Hi, Paul:

Let me explain where H.225.0 Annex G may fit with respect to mobility as well as non-mobility as follows:

1. Anything extension that does NOT deal with MOBILITY in H.225.0 Annex G version 2 can be considered for approval.

2. Anything that deals with MOBILITY (or with an intention to support mobility indirectly) in H.225.0 Annex G version 2 MUST NOT be considered for approval because of the following:

a. The scope and reference points of mobility Q.5/16 needs to be defined that is consistent with its charter.

b. H.MMS.x work will be defined and completed in accordance to item a.

c. All applications can use the common protocol for HLF/VLF/AuF (and other value-added services). It will be a new protocol and will NOT have any application-specific name (e.g., H.225.0 Annex G).

d. As soon as we complete item c, we will see what needs to be done for H.323. In H.323, we may have to extend H.225.0 RAS + H.225.0 Annex G. These are application-specific extensions to support MOBILITY (applicable for each application as well: H.310, H.324, IMT-2000, etc.).

This is what has been proposed by AT&T in all contributions.

Hope this will help.

Best regards, Radhika R. Roy AT&T

Folks,

The editor of Annex G has recommended that we not approve Annex G at this meeting, citing that there is insufficient material to warrant approval. I have also heard comments from some that additional work should be done in the area of defining reference point D. Of course, we also have the open question of where (if anywhere) Annex G fits into the H.MMS.x work.

For the benefit of those not planning to attend the meeting, please tell me if you would have objections to *not* approving Annex Gv2 at this meeting.

Thanks, Paul
