Opening of meeting and introductions
Mr. Kenichi KITAMI, TTC, GSC#6 Chairman, welcomed representatives from the Participating
Standards Organizations (PSO)s), the ITU and invited guests to the 6th Global Standards
Collaboration meeting. He noted with sad regret that Rex Christensen, head of the ACIF
delegation in Williamsburg, VA had passed away recently and asked for a moment of silence in Mr.
Christensen’s remembrance.
Mr. Akio SASAKI, ARIB, RAST#9 Chairman, also extended a welcome to all the attendees, and
noted that the activity of wireless and wired telecommunications continue to share common areas
of interest and that joint plenary sessions are valuable to exchanging information.
The list of attendees is found in ANNEX D.

Address by the Chairman
Chairman KITAMI presented “Overview of the past GSCs” (GSC6(2000)06) and reviewed the
history and major topics of past meetings. He described the evolution of the GSC during the
years and noted that the landscape surrounding the ITU has changed dramatically, in addition
there has been a rise in the number of fora and consortia in the standardization environment.
Considering the explosion of Internet usage, the integration/conversion in many technology areas
such as telecommunications and broadcasting, and the rapid evolution of mobile technology, it
may be necessary to examine the standards subjects of GSC and adjust it to meet the ever
changing environment. Additionally, many of the topics of past meetings may have reached a
point of maturity and it may be time to revisit the framework and adjust topics for the coming
decade.
The pre-eminence of the ITU should be maintained, but a new approach may be needed in the
fast changing environment of standardization for telecommunications.

Approval of the Agenda
The agenda (GSC6(2000)01R2) was presented by Chairman KITAMI and a detailed time
allocation was distributed for reference. Chairman KITAMI noted the large number of
contributions (ANNEX C) and the ambitious schedule, and requested that each presenter speak
no more than five minutes when introducing a contribution. Since the detailed time allocation well
covered the intention of GSC6(2000)02, no discussion was made on this contribution.

It was asked if APT develops standards for the region and Mr. NARAYAN clarified that APT
harmonized standards for protocol.
Mr. Robert HORTON, ACIF, presented “Report on ASTAP Activities” (GSC6(2000)14). The
Asia Pacific Telecommunications Standardization Program (ASTAP) prime functions are to study
standardization-related issues and to make contributions to the ITU, to bring about harmonization
of telecommunications standards for the region and to disseminate information about regional
and international standardization activities. He described the composition of the group and the
history of its activities since its formation in 1998. Mr. HORTON also explained ASTAP’s
preparation for the upcoming World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA)
meeting.
In light of the ASTAP’s role serving as a coordinator for telecommunications standardization
among countries in Asia-Pacific region, it was asked if ASTAP would like to become a member of
GSC. Mr. HORTON expressed reservation to be invited as a member since he was not sure if
ASTAP has arrived at a level of maturity desired to be a full member of GSC. However, he would
like to see ASTAP invited as observer to future GSC meetings.
5.4
Report on PSO Activities
5.4.1
ETSI
Mr. Karl Heinz ROSENBROCK, ETSI, presented “Report on General ETSI Activities since
GSC#5” (GSC6(2000)33). He highlighted the changes in ETSI’s membership, officials, and
structure, as well as changes made in electronic production to accommodate the record number
of standards being produced.
As of May this year, the Members numbered 594, Associate Members 122, and Observers 57.
Approximately 50% of the membership is composed of manufacturers, 21% of service providers
and 17% of network operators. Mr. ROSENBROCK also described the various Technical
Committees and subject matters addressed. Additionally, he noted that 1999 was a record year
for standards production for ETSI, and it is projected that number of deliverables for 2000 will
exceed dramatically the output of 1999.
5.4.2
T1
Mr. Raymond HAPEMAN, T1, presented “Committee T1 since GSC5” (GSC6(2000)23) and
“Status Report on Broadband ISDN and Bearer Independent Call Control” (RAST9(2000)28). He
described the standardization activities in seven areas. Of particular interest to the group, he
pointed out the recently published glossary of telecommunications terminology with contains
3,000-5,000 terms. Further, he noted that T1 now makes its deliverables available for single use
download on the web. Other process related changes include reducing the ballot interval to four
weeks, web-based document support and experimenting with virtual meetings.
As part of process management, ANSI designation has been removed from the designation of T1
Standards. Committee T1 has been approved by ITU-T under Recommendations A.5 and A.6. It
has also allowed multiple solutions for a single technical problem in the development of
standards. Lastly, it has shortened the approval process for a TSC specification which is much
like an ETSI specification and allows for timely approval of 3GPP deliverables.

