1.1 Rapporteur Group on Fixed and Mobile Services and Network Signaling

1.2 Rapporteur Group on Transport Infrastructure

1.3 Rapporteur Group on Communications Network Management and Operations

Others:


1. Working Group of Standardization Coordination - Authorities

                                                                     

Chair: Mr. Walter Calil (Brazil)
Vice-Chairs: Mr. Hector Carril (Argentina) (interim)
  Mr. William McCrum (Canada) (interim)
 
1.1 Rapporteur Group on Fixed and Mobile Services and Network Signaling

Mandate: The group will focus on the study of standards that are necessary for the smooth transition to next generation networks (NGN). It will address issues relating to the convergence of existing networks in a way that maintains interoperability across the region. It will make specific recommendations (Coordinated Standards Documents, Technical Notebooks, etc.) and related policy guidelines that best serve the current and future needs of the users of these networks through the region.

Co-Rapporteurs: To be designated (Canada)
  Mr. Marco Perez (Colombia)
   

 

Terms of Reference:

a To identify and evaluate technical issues relating to the protocol standards required for interconnectivity and interoperability of existing and future communications networks (wireline and wireless) across the region that will ultimately result in the emergence of a single, seamless network.

b To draw primarily on the work of existing standards-setting bodies, including the ITU-T, IETF, and other fora as appropriate.

c. To recommend standards that deal with the following topics:

c.1 Multimedia service definition and architectures;

c.2 Signaling requirements and protocols (Intelligent networks);

c.3 IP-based services (Voice over IP, Video over IP, etc.);

c.4 Emergency services;

c.5 Network aspects of IMT-2000 and beyond (wireless Internet, harmonization and Convergence, network control, mobility, roaming, etc.);

c.6 Interworking between traditional telecommunication networks and evolving networks;

d. To identify, on a timely and ongoing basis, obstacles to full interoperability of networks throughout the Americas and to report on these to both the Working Group on Standards Coordination and the Working Group on Advanced Network Technologies and Services.

e. To establish liaisons with other standards bodies and industry fora as necessary to advance in the work.

 
1.2 Rapporteur Group on Transport Infrastructure

Mandate: The mandate of this Rapporteur group is to study transmission layer related standards for the access, metropolitan, and long haul sections of communication networks and their applicability to the networks across the region. This group will also address issues relating to terminals and outside plant. It will make specific recommendations (Coordinated Standards Documents, Technical Notebooks, etc.) and related policy guidelines that best serve the current and future needs of the users of transport networks through the region.

Rapporteurs: Mr. Walter Calil Jabur (Brazil) (interim)

 

Terms of Reference:

a. To identify and evaluate technical issues relating to the standards required to support interconnectivity and interoperability of existing and future transport networks across the region that will ultimately result in the emergence of an end-to-end optical network.

b. To draw primarily on the standards work of the ITU-T and other fora as appropriate

c. To recommend standards that deal with the following topics:

c.1 Metropolitan and Long haul optical transport networks;

c.2 Access network transport (LANs, xDSL, Ethernet, cable modem, fiber, Wireless LANs, etc.);

c.3 Terminals (PC, TV, phone, codecs, etc.);

c.4 Outside plant.

d. To identify, on a timely and ongoing basis, obstacles to full end-to-end interoperability of transport networks throughout the hemisphere and to report on these to both the Working Group on Standards Coordination and the Working Group on Advanced Network Technologies and Services.

e. To establish liaisons with other standards bodies and industry fora as necessary to progress the work.

 
1.3 Rapporteur Group on Communications Network Management and Operations

Mandate: This group will focus on the study of standards that apply to planning, engineering and provisioning of network resources; to operations, maintenance or administration process; or to requirements and recommendations for support systems and equipment that may be used for these functions. The group will make specific recommendations (Coordinated Standards Documents, Technical Notebooks, etc.) and related policy guidelines that best serve the current and future needs of the Member States of the region.

Rapporteurs: Mr. Héctor Carril (Argentina) (interim)

 

Terms of Reference:

a. To draw primarily on the work of existing standards-setting bodies, including the ITU-T, and other fora as appropriate.

b. To identify and evaluate standards related to administrative support functions such as methods for charging, accounting and billing data.

c. To recommend standards that deal with the following topics:

c.1 Management of communications services, networks and equipment;

c.2 Communications system security (lawful intercept, privacy, fraud prevention, cyber crime, sabotage, etc.);

c.3 Numbering, Naming and Addressing (ENUM);

c.4 Performance and QoS.

d. To identify, on a timely and ongoing basis, obstacles to full interoperability of communications networks management systems throughout the hemisphere and to report on these to both the Working Group on Standards Coordination and the Working Group on Advanced Network Technologies and Services.

e. To maintain liaison with appropriate standards-setting bodies external to PCC.I.
