomes effective? - New Issue: Management in general needs to be considered broadly, both for the management of normal operations and for abnormal situations - T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxx!Huawei_user_permission - Accepted with following modifications - Add list of services element - Add list of device type ID - Modify name to UserPermissionLevel - T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xyz!!MSW-E[1] (reference points) - Should we include sources of measurement data (“B” reference points)? This would provide a check on whether specified metadata is available, and inform implementers where to get specified metadata. We agreed that this would be helpful information, and that we should work on this after initial consent. - Phil will submit a modified contribution. - T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxy!!MSW-E[1]v2 (requirements) and T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xxy!!CISCO_requirements_v2_Xian - Christian has partially reviewed Phil’s v2 contribution, Phil to review comments, Christian to complete review of contribution. Christian’s review is a very good format for commenting. All are encouraged to use for feedback. - Post Pune AM1 V1_Huawei_cleaning - Rather than use conference call time for individual comments, please review and provide comments on whole contribution by email. Will address during next conference call. - Regarding the need for sampling – per Phil’s email regarding the need for sampling for “checkpointing” in order to not lose data due to device “power-down” or “sleep-mode” – it seems that sampling is needed, unless we can devise other mechanisms – further input is requested. If sampling is to be supported we need to add one or more elements. Christian to update contributions, Phil to integrate into AM0. The revised AM0 version 5 is attached. During editing some new issues became apparent so notes were added and further minor modifications were made to the contributions. Also a couple of formatting issues crept in which will be resolved in a future revision.

We reviewed and discussed T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0zzz!MRandUP_structuresR2 - This helps map metadata across AM0 and AM1 and proposes metadata clauses structure for AM1 - It introduces the new concept of a common group of metadata within a configuration package, that applies to all included measurement requests - It introduces the new concept that user profile and device configuration may be thought of as “user profile service” and “device configuration service” - It is accepted with selected parts to be integrated into a new AM0 appendix. We reviewed and discussed T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0yyy!!AM_request_metadata. This has been further developed since the clause was proposed before Pune, the main points discussed were as follows: - It is not yet agreed whether ServiceTypeID can be 1 or more, each service will be given an integer value, each service must be clearly defined, e.g. Does Linear service include trick-mode? - “ToBeMeasured” is a misleading term, maybe something like serviceQualifiers would be clearer - “ToBeReported” includes service independent events so the note should change - “Measurementschedulelist” = 1 - Add note to indicate the higher integers indicate higher priority - Delivery address – may be useful to send to multiple addresses for multiple purposes, this could be used as an update to the destination after the original address was initially found using discovery process. New issue: can an URL define all security and transport protocols? - Delivery “eventlist” not needed since any measured event will trigger delivery if EventTrigger is set. - random number parameter is not needed to be sent to STBs as a seed, the STB should use an internal seed to randomize the delivery time around the specified periodicity - RequestId can serve the same purpose as the previously proposed missionID, therefore missionID(s) no longer need to be sent to AMFs. - New issue: we need to consider if multiple delivery periods are needed. - New topic – should we support use case where delivery period is not the same as measurement period? Yes. It seems that existing use of metadata supports this. Has storage and offline STB implications - New Issue – how should the impacts of “offline” STBs be handled? Introduction of an intermediate database was discussed. Not resolved. - other editorial changes Please email this group if there are mis-statements or omissions above Christian will revise these two contributions then Phil will check and integrate into a revised AM0 version (3) and distribute.