25 October 2000
Cont. 28 summarizes the work activities of the various Technical Subcommittees of T1 and
provides completed work, work in progress, and work that is planned.
It was questioned whether a four week ballot process is acceptable under the terms of the World
Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade agreement which recommends at least a 60 day
interval for balloting of standards. It was proposed to discuss this issue in the EDH working
group.
5.4.3
TTC
Mr. Kenji SUZUKI, TTC, presented “TTC Activities” (GSC6(2000)07). He noted the total number
of members is 131 companies as of June 2000. He also noted the number of committee experts
is 2,200 individuals. An updated organizational chart was presented, as well as the number of
standards developed, revised and abolished from May 1999 through April 2000. 512 deliverables
were produced in 1999. Topics which TTC continues to focus are IMT-2000 and IP-related. TTC
has established several working groups with regard to IP, and signed two Memorandum of
Understandings. One MOU is with ETSI TIPHON Project and the other is with International
Multimedia Teleconference Consortium (IMTC).
With regard to process management, TTC qualified for Recommendations A.5 and A.6 by ITU-T.
Also TTC has introduced a standard maintenance process in April 1999 and will introduce
electronic voting in its standards approval process in the next year.
5.4.4
ACIF
Ms. Johanna PLANTE, ACIF, presented “ACIF Activities since GSC5” (GSC6(2000)20) and
“Spectrum Usage in Australia” (RAST9(2000)18). She explained the history of the development
of Australian Communications Industry Forum that was established in 1997. She noted that it
became fully accredited to develop industry standards, industry codes and guidelines in 1998.
Ms. PLANTE described the structure of the ACIF Board and Membership. She highlighted the
importance of user involvement in the process and listed the various documents and topics
covered by ACIF. Lastly, she presented the evolving role of ACIF as industry facilitator in Australia
and how it is expected to grow. She provided the list of issues to be addressed in the short term,
medium term and long term.
Cont. 18 described current spectrum usage in Australia and the unique characteristics of the
country with regard to land mass and population. Details were provided on Australia’s use of

TIA
Mr. Dan BART, TIA, presented “TIA Activities Since GSC5/RAST8” (GSC6(2000)42R1). He
noted the record load of standards being produced at TIA, and that the workload has nearly tripled
since 1999. TIA qualified for Recommendations A.5 and A.6 by ITU-T. Also TIA has improved its
electronic working methods to enhance its standards development process. Certain engineering
committees now use fixed and wireless LANS, and it is expected that others will follow. Also
noteworthy is that TIA previously limited participation in its standards development process to
companies who had presence in North America, but now has lifted the geographic restriction and
opened participation to any company.
TIA has actively participated in ITU activities including WRC-2000, Working Group on Reform and
participates in ITU regional trade shows as well as TELECOM 99. TIA manages the 3GPP2
Secretariat, serves as Secretariat for the Global Telecommunications Action Committee, and
recently has embarked on a new partnership project with ETSI called the Public Safety
Partnership Project (PSPP). TIA continues to grow and has opened new offices in Brussels and
San Jose, California.

Conformity Assessment and Quality of Standards
Mr. Young-Tae KIM presented “Conformity Assessment Activities in Korea” (GSC6(2000)30). He
highlighted the 8th Interoperable Open Network Workshop and Exhibition (ION) held September
8-9, 1999 and the activities of the Network Equipment Test Center (NETC) of Electronics and
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) of Korea. The purpose of the workshop was to
ensure interoperability among entwork equipment of Korean vendors, to share the standards and
product information among all international participants, and to enhance the competitiveness of
the network equipment manufacturers.
NETC provides testing and certification services for domestic and foreign information and
communication network equipment. Examples of services provided by NETC are Ethernet
performance testing services, ATM performance testing services, and interoperability testing
services. From September 2000, the NETC will provide joint testing services with the Tolly Group.
This service will be provided at NETC using Tolly’s methodology and issue the Tolly Certification
Mark from NETC after testing.

Update on Fora and Consortia
Mr. Fumio ONIMARU presented “Survey Report on Telecommunication-related Forums’
Activities” (GSC6(2000)04). He provided the history of the survey which began in 1994 and has
continued annually. The results of the survey have been shared with every GSC since GSC2 in
June 1995. He highlighted the structural changes in the report such as removal of analyses by
area and establishment date, change of order of chapters, classification of purposes of activities
and extension of the objective fields.
Key observations are that 98 forums have been maintained. He noted that 13 forums have been
removed from the previous survey and that 27 forums have been added. There is an increase of
forums related to the Electronic Commerce and those related to Internet Protocol (IP) and it is
suspected that the decrease of number in forums is a result of achievement of original mission.
The full report is on the TTC web page at http://www.ttc.or.jp/e/committee/srpc/index.html
Mr. DARLING, Mr. ROSENBROCK and Chairman KITAMI thanked TTC for all its hard work in
providing this comprehensive survey report as information to GSC participants. He noted that it is
especially useful having the full content of the report posted on the web page in English. This
annual report has provided invaluable information to all the GSC participants, and GSC members
look forward to future editions.

