3. Proposed FoN Mission and Scope
To explore changes to the environment, including new and future technologies, the impact of market place and/or regulatory changes and innovations on telephone numbering.
Scope:
The Working Group will investigate new telephone numbering assignment approaches and future telephone number assignment requirements. The Working Group will identify trends and assess their impact upon numbering resources. The Working Group, if necessary, will analyze potential changes to numbering administration and use common criteria to determine the feasibility and benefit of each and report its findings to the NANC. The Working Group will also analyze various topics that may be given to it from time to time by the NANC and/or FCC.