Mr Miao sent his regrets. We discussed/decided the following: 1 - The published meeting time for China was incorrect. We will poll group members to see if a 3 hour meeting starting 1 hour earlier would be OK. That is 8am USA, 2pm Geneva, 9pm China/Singapore. 2 - 1a – Pune output document – - Christian explained the rationale for the changes was to move both informative text and text that was not ready for the main body to appendices. The text that was not ready would be moved to the body when ready. The document was accepted as the new base AM0 document, many further contributions needed 3 - 1b- T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0498!!Huawei_AM0_user_permissionsR1 accepted “as is” for integration into base, as clause 12.1.2.3. Associated text needs to be modified/added. 4 - 1c – Discussions of C500 and C501 were deferred, they will be resubmitted. C502 is already in the base document appendix. C503 has been superseded with the exception of the configuration package metadata which will be resubmitted. C521 was accepted as the new base AM1 document, many further contributions needed. C520 was accepted with the addition of a note regarding the following two issues. 5 - issue – Regarding the situation with multiple services in a single measurement request (or multiple measurement requests), will this result in duplicate information being reported? 6 - issue – Regarding specifying measurement by specific content, e.g. a show. If many (thousands) of shows are listed to be measured, then the complexity and processing requirements may increase beyond what a STB with AM software may support. If this is a retail STB, then it may not be clear to the SP what its capabilities are. (Maybe published profiles will help identify the STB capabilities to an SP) 7 - issue list – to track issues we will generate and use an issue list, the figure from C520 Figure VI-4.1e will be included with the above issues. 8 - 2a – There is a 4th option, which is to delete material without saving it in a holding document 9 - 2a and 2b - Rather than set a predetermined strategy for AM0 and AM1, we will just use contributions 10 – 3a - We accepted the revised scope to match Pune discussions per email discussions 11 – 3b - We accepted the revised emailed A1 description after deleting the first point and removing the word “federated”. 12 – next meeting we will continue discussions starting with items 3d, 3c, 3e and 3f Please email this group if there are mis-statements or omissions above. Attached is “Post Pune AM0 v1” which includes the agreed changes above, the “Post Pune AM1 v0” base document and issues list will follow. The next meeting will be on Thursday 20 Jan, at a time at be confirmed.

These two documents are expected to be posted on the ITU-T site with the minor modification of a new TD number for the revised AM0. 2 – It is proposed to use the attached Pune version of AM0 as the basis for further work. Please review this document fully. 3 - Regarding a liaison received from DTG, their AM solution was due to be published 5 Jan. The latest version available to DTG members on DTG’s site today is DTG D-Book 7 Part B 0.6, DTG AM is described in clause 8. 4 – Regarding the organization of AM0, It was suggested that the body of AM0 should focus on the a1 interface, and should only include descriptions of concepts, and supporting text to fully describe communications across a1. Specifically there is a missing specification and examples of measurement responses which should be included in AM0. 5 – Regarding organization of AM0, there was discussion regarding if requirements should be moved to an Annex in order to keep the focus in the main body on the solution. 6 - We reviewed T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0498 and agreed on some modifications. One remaining question is whether the flow chart should include SP connection and User disconnect arrows. 0498 will be integrated in AM0 after agreeing on this point, and review of AM0. 7 – There was discussion of reporting/non-reporting of the special case when a user switches from allowed measurement service to an un-allowed measurement service. For example, a linear channel change from an allowed measurement channel to an un-allowed measurement channel. The question is whether a report should be made to report this change. 8 – The flow in 0498 includes a user login, which leads to that single user’s permissions being used. The broader question of what permissions to use when multiple users simultaneously watch a shared TV was asked. AM0 currently says that the most restrictive permission of users watching should be used, but this topic needs further discussion. [Note: when 0498 is integrated, there will be associated text that needs to be added in at least two clauses, 1 - informative, guidance for when an SP should use this method compared to the other two permission methods, and 2 - normative, in the description of reference points.] Until the next meeting, please a- review the attached AM0 b- review the other Pune contributions. c- consider the unresolved points above d- email this list with your suggestions and further contributions Please correct or add to anything substantial that I either mis-stated or missed.

