• To explore changes to the environment, including new and future
technologies, the impact of market place and/or regulatory changes

assignment approaches and future telephone number assignment
requirements. The Working Group will identify common criteria and
gather data to identify trends and their impact upon numbering
resources. The Working Group, if necessary, will analyze

Subcommittee Updates
– FTN 4: Geographic Issues
• The Geographic Numbering sub-committee is discussing the consumer perspective and
service implications regarding the geography of toll-free call routing and the decoupling or
disassociation of numbers from geography.

which was shared with the FoN WG upon completion and was subsequently approved.
The white paper has been shared with the NANC members and will be presented
separately.

All IP Addressing sub-committee was created to define future identifiers in support of IP
