In accordance with decisions taken at the April 2007 meeting of Study Group 13 the work of the
IPTV Focus Group has ended and its documents have been transferred to the appropriate
study groups via Study Group 13 for the development of draft Recommendations based on the focus group outputs
as appropriate and for the continuation of the work on the unfinished topics.
Based on proposals developed by the chairman of Study Group 13 and the chairman of the IPTV Focus Group and endorsed
by TSAG the ongoing work will be carried out under the umbrella of a Global Standards Initiative (the IPTV-GSI).
The ongoing work on the outputs from the IPTV Focus Group will be done by the study groups (based on allocations
developed by the IPTV-JCA) with coordinated planning of the activities and through co-located meetings of the
involved rapporteur groups to progress certain areas of the work as appropriate.
As part of the establishment of the IPTV-GSI the membership of the IPTV-JCA is being extended to include other standards
organizations involved with the ITU-T in the IPTV work stemming from the results of the IPTV Focus Group. Also an
IPTV-GSI
Technical and Strategic Review (TSR) process has been set up. This will operate at every IPTV-GSI event (Study Group meetings
and coｌlocated rapporteur meetings) and will bring to the IPTV-JCA any issues requiring guidance or recommendations
for action, e.g., concerning work allocation. Mr Masahito Kawamori (NTT, Japan) has been appointed as the TSR coordinator.
