GTSC-5 Overview
• Presentations
– Presentation of GTSC-5 Summary Report (GSC13-GTSC6-17)
• Summary
– TTC was thanked for their presentation of this report

NGN – General (ETSI)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GTSC6-02R2, -04, -11, -22; (-14 and -15 for
information)
• Summary
– Efforts are underway towards coordinating all the NGN work across
numerous SDOs and close collaboration needs to be continued.
– Work is occurring to apply NGN Standards to support various expanded
services to meet user ambitions and service/network providers business
plans.
– Technical standards for NGN interconnection of services must be available in
a timely manner.
– Gap analysis and top-down approaches may be useful to help advance work
in NGN.
• Resolution
– A drafting group was charged with revising the Resolution regarding Next
Generation Networks (NGN) starting with the baseline text contained in
GSC13-GTSC6-04. Following review, the revisions submitted by ETSI were
approved by GTSC-6 as the Resolution to be submitted to the closing plenary
for GSC approval.

Cybersecurity (ATIS)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GTSC6-05, -07, -12 (-18 for information)
• Summary
– It was noted that Cybersecurity is currently one of the top priorities in the ITU.
– It is essential to have effective cooperation and collaboration across the
many standards bodies doing Cybersecurity work.
– It is a considerable challenge to address security to enhance trust and
confidence of users in networks, applications, and services.
– Security solutions have an impact on delay and performance and this
challenge must be met to meet user expectations.
– Cybersecurity is a key element in the work on NGN.
• Resolution
– A drafting group was charged with revising the Resolution regarding
Cybersecurity starting with the baseline text contained in GSC13-GTSC612a1. Following review, the text in GSC-13-GTSC6-12a1 was approved by
GTSC-6 as the Resolution to be submitted to the closing plenary for GSC
approval.

Home Networking (ITU)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GTSC6-06, -09, -13, -16R1, -20R1 (-08, -19 for information)
• Summary
– Home Networking is considered to have a high impact on end-to-end QoS/QoE
management. Different network technologies have different QoS/QoE classes,
performance parameters, and performance objectives that need specific standards
developed.
– There is currently a gap between the formal responsibility of providers and the
customers’ expectation of QoS and QoE; it will be necessary for standards developers
to work together to minimize this gap.
– It may be necessary to examine several use cases in order to determine standards to
provide QoS/QoE.
– It is critical to enable the delivery of a high quality user experience in a dynamic device
and service rich environment.
– There is current work occurring on the guidelines for the implementation of security
mechanisms in customer networks.
– PSOs are invited to support usable residential networking guidance towards users
including a greener approach.
• Resolutions
– The existing Resolution, GSC12-20, regarding Home Networking was revised via live
edits and the document as revised was approved by GTSC-6 as the Resolution to be
submitted to the closing plenary for GSC approval.
