3. STI Policy Administrator
IP-NNI Task Force to begin defining STI Policy Administrator procedures
Assume simple “rules” from STI-GA and refine if necessary. For example:
SP must have an OCN as defined by NENA (“necessary and sufficient”)
Identify an appropriate OCN variant that offers an unambiguous definition of SP
SP status to be renewed annually
Mechanism for revoking SP status needed (criteria not specified)
STI-CA must support STI certificate distribution procedures
Mechanism is required to revoke STI-CA status (criteria not specified)
Procedure is required to revoke/update STI-PA certificates (criteria not specified)
STI-PA must maintain secure list of approved STI-CAs
STI-PA must maintain list of STI public certificates

4. STI Policy Administrator
STI-PA procedures: based on assumed rules, but to the extent possible, independent of the specific criteria, define processes to:
Establish & revoke STI-CA
Authorize SP
Issue Service Provider Code token to authorized SP
Renew Service Provider Code token
Revoke Service Provider Code token
Maintain secure list of approved STI-CA(s)
Distribute secure STI-CA list to SPs
Push, or on demand
Create description of STI-PA role in a form suitable for an “RFQ”

5. STI Governance Authority
STI-GA proposal has been tested with individual stakeholders.
Focused on general principles only
Next step is to develop a detailed proposal for consideration:
Criteria for membership in the STI-GA
Legal structure (e.g., LLC, committee, etc.)
Operating procedures (e.g., voting rules, IP policy, etc.)
Cost structure (staff, meetings, insurance, etc.)
Funding model
Proposing to form a standing group of interested parties to help ATIS develop a detailed recommendation for STI-GA implementation.