The results are following: 1 - modify the proposal from christian from all AMF to TD-AMF and aggregation functions as follows: "This proposal aims at illustrating how the AM user permissions are used by TD-AMF and aggregation functions." 2 - about the proposed Figure2, it was agreed to generate another solution which is to generate a message after User login from IPTV SP to AM SP to provide UserID and AM user permissions. TO remove the AM config package request. This request push mechanism between IPTV SP and AM SP. 3 - Reference points B1 and B2 are the interface to User database. We have to identify what is the really need by AM Aggregation functions. E.G. age, location, gender, etc. When we know that, we should defined a unique enter point for exchange between Aggregation functions and All other IPTV functions. This is a suggestion. we should make clear description on B1 and B2 - how to obtian User profile from serive User profile FB and Application profile FB. There is not more comments for AM.0 v7.1 which is the lastest change. And the document which integrated all modification based on the last Singapore meeting TD will be issued before Pune meeting as the CC's draft recommendation and a meeting report will be attached. And Mr.Christian, please add something if I missed or there is error. Thanks and Best Regards! Miao ZTE This meeting was attended by Christian, Mr Miao and Phil Since the November 11th,, the accepted changes were integrated into version 6. Several documents were produced for further discussion. A revision of the introductory diagram for Aggregation functions configuration was documented (see « About the harmonise modification » attachment) and discussed. 1 – We agreed to accept the new drawing with modifications as follows : 2 - Modify lables « Measurement metadata » to « Measurement data » and Measurement report decompose » to « Measurement report » 3 – We agreed to add a description under the figure with examples. 4 – We noted that Supplementary IPTV data relates to figure 1’s « Other IPTV functions ». This might include for example, the actual name of a channel instead of channelId. 5 - We noted that in figure 1, there are two instances of « Other IPTV functions » which may not be identical, and need to have some description added. 6 – Regarding the accompanying text, we agreed that instead of a single defintiion of « configuration package », we need two definitions, one should be generic for « configuration package », the second should be specific to « AMF configuration package » 7 – We noted that the new figure is related to the outstanding topic of permissions that needs to be resolved. A revision of the introductory diagram for AMF configuration was documented (see « About the AMF architecture » attachment) and discussed. 1- We agreed that the third figure needs to be modified as follows, approved then should replace the existing figure 2- Remove the Transmission Timing Configuration Function Block 3- Show 1 green arrow from AM Data Delivery Functions to Configuration Package Process Functions 4- Show 1 green arrow from CPPF to AM Data delivery and one to Application Event Handling Functions 5- Add a new optional function in the path of green Local permission configuration arrow named « Permission Acquisition Function » 6- Add a description of the figure under the figure. 7- We noted that the internal partitioning of AMF and Aggregation functions is provided as an example, implementations may differ in their partition of functions and still be compliant to the reccomendation. A sentence regarding this should be added to aggregation functions and AMF clauses. Configuration object figures and new permissions method were documented (see « AMF Configuration Objects » attachment) and discussed 1 – Christian described the slide “IPTV Operation mode with AM » which is a new proposed method of configuring TD-AMFs in real-time based upon user identification. (This is Phil’s way of summarising it, Christian please correct if mis-stated) 2 – This proposed method has similarities to the « configuration » method (per clause 6.5.2.1), we need to discuss further, it may be a third permission method option. 3 – The three configuration object figures were not discussed. Phil proposed via email, an approach for « Support for Network Functions Audience Measurement Functions (NF-AMF) » by email, this was not discussed in the meeting. However during email discussions an important aspect was raised which may impact AM broadly, and needs further discussion. Which is the relationship between one or more IPTV SPs, Network providers, and Measurement providers. We discussed preparations for the Pune meeting. 1- The version of AM0 which includes the agreed changes will be the output document from the conference call meetings. 2- A document regarding meeting notes will be generated with Phil listed as acting chairman. 