Strategic Direction Work on essential Mgt & Ops standards gaps Continue to work Mgt & Ops aspects of ATIS Board and ATIS TOPS Council “top down” work programs (e.g., NGN Accounting Management) Coordinate and collaborate with other organizations where appropriate

Challenges Industry wide challenges for Mgt&Ops Standards development: Nexus of IT and Telecom (two dynamic environments) Focus on network/service specific aspects of Mgt&Ops Thus common aspects of Mgt&Ops are deemphasized and work is highly distributed across many committees and forums Distributed Mgt&Ops experts across many committees and forums Given limited and distributed resources, selecting essential standards gaps to work on with maximum industry/member benefit, and coordinating across the many forums is a challenge

Next Steps/Actions Complete currently defined work program Continue to support the Mgt & Ops aspects of strategic work as directed “top down” by the ATIS Board and ATIS TOPS Council (e.g., NGN Accounting Management) Continue with cross-organizational coordination and collaboration
