Also the IMTC Board of Directors hold its meeting at the same time. The Board has basically decided to "sponsor" the hosting of the next ITU-T SG16 Joint Rapporteurs meetings in February 1998. Since the desire of Sg16 Rapporteurs was to have the meeting on the West Coast of the USA, instead of the East Cost, it was decided to fulfill that request. It was decided that the IMTC Secretariat (lead by Deepak Kamlani) would be in charge of the organization of the meeting. My responsibility would be to help Deepak that to ensure that all ITU-T needed details are in place. The current, not fixed yet, plans are the following: 1 We try to link the ITU-T event close to the next IMTC BoD meeting (currently planned for February 11 and 12, 1999, in order to minimize trips for some members, and minimize organi- zation of the meeting. The exact date for the ITU-T meeting shall be fixed as soon as possible by the responsible ITU Rapporteurs and the IMTC Secretariat/BoD. What are the prefererred exact dates? 2 The meeting would be organized in a hotel. In discussion is Monterey, CA (did I get the spelling correctly?..close to Silicon Valley anyway). 3 We would like to keep local copying to the minimum, thus electronic handling of the documents is planned. Which Silicon Valey based companies could help with setting up the networking inftrastructure, inkl. a PC-Server, small LAN, etc.? 4 On Security IMTC VoiP Forum is discussing its Security Profiles. A joint meeting with ITU-T Sg16 Security experts is possible. Voip is also working on identification problem of users, that has also a strong security aspects. Any feelings about a joint meeting from an ITU-T Sg16 side? Kind regards, Istvan Sebestyen