3- Individual company contributions regarding permissions and configuration examples are expected. 4- During email discussions, we raise the question of being ready for consent in March and if we should limit detailed work on AMFs to TD-AMF, or to a sub-set of AMFs, and if so then how to handle the other AMFs in the docuument. We did not discuss this in the phone conference meeting. This is an open question. Mr. Miao, Christian, please correct or add to anything substantial that I either mis-stated or missed. We will continue email discussions and have the next conference call on Thursday 25th Nov (which is Thanksgiving holiday in USA – Phil will likely not attend) https://www1.gotomeeting.com/join/536391448 Meeting Password: q13iptv Meeting ID: 536-391-448 3pm Geneva time Regards Phil From: Philip Jacobs (phjacobs) Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 2:08 PM To: Philip Jacobs (phjacobs); 'Xian Bertin'; 'miao.chuanyang(a)zte.com.cn'; 'zhangchuxiong(a)huawei.com' Cc: 'bubble(a)etri.re.kr'; 'lij1024(a)etri.re.kr'; 'Masahito Kawamori'; 'myhuh(a)etri.re.kr'; 'ohky(a)tta.or.kr'; 'sg9and16-iptv(a)lists.itu.int'; 'sgkang(a)etri.re.kr'; 'Hideki Yamamoto' Subject: Summary Notes of AM conf call for 11 Nov 2010 This meeting was attended by Mr Miao and Phil We discussion Mr. Miao’s figure to introduce configuration, showing orders and management input and how configuration packages are delivered to AMFs. 1 – We agreed to harmonise terms with other diagrams 2 – We agreed that more discussion was needed about inputs to the permissions block, pending discussion of the whole permissions topic. 3 – we agreed to split Data delivery functions into sender and receiver function blocks and add descriptions After modification the figure and text should be integrated into the combined contribution. We discussed figure 1 in draft v4 and agreed to move the dotted line of scope to align with the left side of the aggregation functions box (and also to similarly modify all other similar drawings). We discussed adding a figure to the introduction of AMF configuration similar to Mr Miao’s figure above for Aggregation functions. 1) We agreed to add an AMF configuration figure as attached. 2) We agreed that we should indicate which kinds of configuration information go to which functional blocks. 3) We agreed that the association between configuration information and functional blocks should also be included in the text. We discussed the need to review all blocks to determine which ones should be considered as “optional”. Given our workload we should then focus on the mandatory blocks. We discussed Phil’s T09-IPTV.GSI-C-0xx9!!MSW-E[1] contribution 1 – We agreed that we need a figure for AMF configuration objects, but that we do not have a good one yet, this is also pending discussion of the whole permissions topic. 2 – We agreed that the harmonization changes in naming metadata are OK 3 – We agreed that the targeting by content class text is OK for now – however we should consider that several metadata will all have ID and type associated with them, and it would be better to have a single place where this is described. 4 – We agreed that the 2 RequestDriven parameters are OK to add for now – however we should consider whether the null report idea is useful We discussed the “requirements for AMF table” 1 – We agreed that some requirements need revising now that we are considering 5 different AMFs. It is clear that it is not possible to support some existing requirements 2 – It seems that user profile storage should apply to SC-AMF 3 – It seems that “Sample usage of interactive services” is a missing requirement (to help answer questions such as “how many hours a day do users use the guide or play a game?” ) 4 - It seems that “Ask for permission, store response, report status“ should apply to TD-AMF and maybe HG-AMF, but not NF-AMF, DC-AMF and CD-AMF 5 – We agreed that a consolidated table of AMF requirements would be better than the distributed and inconsistent list of requirements currently in AM0 This table needs further consideration. Marked up version attached. We further discussed if service specific details should be included in AM0, agreed that for the “filter and summarization” configuration clause, 1 – Since the only detail is for linear (channel surfing) – we should replace the linear detail with an explanation that details are service specific and can be found in AM1. Mr Miao volunteered to modify the figures 3, 13 (which needs new Home Network reference point A5), and VI of v4, and to add his new configuration overview figure and text, to create a new v5. Phil volunteered to subsequently modify v5 to v6 with the other agreed to changes listed above. Mr. Miao, please correct or add to anything substantial that I either mis-stated or missed.

