Dear SG16 experts,

Please find attached after my signature Mr. Campos-Neto's message on SG16 activities related to NGN that are scheduled on 19-20 January 2006. The two circulars referred to have been placed as TD-19 and TD-20 at the avc-site. They are our meetings, not someone else's with our participation. Their organization is one of the topics at the coming Rapporteur meeting in Geneva.

Best regards,

Dear colleagues,

In addition to TSB Circular 47 announcing the creation of the NGN GSI, http://www.itu.int/md/meetingdoc.asp?type=sitems&lang=e&parent=T05-T...

R-0047,

please note that TSB Circular 48 http://www.itu.int/md/meetingdoc.asp?type=sitems&lang=e&parent=T05-T...

R-0048

has been issued for the "NGN-GSI Event" to take place in January 06.

The SG 16 Management decided to hold several SG 16 sessions during the event, to profit of the SG 11, 13 and 19 presentce to further assert the SG 16 role in NGN development.

For such, we envisage activities of Q.21 and Q.22 on Arhitecture and Services issues (Home networking and H.325) on Thu 19 Jan 06, Q.23 (on media coding for NGN) on the morning of Fri 20 Jan 06, Q.25 (jointly with relevant Qs in SG 13, and Q.29 with relevant Qs in SG 19. We have not explicitly mentioned Q.26, even though there is the possibility for joint session with Q.s of SG 13. Please note that the afternoon of Fri 20 Jan 06 is reserved for a general meeting where the plans for the progress of the NGN work in ITU-T will be laid out. So it is a unique opportunity to get involved.

Please circulate the relevant information to your groups.

Cheers, Simao