9.0
Overview of Past GSCs
Chairman KITAMI referred to “Overview of the past GSCs” (GSC6(2000)06) which contained a
slide on the last page showing the evolution of high interest subjects.
9.1 Mobility/IMT 2000 (initially joint with RAST#9, including Partnership Projects Status
Reports)
Mr. Raj PANDYA, ITU-T, presented “Cooperation between ITU-T SG 11 and Regional Standards
Bodies on Signalling Aspects of IMT-2000” (GSC6(2000)03). He proposed that a joint meeting of
ITU-T SG11 and interested regional standards bodies be held to discuss the framework of
cooperation for the signalling and protocol aspects of IMT-2000 at ITU-T and the related work on
the 3rd Generation Mobile Systems in various regional standards bodies.
Considerable discussion ensued on the proposal, and it was noted that the R sector had already
developed guidelines to cooperate with the SDOs on IMT-2000 and that this might be a model for
the T sector. It was also pointed out that the imminent WTSA meeting may produce an outcome
not considered in the preparation of the proposal. The discussion was deferred to agenda item
10.
Mr. Houlin ZHAO, ITU-T, presented “Review of the ITU-T activities between GSC-5 and GSC-6”
(GSC6(2000)05) and focused on the last two slides of the contribution which detailed the
IMT-2000 and beyond plans for the WTSA.
Mr. Godfrey WILLIAMS, TSACC, presented “More Effective IMT-2000 Standardization in ITU-T”
(GSC6(2000)15). He provided background and rationale to a draft resolution prepared by
TSACC for GSC6 consideration. The emphasis of the proposal was to consolidate the IMT-2000
and beyond standards activities in ITU-T into a single Study Group on Mobile
Telecommunications in order to provide a single interface point to collaborate with external bodies
such as the 3G Partnership Projects and PSOs.
Various points of view were expressed in the discussion following the presentation. Committee
T1 Chair HAPEMAN noted that the U.S. government has already prepared a formal contribution
supporting need for unique IMT-2000 Study Group but as a PSO could not circumvent his national
process. Mr. DAVIDSON questioned why a working party for the R sector was sufficient to handle
all IMT-2000 matters but that a Study Group was proposed for the T sector. It was explained that
a SG has authority to implement Recommendations A.5 and A.6 whereas a WP doesn’t have the
same authority. It was also noted by Mr. FISHMAN that working methods are different for the T
and R sectors which may explain why a Working Party is sufficient for the R sector.
Concern was expressed that such a proposal would duplicate effort of the 3G Partnership
Projects. There is a need to clarify how the different parts of the standardization family work
together. This includes ITU internal (T and R sector) and how ITU interfaces with external bodies.
Mr. Karl Heinz ROSENBROCK, ETSI, presented “3GPP Status Report” (RAST9(2000)10). He
described the formation of the Project, the members, the relationship between 3GPP and ITU, as
well as the relationship between 3GPP and 3GPP2. He also provided information on the output of
the first 18 months of the Project as well as projections for future work methods.

Mr. Karl Heinz ROSENBROCK, ETSI, presented “All IP” (RAST9(2000)17). He explained that
3GPP has embarked on all IP architecture as part of the core network as part of the release 2000.
Mr. Steven DENNETT, TIA, presented “Status Update on 3GPP2 Activities” (RAST9(2000)39).
He described the membership of the Project, the process used for development of specifications,
and the organizational structure and the responsibilities of each Technical Specification Group.
Mr. DENNETT also described the relationship between 3GPP2 and ITU
Mr. Oliver WHEATON, ETSI, presented “Harmonized Standards for the IMT 2000 Family”
(RAST9(2000)13). He explained the recent R&TTE Directive prefers harmonized standards
define the technical characteristics required to meet the essential requirements of the Directive.
ETSI has established a joint Task Force (TFES) to prepare harmonized standards for the
IMT-2000 family of equipment that may be deployed in EC and EFTA countries. Work is
examining the terrestrial members of the IMT-2000 family of radio interfaces. The European
Commission has provided guidance to ETSI that not only UMTS equipment should be covered
but also other IMT-2000 technologies which are likely to be deployed in the EU. TFES expects to
have its deliverables by October 2000.
Discussion regarding the role of the ITU-T as a centralized body for IMT-2000 and beyond
continued. Mr. WILLIAMS encouraged PSOs to make their opinion known to ITU-T with regard
to the group to address IMT-2000 and beyond, and also that the ITU-T recognize the role of the
3G Partnership Projects and continue to work in a harmonious manner with the PPs.
Mr. FISHMAN introduced the Terms of Reference for IMT-2000 and beyond (Source: Resolution 2
for WTSA-2000) to provide a point of reference for the discussion of a new group to address
IMT-2000 and beyond.
It was agreed that an ad hoc be formed to address the relationship of the 3GPPs and ITU and that
a report be provided to the GSC6/RAST9 closing plenary. Mr. Philip DAVIDSON agreed to chair
this ad hoc. Mr. DAVIDSON will examine the TSAG resolution to outreach to Partnership
Projects, as well as the information provided by Mr. FISHMAN. The goal of the ad hoc will to draft
a resolution on the relationship of the 3GPPs and ITU.
Mr. James MACFIE proposed a set of pertinent points reflecting the discussion on GSC6(2000)15.
It was agreed to ask Mr. MCFIE to draft a resolution based on the points and to present it to the
GSC/RAST closing plenary.
Mr. Asok CHATERJEE presented “Committee T1 Wireless/IMT 2000 Activity Since RAST 8”
(GSC6(2000)25). He noted that this presentation would be presented in detail at the RAST and
provided a brief synopsis for the group. T1P1 has participated in the development of 3GPP
specifications, and also continues to address the second generation service needs for GSM. The
group also addresses location services, priority access, fixed wireless for PSTN Access, TTY,
Data for PCS 1900, GSM/TDMA Interoperability and Packet Mode Surveillance.
Mr. Asok CHATERJEE presented “Committee T1 Activity on Fixed Wireless Access”
(GSC6(2000)26). He noted that this presentation would be presented in detail at the RAST and