We should rename PMES but did not discuss this yet. 2 – We agreed to move services first in the examples 3- We have yet to agree on whether multiple services should be included in a single « measurement request » or if they must each have their own. 4 – The linear term allChannels is not an integer like channelID, we agreed to use -1 to indicate all channels should be measured. (pending further analysis) 5 – We agreed that examples in AM0 should contain only high level references to service specific measurements. We should complete a representative set of examples in order to work out the issues, but the complex service specific exmaples should be included only in AM1. 6 – We agreed to add the keyword ServicesToBeMeasured in the examples (pending item 3) 7 – we agreed that all available contentIDs will be reported when contentID is requested. Program name is not a contentID but may be used as a proxy. We have no solution yet for conditional reporting for examples such as no contentID available so report programID. 8 – Should we be able to specify which type of contentID is to be reported ? unresolved. 9 – There may be optimisations that we can use e.g. for long lists, we agreed to will table them for later. 10 – How should we handle non-terminal EUMFs which may not have channelID but only multicast address ? 11 – We agreed that we need the equivalent of Christian’s new configuration metadata for AM1 12 – We agreed to add a note regarding State & Use plus AV Service Capability elemets to indicate that we need a better definition or we should delete. 13 - We did not come to a conclusion regarding if we can ask for one element to be measured and expect multiple data to be reported e.g. asking for device configuration which returms many data 14 – We agreed that an end user changing terminal configuration is to be considered an event to be measured. An example should show this with time period based reporting. We did not have time to discuss Phl’s revised configuration examples or configuration object drawing. We agreed to pursue renaming of the term EUMF. We have 2 more weeks to make contributions to the combined Pune contribution, on 25th November we will review the proposed contribution for submission by 30 November. If you were not able to make this call, please consider if you can help for the next 2 weeks. Specifically we need more contributions on non-terminal EUMFs, and metadata.

