Invitation to the ITU-T Workshop on NGN in Collaboration with the IETF

The ITU-T will hold a workshop on NGN (Next Generation Network)
together with the IETF 1-2 May, 2005, Geneva, Switzerland. Attendance
is open to all IETF participants and is free of charge. The deadline
for registration is 15 April 2005. Registration and other information
is available at:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/ngn/200505/index.html

(Be sure to look at the convening letter for more links).

The workshop will also serve as an important meeting point for ITU-T
and IETF management.

The overall objectives of the workshop are to explore specific NGN
issues that impact both the ITU-T and the IETF to better understand
the work underway in the two organizations and to identify areas where
actions could be taken between the ITU-T and IETF to further
coordinate their work.

Six sessions will each be co-chaired by an ITU representative and an
IETF representative. Topics will include (not final) requirements and
functional architecture; nomadicity and mobility; QoS, control and
signalling capabilities; network management; security capabilities, and
evolution.

Objectives:

o To explore specific NGN issues that impact both the ITU-T and the IETF
to better understand the work underway in the two organizations; and

o To identify those areas where actions could be taken between the ITU-T
and the IETF to further should coordinate their NGN-related work, and
to seek to reach agreement on any actions to be taken to coordinate
the work of the two organizations and perhaps establish joint
activities.

Mankin (mankin@psg.com) immediately, who will arrange for an