speed of the development of IP-based networks and discussed the use of xDSL.
Mr. Wayne ZEUCH, Committee T1, reported (see GSC6(2000)27 and presentation).
Discussion on Quality of Service (QoS) measurements ensued, and Messrs. ZEUCH and
HAPEMAN explained that U.S. measurements for QoS are sometimes developed by industry
organizations or by the government, but not by Committee T1. Chairman KITAMI deferred any
additional discussion on the impact QoS has on consumers to the Users Working Group.
Mr. Jae-Young AHN, TTA, reported (see GSC6(2000)32). Discussion on section 3 on BICC was
deferred to item 9.8 on the agenda.
Mr. Karl Heinz ROSENBROCK, ETSI, reported (see GSC6(2000)37), noting the reorganization
and new structure of ETSI SPAN (Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks) and the rationale
behind doing so is explained in section 3. He also reported on the ETSI TIPHON
(Telecommunication and Internet Protocol Harmonization Over Networks) (see GSC6(2000)38)
which deals with Voice over Internet Protocol (IP).
Chairman KITAMI noted that Mr. Gary FISHMAN, ITU-T, provided hard copies of communication
statements for information 1) from the ITU-T to ETSI, Committee T1, and TTC for transmittal to
3GPP and 2) from the ITU-T to TIA and TTC for transmittal to 3GPP2 as an input for the follow-up
discussion on IMT2000 (see Sec. 9.1).
Mr. Brian MOORE, ITU-T, reported on IP-related matters. The ITU-T has been developing an IP
project and the aim of the project is to show the various work topics required in the area of IP. An
updated formation on IP-related matters will be established in the near future, noting that the
Study Group (SG) structure will be revised and approved at the upcoming WTSA-2000 and that
SG13 has put forth a number of questions for study in the next four years. The intention is not to
redo the work already being done in the IETF. IP performance is one of the key issues where the
ITU-T has experience and the ITU-T is expecting to build up contacts with the IETF in this area
and anticipates getting good support from the SDOs.
Mr. Fabio BIGI, ITU-T, reported on the SG16 status report, including past, present, and future
work.
The issue of where multimedia, internet, and mobility are going was raised. It was asked if a
member of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) was invited to this GSC6 meeting. It was
pointed out that the IETF became an official GSC liaison member at GSC5 and are key to the
discussion of IP-related issues, and that IETFs participation should be ensured at future GSC
meetings.
The TTC Secretariat noted that attempts were made to invite a member of the IETF, but no
response was received. It was noted that the IETF works effectively from the bottom up, and that
their technical contributions are key. Chairman KITAMI proposed to form an ad hoc group to
develop suggestions for a framework on collaborating on IP-related works.
Mr. Peter DARLING noted that these discussions are important, the mobility and fixed issues
cannot be separated, and that the ITU-T and WTSA discussions should not be held separately.
Mr. Godfrey WILLIAMS noted that TSACC created an electronic discussion forum and that this
subject of IP would be a good topic for electronic discussion.

