As was indicated in FG IPTV Busan meeting report (FG IPTV-R-0014), we are scheduled to have an electronic meeting from 18 to 21 December 2006 to agree on WG1 report (FG IPTV-R-0008) and to advance the IPTV service requirements (FG IPTV-DOC-0053) and the IPTV Architecture (FG IPTV-DOC-0056). Due to the fact that these four days may not be enough to have good progress, I have had extensive consultations with the WG1 leaders to find a way to progress our work. We decided to reorganize the Requirement document as is presented in "Interim-001" ( http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/IPTV/events/122006/wg1emeet.html ; can also be access through the FG IPTV home page at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/IPTV ) with explanation of the changes to make it easier for the people to comment. For the Architecture document there has been no attempt to revise it. Further to this activity and in order to have adequate time to work on all parts of the document we have decided to start the comment period already now and run until 17 December, with the following schedule as comment period:

• To provide comments on any of these documents please use the FG IPTV exploder: fgiptv@itu.int
• To subscribe to the FG IPTV mailing list, please send your request to the FG IPTV Secretariat at:
  E-mail:  
  Tel:  +41 22 730 5869
  Fax:  +41 22 730 5853

To help trace the comments, I request we use the following conventions for the titles of our emails.

For the Requirement document: Req-<sub-clause>-<your first name>

Example: For comments related to sub-clause 5.3 of the requirement document and if John is the first to comment, the title of John’s email reads: Req-5.3-John

For the Architecture document: Arch-<sub-clause>-<your first name>

Example: For comments related to sub-clause 8.3 of the Architecture document and if Mary is the first to comment, the title of Mary’s email reads: Arch-8.3-Mary

The Requirement and Architecture documents and their subsequent revisions can be found at:

• http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/IPTV/events/122006/wg1emeet.html
• or via the FG IPTV home page at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/IPTV