The discussion that ensued was very helpful. 1- We agreed that this is going in the right direction and should be added as a new clause 2- There is some misalignment with the EUMF configuration clause, we need better explanation in the EUMF configuration clause regarding objects. 3- This new clause will be modified to track the EUMF configuration clause, and expanded to cover more config metadata. We discussed supporting measurement by specifying content type, user type, event type and/or user context. The main points were 1- Adding methods of specifying measurements could increase STB resource requirements, but could reduce the BW required to transmit measurements to aggregation functions 2- It may be better to measure and report more (using BW) than required, and have the aggregation functions filter out un-necessary data . 3- If both techniques are available to SPs, then this is an implementation choice. Conclusion: Further consider the implications of these methods and add if technically supportable. Phil presented one simple configuration example for a “sampled linear” scenario, but had to leave the call before discussion, Christian’s proposal will lead to some modifications of the examples. The second example was not reviewed. More examples are needed. We did not get to discuss Christian’s proposal regarding terminology. Please consider progressing the above work, plus the work on missions, during the coming week, in preparation for discussion at next week’s conference call. As usual, please respond if there are substantial errors or omissions in this summary.

For example, if too much STB processing is required to examine a list of content to see if the current content should be measured, then instead, the aggregation functions could 1 – look up times when the linear content of interest is scheduled, and simply request time-bound measurements 2 – Select by content type e.g. genre which may be easier for STBs to recognize than contentID 3 – maybe use non-STB EUMFs 4 – other techniques I suggest that we add some text regarding this function into the aggregation functions, plus put some examples into the appendix for implementation considerations. For more powerful STBs or Gateways, should we include any of the option(s) to support measurement (and permission) as specified by a) content type (e.g. children’s TV, adult TV, religious, political, all “CSI” programs, all Disney programs, etc), b) user type (e.g. child under 13, adult, etc.) c) event type (e.g. channel change, record, etc.) d) user context (e.g. at work, location, etc.) Best Regards Phil From: Xian Bertin [mailto:Xian.bertin@huawei.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 4:04 AM To: Philip Jacobs (phjacobs); miao.chuanyang(a)zte.com.cn; zhangchuxiong(a)huawei.com Cc: bubble(a)etri.re.kr; lij1024(a)etri.re.kr; 'Masahito Kawamori'; myhuh(a)etri.re.kr; ohky(a)tta.or.kr; sg9and16-iptv(a)lists.itu.int; sgkang(a)etri.re.kr; 'Hideki Yamamoto' Subject: RE: Summary Notes of AM conf call for 21 Oct 2010 Dear Phil, My comments below. My major point is this one: we should not necessarily forward content provider AM orders to EUMF. What could be an order from a content provider: AM for a specific content viewed by any service (LinearTV, VoD, PVR) could be translated/included in LinearTV AM for any content, VoD for any content, PVR for any content orders for EUMF configuration. STBs have limited CPU power and memory more dedicated to services visible to end users than to unvisible functions like AM. It seems to me unrealistic to configure EUMF AM for each individual ContentId (in terms of dedicated configuration memory and CPU process, but however this information could be generated by the aggregation function from more general AM requests such as the one listed above. See other comments below.

(Ignoring the contentIdType here). 1- If separate, when contentID is specified and serviceId’s are specified, then a program e.g. “CSI Miami” would be measured whenever it was seen across any specified serviceID e.g. any linear channel, DVR, or VoD . Christian: This looks more like a content provider order not necessarily to be forwarded identically included in an EUMF configuration order, as explained above. 2- If separate, when contentID is not specified and serviceId is also specified, then measurements are not driven by contentIDs 3- If contentID is a parameter of serviceId, e.g. Linear (CSI-Miami), then measurements would be specific to content on a particular service. All serviceId’s that need measurement would need to have “CSI-Miami” as a parameter. Christian: This seems to me unrealistic. If such an order would be possible, I think that we will end up with at least two AM profiles (basic profile where this is not allowed and a full profile where this will be allowed) 4- If contentID is a parameter associated with another parameter, e.g. Linear (channel 56, csi-miami), Linear (channel 57, csi-miami) etc then the contentID may need to be replicated many times. The trade-off appears to be size and readability of the configuration vs. possibly measuring and reporting of the content of interest on services where the service/content combination is not required. Unless there is an objection, can we say that a specified program of interest will be measured across all specified serviceIDs? i.e. #1 above. What do you think?

The example of per user permissions is documented, but it was pointed out that control function EUMF would not know about contentId. We need to decide where to document the differences in EUMF capabilities. Maybe in config, or appendix or both. 5 – The use case for end-users asserting permissions among their devices was discussed due to the added complexity of supporting sets of permitted devices. Further discussion is needed. We unfortunately did not have time to discuss the contribution from Christian and Aaron, « Metadata elements for EUMF configuration". We agreed to email regarding this during the week and will start with this next week. Mr. Miao volunteered to work on the 12.1.1 diagram, Phil volunteered to work on the configuration appendix.