Chairman KITAMI noted that the topic of IP should be discussed now, but that TSACCs electronic
forum could be used for future discussion topics. There was no objection to forming an ad hoc
group to discuss the IP-related works, and Mr. DARLING will chair this group (which will meet
from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 Noon tomorrow, 31 August).
9.6 Broadband ISDN
Mr. Wayne ZEUCH, Committee T1, reported (see GSC6(2000)28 and presentation).
9.7 Universal Personal Telecommunications (UPT)
No contributions were received on this subject.
9.8 Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC)
Mr. Wayne ZEUCH, Committee T1, reported (see GSC6(2000)28 and presentation).
Mr. Jae-Young AHN, TTA, reported (see GSC6(2000)32) on section 3. There was discussion on
whether there is a need for a partnership project (PP) for BICC or if work should continue as is. It
was noted that a new model for working together may be needed to foster the efficient
development of this work.
9.9 Additional Candidate GSC High-Level Interest Areas
It was noted that some of the High Interest Subject (HIS) reports are for information only and
some of the HIS reports are for interworking (collaborative work) purposes, and that breaking the
presentations into these two separate categories may prove to be more efficient.
It was proposed to remove Number Portability as an HIS, but it was noted that future discussion of
Number Portability should be maintained in the IP-related area; proposed to remove B-ISDN; and
proposed to remove UPT. There were no objections to removing these three HISs.
Dr. Kishik PARK, TTA, reported (see GSC6(2000)10) that it is not the intent to make "Sharing the
Network Traffic Monitoring Information" a new HIS, but to make this an Information Sharing
Subject. Mr. Ray HAPEMAN, Committee T1, noted that obtaining the type of information noted in
section 5 would be difficult. Mr. PARK noted that he would provide additional information at the
end of this meeting. [Secretary's NOTE: Chairman KATAMI and Mr. PARK announced that TTA
withdrew their proposal].
Mr. Jim MACFIE, TSACC, reported (see GSC6(2000)16) on collaboration between SDOs on a
"Framework for Identification and Location of Users, their Devices, and Related Services" and
this area not intended to be a new HIS. The following proposed resolution is contained in the
contribution[Secretary’s NOTE: The intent of the proposed resolution was covered by Resolution
GSC6/8]:
Recognizing:
The need to provide user-friendly communication services;
Concludes:
- 12 -
HLTF5(95)1
GSC6 (2000) 49
25 October 2000
That an umbrella framework is required to: a) separate and classify fundamental elements
involved in the identification and location of entities; b) facilitate the deployment of Naming
and Addressing schemes of various types, without prejudice; c) permit the definition of new
interoperable services;
Resolves:
To assist in promoting the collaboration among relevant SDOs to achieve comprehensive
framework for the development of user-friendly identification and location services.
It was proposed to make Identification and Location Service an Information Sharing Subject
(ISS), and there were no objections.
Mr. Peter DARLING, ACIF, reported (see GSC6(2000)21) that Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL)
(high speed access to the internet), should be an ISS, which would include: development of new
xDSL technologies (ITU-T and SDO standardization), deployment of xDSL (spectrum
management, deployment arrangements), and customer equipment (deployment and regulatory
arrangements). There were no objections.
Mr. Karl Heinz ROSENBROCK, ETSI, reported (see GSC6(2000)36).
It was also proposed to add Optical Transmission Networks (OTN) as an ISS, as some of the
SDOs have been working in this area. A brief description of this subject will be written by Mr.
Alistair URIE, ETSI. There were no objections.
9.10 Working Methods Supporting High Interest Subjects
This was moved to item 10.3.

