(My apologies if you receive this more than once.)
Colleagues,
As you probably know a new Full Service -VDSL Focus Group has been established under SG16. (see: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com16/fs-vdsl/index.html for more information)
To give SG16 delegates visibility of the draft Recommendations being prepared by the Focus Group, a new FTP site and email reflector have been established. These are open to both ITU-T members and Focus Group members. Full details are available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com16/fs-vdsl/edh-info.html including details of how to join the email reflector and access the FTP site.
On the FTP site you will find folders for each of the proposed Recommendations. These will be used to post the latest drafts as the work progresses. Current drafts resulting from the recent Focus Group meeting in Paris are available now. Also on the FTP site is a folder containing a number of informative White Papers on FS-VDSL.
Those interested in the work of the Focus Group are encouraged to join the email reflector and review the draft Recommendations. Comments on the drafts are requested as soon as possible.
There will be an editing meeting for the draft system architecture Recommendation in Turin, Italy, during 14-17 January 2003. We have SG16 permission to have a Rapporteur meeting at this time if sufficient interest exists, and there will also be a planned Rapporteur meeting in Toronto, 4-6 March 2003, which will also cover the OAM&P Recommendation.
In addition it is currently proposed to convert the Operator Requirements Specification (Part 1) into an ITU-T Supplement to accompany the Recommendations. The latest published version of Part 1 is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com16/fs-vdsl/fgts.html
Please contact me if you have any comments or questions on any aspect of the work.
Other relevant contacts are: Associate Rapporteur for architecture Recommendation (Q.B) - Stephane Py stephane.py@rd.francetelecom.com Associate Rapporteur for OAM&P Recommendation (Q.C) - Peter Adams p.f.adams@btopenworld.com
Best regards
