Dear All,
after a busy week, last Friday TSAG approved the report of WP2 on
"Work Programme" (TD 455). This report contains also the results of
the discussion on the restructuring issues.
For SG16, I would like to draw your attention to the following results:
1) The new SG structure includes a SG F - "Multimedia Terminals,
Systems and Applications" (this is agreed and not questioned
anymore!)
2) SG E "Integrated broadband cable networks and television and
sound transmission" (former SG9) remains separate, with the
requirements to improve the coordination with other SGs, in
particular with SG F. The provisional meeting schedule includes
collocated meetings in November 2004 and July/August 2005 (see
TD402Rev1).
I have agreed with Richard Green/Chairman SG9, that we should
before November 2004 already identify issues for coordination and
initiates joint activities if needed.
3) Q 3/16 and 5/16 have been redrafted to clarify the interface with
SG11. Both questions remains in SG F. The new draft can be found in
TD 446.
It is my understanding, that we have still not the same vision as
SG11 concerning future work on Q 3/16, so that we will have to
improve the coordination with them. According to the present
provisional meeting schedule we have 3 days of overlap in November
2004 (see TD402Rev1). We should also consider the possibility to
hold Joint rapporteurs Meetings in future with SG11.
4) Q K/16 remains in SG F. A good coordination with the SG J "Mobile
Telecommunications Networks" is required.
5) WP15/C is transferred to SG F. We are requested to work in close
cooperation with SG G (former SG12).
6) TDR/ETS:
- Q I/16 remains in SG F
- TDR/ETS basic requirements are not yet allocated, they are three options:
1. SG M "Operational aspects of service provision, networks and performances"
2. SG K "Security, Languages and Telecommunications Software"
3. SG I "Architecture and convergence for NGN"
- PCP-TDR will report to the SG responsible for the basic ETS/TDR
requirements.
We should also note, that there are still three important open issues:
i) the future of SG2
ii) the three options for the allocation of the TDR/ETS requirements
iii) the components of NGN SG
The consequence from iii) is that is is still open whether SG 11 and
SSG will remain as stand alone SGs or not!
From SG16 perspective, we have reached the objectives agreed upon at
our last plenary session in January as described in our liaison to
TSAG (TD319).
We should however not forget that the final decision will be made at
WTSA-2004 in October (e.g. we already know that regional groups are
preparing proposals to the WTSA on this restructuring issues!).
I would like to take the opportunity to express my sincere thanks to
those present at TSAG who have helped me in representing SG16 views
during the meeting, in particular to Messrs Istvan Sebestyen, Dave
Lindberg, Patrick Luthi, Leo Lehmann, Yushi Naito, Simao Campos Neto
and Keiichi Hibi.
Also my best thanks to Yukio Hiramatsu/Chairman SG11, Val屍ie
Barnole/FT and Stewart Alexander/BT to have been open to a
compromise solution on Questions 3/16 and 5/16.
Regards
Pierre-Andr