WTSA-200, ITU Reform, Future of GSC
10.1 WTSA-2000
Mr. Houlin ZHAO, ITU-T, reported (see GSC6(2000)05) on a brief overview of the duties and
structure of the upcoming World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly 2000
(WTSA-2000), including issues.
Mr. Fabio BIGI, ITU-T, reported (see GSC6(2000)08) on the WTSA-2000, including proposed
resolutions and structure. Chairman KITAMI asked Mr. BIGI to provide the URL of documents to
the GSC participants so they can have access to the information.
Mr. Godfrey WILLIAMS, TSACC, reported (see GSC6(2000)17). He noted that the timing of this
GSC meeting was set so that ideas may be submitted to WTSA-2000. He reported on TSACCs
views of the pros/cons of the TSAG agreement.
TSACC proposed that GSC6 encourage WTSA-2000 to support the following Revised (RR) and
New (NR) Proposed WTSA Resolutions:
RR #22 - Authorization for TSAG to act between WTSAs
RR #1 - Rules of Procedures of the ITU-T
NR # XX - Strengthening use of EDH for the work of the ITU-T
- 13 -
HLTF5(95)1
GSC6 (2000) 49
25 October 2000
NR # XXXX - Strengthening participation of developing countries in the work of the ITU-T
It was noted that these resolutions already exist and are supported by TSAG and that support was
being sought by GSC6 on these four particular proposals. Mr. Ray HAPEMAN, Committee T1,
pointed out that if GSC6 were to ask the SDOs to support certain ideas, then he would support
taking the information back to Committee T1 members to seek their support. However, if the
GSC6 SDOs were going to be asked to take a position on these ideas now, without taking the
information to their respective SDOs for approval, then this mode of operation would not be
supported. Mr. ROSENBROCK agreed, noting that ETSI represents 35 countries and he would
be uncomfortable in supporting a resolution on behalf of ETSI without seeking approval from his
members.
TSACC also proposed that GSC6 encourage WTSA-2000 to consider the following:
1) A new Study Group in IMT-2000 to facilitate coordination with other standards bodies; 2) A
stronger functional focus on Performance/ QoS; and 3) Plenipotentiary Conference to clearly
establish a partnership role for Sector Members and Member States in the approval of
Recommendations in line with the leading role of the private sector in the telecommunication
environment.
Chairman KITAMI deferred any additional discussion on WTSA-2000 after the discussion on ITU
Reform.
10.2 ITU Reform
Mr. Houlin ZHAO, ITU-T, reported (see GSC6(2000)19) on the Working Group on ITU Reform Ad
Hoc Group 1, noting that three models were submitted for discussion with 16 criteria for the new
entity. Mr. HAPEMAN clarified that Genuity (US) is a US-incorporated organization, but that that
the proposed Genuity model is not a U.S. position.
Mr. Godfrey WILLIAMS, TSACC, reported (see GSC6(2000)34 and presentation) on a TSACC
proposal to GSC6 to develop an input to WTSA-2000 and to the Working Group on ITU Reform
that captures a GSC6 view of desirable attributes of ITU-T’s future standardization role in terms
of:
– maintaining ITU-T leadership in global standards development and harmonization;
– increasing cooperation and coordination effectiveness with GSC PSOs;
– reflecting leadership role of private sector in the telecommunications environment
Mr. Ray HAPEMAN noted that Rec. A.AAP (Alternate Approval Process) assists in the speed in
development of Recommendations. He also noted that the question of "What is currently broken
in the ITU?" should be answered before making any decisions on Reform. Mr. WILLIAMS
commented that the perception of the ITU is broken, that it is seen as "old world" and, therefore,
there is a need to change the image of the ITU and the way people look at global standardization.
It was noted that there is some limit to what the GSC can do with respect to the WTSA-2000, and
that it may be desirable to express a GSC6 view in the form of a draft resolution which is less
specific, yet still supportive of the work already done by TSAG and the Working Group on ITU
Reform.

GSC6 (2000) 49
25 October 2000
Mr. Gary FISHMAN noted that the public primarily wants to know what the results of the ITU are,
and that they are not concerned with the structure of the ITU. He noted that he hopes that out of
this GSC meeting, there would be support by the GSC for the TSAG proposals.
Mr. ROSENBROCK noted that he would not be able to support the proposals as noted in
GSC6(2000)17 at this time, though he would be willing to take the proposal back to the ETSI
members to seek their approval. He also noted concern about the proposal to support only four of
the many TSAG proposals. Lastly, he noted the ETSI members' concern about the creation of
fora and consortia in order to gain an advantage, and that these groups may be more of a threat
to the ITU, and that addressing this concern was a higher priority than GSC taking a position on
ITU Reform.
10.3 GSC’s position on WTSA-2000 and ITU Reform
Chairman KITAMI advised that there does not seem to be any way that the GSC can support the
proposals as written in GSC6(2000)17. Mr. Philip DAVIDSON, ETSI, encouraged all members of
the GSC to refrain from focusing on isolated topics and Messrs. HAPEMAN and ROSENBROCK
suggested that the proposal ask the GSC to request that the SDOs seek member support for all
of the TSAG proposals.
Mr. FISHMAN volunteered to draft a statement which states that, in general, the GSC supports
the proposals by TSAG to WTSA-2000. Mr. WILLIAMS advised that he would have liked to have
gone further with the support of the GSC, but that any statement of support would be beneficial.
After discussion, it was agreed to ask Mr. Fishman to draft a Resolution based on his proposal
and report it to the GSC6/RAST9 closing plenary.
Mr. Alistair URIE, ETSI, noted that section 1 of GSC6(2000)34 contains good wording which could
be a starting point for the draft wording regarding the ITU Reform (see item 10.2, second
paragraph of these minutes). It was agreed by TSACC and Mr. WILLIAMS that they would create
a resolution based on section 1. There were no objections by the GSC.
10.4 Future of GSC
Mr. Hong-Lim LEE, TTA, reported (see GSC6(2000)09 and presentation). It was noted that the
preparation for (prior to) and the meetings of the GSC are well organized, and that the timeframe
in-between meetings is not well used. The contribution received many positive comments and
was supported, and Mr. LEE was thanked for providing the well-written contribution. Although this
contribution mainly discusses the follow up of HIS areas, it was noted that the follow-up process
for resolutions after the GSC meetings is also important to ensure that the resolutions are
maintained. Mr. LEE proposed to name a rapporteur for each of the resolutions and for each of
the HIS areas. It was generally accepted that each relevant GSC resolution should have a
rapporteur. However, concerns were expressed that proposed rapporteurship for each HIS would
be too heavy and it was recognized that the proposal needs enhancement to lighten the load of
rapporteurs while achieving sufficiently effective follow up. Mr. LEE agreed to be the rapporteur to
elaborate a more feasible approach in following up HIS areas.
Mr. Kazunori MATSUO distributed the HIS contact list to each SDO so that the contact information
may be updated.
The GSC6 meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m., 30 August 2000.