It also shows information intended for aggregation functions (which are not shown) 1b – the terminology in the diagram does not exactly match that used in AM0. 1c – the action resulting from this discussion, is that a simplified diagram should be included in the introduction to the aggregation functions, each aggregation block should include appropriate inputs, plus a detailed information flow should be created for an appendix. The terminology used will be made consistent. 1d – the mission ID# is key to routing messages, it will need to be taken into account in EUMF configuration. We discussed 2 – Configuration examples and issues raised 2a – Reference is made to AM1 metadata and events, we agreed that this is OK if the reference is brief, any details should be kept in AM1. 2b – All examples will be moved to a new appendix. 2c - addition description should be added as necessary to each configuration section 2d – configuration syntax and metadata parameters need checking 2e – request driven reporting needs more text 2f – storage priority needs more text 2g – now we see the configuration, it may be better to re-factor the metadata tables in AM0 to classify them by configuration metadata and report metadata. 2h – contentID metadata description in AM0 needs to match AM1 2i – eventId metadata description needs to be expanded to reflect both sampled and event times. 2j – EUMF configuration in network, control and content delivery are missing – we will work on network EUMF for now. Maybe Control and content delivery EUMF will be for future study – needs more discussion. 2k – missing configuration to cover functions listed in AM0 need to be added. We agreed to generate a single contribution for Pune which would include this conference call group’s work. Further contributions outside of these are of course welcomed. The ITU-T posted version of AM0 from Singapore appears to be in Word2007, and presents difficulties to be read, we will ask for a word2003 version to be posted. For next week, Christian and Phil will work on configuration, Mr Miao will work on Mission/directives/ID/addressing/recombination and start editing the AM0 contribution. Christian, Mr Miao, please review the above summary, and add/modify any missing or incorrect points. The next call will be on Thursday.

If we take one situation at a time, and start with network function based EUMF. There appears to be two main elements of a solution A – The identity of the end-user traffic must be identifiable to the network EUMF. Given a subscriber ID, a mapping function to current IP address could be used by the network EUMF. Questions regarding such a subscriber ID or User ID need addressing. B – The end-user permission must be associable to that traffic in the network EUMF A “white-list” of subscribers or users permitting (within certain parameters) measurement is created and loaded into network functions, which consult the white-list before measurements occur. Questions regarding which network functions are sent which “white-list” need to be addressed (is there an existing IPTV function which can be consulted to map subscribers to network EUMFs?)

If you go back in the draft Rec; and stop at the boundary of the IPTV AM system with just orders, this would be fine. But for the output I think that "report" is not the only solution to communicate "audience data" to the outside world, alternatives to be considered as well could be to offer an SQL interface or a web solution. I think that we have enough work to focus on with the specification of the relations between aggregation functions and all measurement functions inside the IPTV domain, if we want to have a meaningful draft Rec. on AM by March 2011 for consent.

As we have been discussing for a long time, we are agreed that first step and last step in AM system is only needed to concern 1) to input order which is able to be read by AM system and 2) output the report to a destination which could be out of IPTV systme or internal use. Thus, AM system itself would not care about what the requester role it is and what report receiver role it is. i.e, AM doesn't care if it is disney or Nielsen send the order and how the report will be further processed.The only thing AM needs to concern is to allocate a ID for them in order to arrange AM implementation and indicates where the report should go. But I agree with that if we are talking the whole ecosphere of AM, it is strange not to show them on the figure. But descirption is sufficient, detailed standardization work is not necessary. So we can draw such a kind of function blocks and give them a term which are wildly used in ITU-T. and those should be remained in introduction sections. Best regrads. Miao Dear Phil, Thank you for the clarification about Nielsen. You are right, Nielsen is not a Content Provider, it is a kind of second level AM aggegater (aggregation of AM from different AV Content delivery platforms), so this is clearly another function than content provider, so they should not be put in the same box. Nielsen provides a service which is not an IPTV service. We can not use the simple term "service provider" for Nielsen as it means in ITU-T implicitly "IPTV Service provider". If we want to illustrate the or an AM architecture behind the Aggregation function (although this is out of scope), we have to show explicitly Content Providers, as the main interest to have AM is for Content Providers. It would be strange not to see them on the figure. If there are sometimes/potentially other players/roles/functions in between the "Content Providers" and the "IPTV AM aggregation function" they should identified and appear explicitly as specific blocks outsite the "Content Providers" block.

Since these companies provide statistical, ratings and other services, we may include them as service providers. However it seems inappropriate to classify them as content providers. Therefore we should not replace “stakeholder” by “Content Provider” alone, we could replace “stakeholder” with “Content and Service providers” if there is an objection to the term “stakeholder” which includes these 2 providers. Any further thoughts on this? We can also discuss your other points on this Thursday’s call, along with the two other discussion documents.

