GSC-9, Seoul2 GTSC Meeting Statistics Up to 50 attendees (some less when parallel meetings started) (Like last GTSC) 23 papers presented and discussed in a day and a half 2 proposed new Resolutions for the GSC Plenary to consider

GSC-9, Seoul Our Sessions HIS: Next Generation Networks –General Issues –Architecture and Protocols –End-to-End Quality of Service –Service Platforms –Network Management –Lawful/Legal Interception –Security –Interworking of Services –NGN overview reprise & Decisions New HIS Areas ITU-T Considerations - WTSA 2004 Planning for GTSC-3 List of actions before next GSC

GSC-9, Seoul Developments from Papers & Discussions 1NGN standards work clearly points to a need for strong collaboration and cooperation of regional activities, in combination with the ITU-T as the global SDO 2It is important to decide what work needs to be done and who should do it – to avoid duplication and optimize resources for standards work 3There is a place for both Fora and the traditional standardization structure in NGN work. 4NGN is not a single network, but a concept covering a range of applications including PSTN/ISDN, multimedia, videostreamining & other services

GSC-9, Seoul Developments from Papers & Discussions 5Agreement on ITU-T (SG 13) NGN definition 6No work done within the GSC from GSC8 to GSC9 on the identified NGN topics, but much work has been done by PSOs, policy makers and Regulators 7Much of the standards work sees the future network as a successor to broadband ISDN with a focus on multimedia 8We need to have a globally consistent long term vision of target NGN in ITU-T based on integrating national & regional perspectives 9Cybersecurity is now a very important issue and is one in which the GSC can play a role

GSC-9, Seoul NGNs – General Issues Discussed Updates on NGN work from ITU-T, ACIF, ETSI (TISPAN) & TTC ITU-T has just established a Focus group on NGN (first meeting in June 2004) ETSI’s NGN focus is now on Fixed IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) We agreed to review NGN decisions & outcomes in terms of the general direction of the whole package, after considering all the elements of NGN

GSC-9, Seoul NGN HIS Topics Discussed Architecture and Protocols End-to-End QoS Service platforms Network management Lawful/Legacy Interception Security Interworking of Services No new High Interest Subjects identified

GSC-9, Seoul NGN Overview & Decisions GSC is not the forum to discuss regulatory issues per se. Importantly, however, it was acknowledged that the role of PSOs and Fora is to develop global standards that will satisfy regulatory requirements Need for widespread collaboration, exchange of information and discussion at a national, regional and international level between industry and regulators on this issue Agreed to develop two new GSC Resolutions on NGNs & Cybersecurity

GSC-9, Seoul ITU-T Considerations – WTSA 2004 TSACC proposed that: –NGN is our opportunity to move everyone into the future together –a globally unified NGN approach will succeed The influence the GSC can have is that: –it is in our common interest for ITU-T to succeed in global aspects of NGN –there is an opportunity to input a consistent and coherent message to WTSA 2004 on the urgent need to optimize working arrangements to the benefit of the global standards community

GSC-9, Seoul ITU-T Considerations – WTSA 2004 The ITU-T report outlined: –the logistics, arrangements and dates for WTSA 2004 –the draft meeting structure for WTSA 2004 –on the day prior to WTSA there will be a Cybersecurity Symposium –the current regional preparations taking place for WTSA 2004 –the need for WTSA 2004 to entrust TSAG with more authority, and for it to request TSAG to be more efficient The APT outlined the Asia-Pacific regional arrangements, preparations, structure of its correspondence groups and likely APT Common Proposals

GSC-9, Seoul Planning for GTSC-3 There is a need to continue the implementation of the work on the two new Resolutions on: –Cybersecurity, & –NGNs Organizations/bodies that are not involved in the GSC should be appraised of the GSC decisions

GSC-9, Seoul Summary There were fruitful discussions in GTSC on a range of issues Collaboration on NGN & Cybersecurity at the GSC level is needed We finished our work 30 minutes ahead of schedule!