Reports and Proposals for Decision
11.1
Report from IPR Group
Mr. Kenji NAEMURA, Chair of IPR Group, reported on the output of the IPR Working Group
meeting (GSC6(2000)44R1) which also included a proposed draft resolution. Four main items
were discussed on the agenda of the IPR meeting. Mr. ZHAO noted that some developing
countries have expressed concerns on the treatment of patent issues, which might affect the
SDO’s patent policy in the future.
From a practical implementation point of view, Mr. BART and Mr. ZHAO expressed the need for
ITU and PSOs to update IPR contact of IPR holders since names of companies and contact
persons often change.
Mr. ROSENBROCK questioned whether this GSC IPR WG needed to meet again since the ITU-T
is in the final phase of development of its software copyright policy. Mr. NAEMURA noted that the
members of the group expressed interest in meeting again and felt the exchange of information
was useful.
Also, Mr. NAEMURA noted that he will serve as the moderator of the email reflector for the group
until the next GSC meeting. It was agreed that it was difficult at this point of time to determine the
need for a meeting in November 2001, and that the host of the next GSC, ACIF, will seek
affirmation that the PSOs require another meeting by the end of July 2001. If no responses are
received from the participants, then the IPR WG will not have a meeting at the next GSC. If a
positive indication is received, then the IPR WG will be scheduled at the next GSC.
The meeting report (GSC6(2000)44R1) and the proposed resolution designated GSC6/10:
Intellectual Property Rights were approved with the suggested modifications.
11.2 Report from EWG Group
Mr. Tatsuo SHIBATA, Chair of Electronic Working Methods Group, reported on the output of the
IPR Working Group meeting (GSC6(2000)46) which also included a proposed draft resolution.
Various PSOs are using electronic distribution for standards development and balloting, as well
as for standards delivery. Additionally, Annex 3 of the WTO Agreement and its implications for
electronic delivery were discussed. Lastly, the EWG noted the value of exchanging information on
electronic tools between GSC meetings, and will use the email reflector moderated by Mr.
SHIBATA.
GSC agreed to the continuation of the EWG Group.
The EWG meeting report (GSC6(2000)46) and the proposed resolution designated GSC6/11:
Electronic Document Handling Methods were approved with the suggested modifications.
11.3 Report from Users Group