Concerning "service providers", if sometimes we hear that they may provide also their own contents, this should be rephrased as follows: a company may play two or more roles, e.g.: a content provider role and a service provider role but we should not mixed the two roles. Service provider is not a content provider but a company can run both businesses. - to align Figure 1 with the other architecture figure showing interfaces C2 and C3, we should have an arrow between Content Provider and Aggregation function to show the C2 interface or we have to explain why an identified interface has disappeared from an example of function distribution. In addition to this, my comments inline in the below report Best regards, Christian ________________________________ De : Philip Jacobs (phjacobs) [mailto:phjacobs@cisco.com] Envoyé : vendredi 8 octobre 2010 00:10 À : miao.chuanyang(a)zte.com.cn; Hideki Yamamoto; Masahito Kawamori Cc : bubble(a)etri.re.kr; lij1024(a)etri.re.kr; myhuh(a)etri.re.kr; ohky(a)tta.or.kr; sgkang(a)etri.re.kr; sg9and16-iptv(a)lists.itu.int; Xian.bertin(a)huawei.com Objet : Summary report of Audience measurement conf call discussion 7 Oct 2010 Mssrs. Christian, Miao and Phil attended this conf call. There were three items for consideration 1 - Christian – Scope of AM0 as it pertains to c2 and c3 reference points 2 - Miao – consideration of mission/directives/data requests 3 - Phil – configuration examples During the week, AM0 and AM1 excerpts were created and posted (as 375 and 376) for the liaison to AAAA, MRC and Esomar. The liaison statement has not yet been modified. We spent most of the meeting on item 1, summarizing the discussion a. Reference points c2 and c3 have been part of AM for several months at least. Yes they have been identified since a long time and there is no question about this, but it was decided in the full Q13/16 group that their specifications were out of scope. b. Recent progress of AM0 has included some more detail on c2 and c3, but it is incomplete . Recent progress has started to detail something decided to be out of scope by the full Q13/16 group . c. Figure 1 was added in Singapore, it currently shows the scope as including inputs to and outputs from AM, which map to reference points c2 and c3. d. For figure 1, it was proposed that it may be more appropriate to show the scope as cutting through the aggregation function rather than the inputs and outputs – this was not resolved. e. For figure 1, it was pointed out that by showing the out-of-scope “stakeholder” and “Measurements provision manager” blocks, it may be interpreted that this is the only and correct way to architect a solution. It was agreed that we should make a contribution to note that this is an example. f. It is clear that AM0 will not describe the functions outside of the currently shown scope of AM0 g. It is proposed that the description of c2 and c3 be limited to only the information model which impacts the functions within the aggregation and end user measurement functions. Aspects such as security and transport protocols would not be in scope. What do you mean by "information model"? If it is the list of elements with semantic and syntax, the command and report formats then this is out of scope. h. It was agreed that further definition of c2 and c3 and the functions on their far ends may be suitable for a separate recommendation in the future. i) the AM situation was declared similar to the distribution of AV contents with the same boundary who gave two recommendations: one for the interface between service provider and terminal and another one for the interface between content providers and service providers. For AM, the same approach seems relevant Christian, Miao, please review the above, and “reply to all” with comments if you believe it is materially incorrect or missing main points. For the coming week, please use email to continue the discussion of items 1,2 and 3, and if time allows, further address the high priority items listed below. We will have another conference call next week.

With some word-smithing of the liaison agreed to in Singapore to reflect these excerpts. In addition, it was pointed out that since interactivity is more important to IPTV than for traditional broadcast, that we should add our request for input regarding audience measurement of interactivity. Phil volunteered to modify the liaison statement. 2 At the Singapore meeting we generated a priority list of AM work items. The high priority items are: a. Aggregation functional block might be having some additional function blocks. b. EUMF description in SCF, network, CDF. c. More configuration and examples. d.
