Two permanent Ad-Hoc groups

Further to the decisions of the WTSA-08 and in particular Resolution 2 (regarding assisting the developing countries) and Resolution 56 (supporting mobilization of participation of developing regions), the meeting agreed to set up two ad-hoc groups Assisting Developing Countries (ADC) Ad-Hoc Group and Support Mobilization and Participation (MAP) Ad-Hoc Group with a mandate and leadership as found in TD 7 (PLEN/13). The groups held their first meetings that resulted in the adoption of the initial work plan as indicated in TD 26 (PLEN/13).

Review of Questions of SG 13

WTSA-08 sent couple of issues concerning allocation of studies for the further consideration of the Study Group 13. The meeting accepted the work for inclusion within SG 13 and specifically the following Questions:
  • Secure solutions for mobile payments issue:
    • agreed to include into the existing Q.16/13 “Security and identity management” as one of the work items; the Question Q.16/13 description was adjusted accordingly
  • Compatibility and interoperability issue:
    • agreed to hand over testing aspects to SG 11
    • agreed to continue on-going study on draft Y.phys_arch_ngn “Physical Architecture of NGN” in Q.5/13 “Principles and functional architecture for NGN (including ubiquitous networking)”
  • Move Q. K/13 “Packet forwarding and deep packet inspection for multiple services in packet-based networks and NGN environment” to SG 11:
    • Agreed to retain former Q.14/13 (now Q.17/13 “Packet forwarding and deep packet inspection for multiple services in packet-based networks and NGN environment”) in SG 13
    • SG 11 agreed on the above after SG 13 Chairman’s explanation of this proposal at the SG 11 opening plenary on 19 January 2009, which he attended
  • Service scenarios and deployment models issue:
    • Recognized that the items for study from C 95/WTSA are already covered by various Questions (see work programme)

SG 13 revised three of its Question texts and approved those revisions as follows:
  • Q.16/13 “Security and identity management” as in TD 18 (PLEN/13)
  • Q.17/13 “Packet forwarding and deep packet inspection for multiple services in packet-based networks and NGN environment” as in TD 22 (PLEN/13)
  • Q.15/13 “Applying IMS and IMT in developing country mobile telecom networks” as in TD 41 (PLEN/13)

Creation of the Focus Group on Future Networks

After a number of sessions of discussions during the two weeks of meeting, the WP 5/13 came up with the proposal to establish a new Focus Group on Future Networks (FG-FN). The SG 13 plenary agreed to establish a Focus Group on Future Networks (FG-FN) with the terms of reference as in TD 27 (PLEN/13) and the Chairman Mr. Naotaka Morita. The Vice-Chairman position is kept open leaving a possibility to be filled up with the member of non-ITU organization active in the filed of future networks. SG 13 is the parent SG of this FG.

Interim activities of Rapporteur groups authorized by the meeting are listed at