HLTF5(95)1
GSC6 (2000) 49
25 October 2000
Mr. Hajime YAMADA, Chair of Users Group, reported on the output of the User Working Group
meeting (GSC6(2000)43) which also included a proposed draft resolution. Several presentations
were made and participants discussed how to increase the awareness of residential consumers.
Professor KIKUCHI, guest speaker explained that ISO and IEC decided to have an umbrella
standard/guideline on the needs of older persons and people with disabilities.
GSC agreed to the continuation of the UWG Group. Additionally, it was confirmed that each WG
chair of GSC6 is responsible for following up on activity of his group until the next GSC meeting
occurs, and should serve as moderator of the WG email exploder list until the next GSC meeting
occurs.
The UWG meeting report (GSC6(2000)43) and the proposed resolution designated GSC6/9:
User Interest in Standardization were approved with the suggested modifications.
11.4 Report from RAST#9
Mr. Akio SASAKI, Chair of RAST9, presented a summary of the output of the RAST9 meeting
(RAST9(2000)53) and the RAST Resolutions (RAST9(2000)54). Follow up on the Resolutions of
RAST 8 occurred as agreed upon in Williamsburg, seven new resolutions were produced, a draft
agenda for RAST-10 was produced, and high interest subjects were modified. Clarification of
revised high interest subjects was requested. The modifications are as follows:
EMC and Health Effects divided into 2 topics:
EMC
Electromagnetic Health Effects
Fixed Wireless Access/Radio Local Area Networks renamed, clarified and divided into 2
topics:
Fixed Wireless Access Systems and Broadband Wireless Systems
Low Power License Exempt Radio Devices
The RAST9 meeting summary (RAST9(2000)53) and its associated resolutions (see Agenda
Item 16 for summary and ANNEX G for complete text) were approved with the suggested
modifications.
11.5 Report from GSC#6
Chairman KITAMI presented a summary of the output of the GSC6 meeting (GSC6(2000)47)
He reported that all the GSC6 results were covered by the GSC Resolutions to be approved and
reports of WGs and Ad-hoc.
Especially, agreement was reached on topics which generated much discussion in the opening
plenary such as IMT-2000, WTSA-2000 endorsement, ITU reform and the role of the Partnership
Projects with the ITU. Corresponding resolutions were introduced and modified for clarification.
Furthermore, the importance of Internet Protocol (IP) to both fixed and wireless
telecommunications was emphasized and a resolution was introduced and modified.
The meeting summary (GSC6(2000)47) and the proposed resolutions designated GSC6/1,
- 17 -
HLTF5(95)1
GSC6 (2000) 49
25 October 2000
GSC6/2, GSC 6/3, GSC6/4 and GSC 6/5 were approved with the suggested modifications.
12 What conclusions can be drawn out of the former items?
12.1
To cooperate better?
Peter DARLING who drafted Resolution GSC6/5 referenced Section 12.5 of GSC4 minutes and
noted that it was agreed the category of participant “Liaison Organization” be removed. He
suggested that this decision be revisited of defining categories of participation. In particular, it is
important that an organization such as the Internet Engineering Task Force to have a
classification that indicates an active role rather than a passive role. It was felt that classifying the
IETF as an observer may have discouraged its participation in GSC6.
It was decided to reinstate the participant category “Liaison Organization” and to classify the
categories of participants for GSC and RAST as:
1)
Participating Standards Organizations (PSOs)
2)
ITU and its sectors (ITU-T, ITU-R)
3)
Liaison Organizations (ATM-F, IETF, JTC1, etc.)
4)
Observers
Based on this classification, it was agreed to invite ASTAP to join GSC as a Liaison Organization
and APT as an observer to future meetings.
It was noted that the output of GSC and RAST often require a champion to ensure that output is
enacted and that collaboration among PSOs is desired to ensure favorable outcome. To
overcome this problem, it was recommended that a rapporteur, when appropriate, be designated
for each relevant resolution. The resolution designated GSC6/6: Collaboration on
Implementation of Meeting Results of GSC/RAST was approved with modification.
12.2
To avoid unnecessary parallel work?
It was agreed that common high interest subjects avoid duplicity in the GSC/RAST meetings and
that IMT-2000 should be listed as common High Interest Subject
Additionally, it was agreed to use common terminology between GSC and RAST for the concept
of High Interest Subject. At times, High Interest Area has been used by RAST. RAST will now
use the terminology High Interest Subject instead of High Interest Area.
It was also agreed that common Information Sharing Subjects for both GSC and RAST would be
Identification and Location Services and Digital Subscriber Lines.
Resolutions designated GSC6/7: High Interest Subjects and GSC6/8: Information Sharing
Subjects reflect these decisions, provide descriptions of the subjects and were approved. ANNEX
E and ANNEX F show the contacts for each PSO.
13
Key points pertinent to the ITU
Since all of the key points pertinent to ITU were well covered by the Resolutions approved,
including those on IMT2000, WTSA-2000 and ITU Reform, and by the agreed GSC/RAST
approach on Common Exhibition, no further discussion was made on this subject.

Common Exhibitions
A draft correspondence to Secretary General of ITU, Mr. Yoshio UTSUMI (GSC6(2000)45)
requesting common exhibition space for GSC at ITU shows was reviewed and modified. It was
agreed that Chairman KITAMI would send the correspondence on behalf of GSC. Mr. ZHAO
noted for the record that it would be quite difficult for the ITU to respond favorably to this request
since the space is sold on a commercial price with high competition and the space is quite limited
at ITU shows. However, he promised to bring this request back to ITU for further consideration
and he would support the request if there exists any chance for a favorable solution.
15
Any Other Business
The proposal contained in "Role of GSC/RAST Secretariat and Host" GSC6(2000)35 was
already accepted by the Head of Delegation meeting on August 28 as the operating principle after
this GSC/RAST meeting, and no further discussion was necessary.

Closure of the meeting
Ms. Johanna PLANTE, ACIF, proposed to begin the next GSC/RAST (GSC7/RAST10) meetings
from Sunday, 4 November (which would begin the Head of Delegation meeting) through Friday, 9
November 2001, in Sydney, Australia. It was decided by the GSC participants that it was only
necessary to hold the meeting until Thursday, 8 November. Ms. PLANTE and Mr. DARLING
looked forward to everyone attending the 2001 meeting in Sydney.
Dr. HORTON noted that the Asia Pacific Telecommunications Standardization Program (ASTAP)
would be meeting the week prior to the 2001 GSC7/RAST10 meeting, with the ASTAP meetings
beginning on October 30, 2001.
The next GSC7/RAST10 meeting will be hosted by ACIF in Sydney, Australia on
November 5-8, 2001. With no further business to discuss, Chairman KITAMI thanked everyone
for their enthusiastic participation and closed the meeting.
