Strategic Direction
GSC16-PLEN-66
• Focus on regional (North American) needs of
LI/LAES
• Work within, and in response to, legal and
regulatory framework (per USA CALEA law
and related FCC regulations, and Canadian
regulations)
• Work proactively to support law
enforcement’s needs (per reasonable
changes and direction)
• Coordinate/collaborate with other
organizations where appropriate (e.g., TIA)

Challenges
GSC16-PLEN-66
• Working at the nexus where law, regulation, technology,
and standards come together
• Delivering standards to satisfy aggressive regulatory
mandate target dates such that reliable implementations
can be deployed (per target dates)
• Determining what is “reasonable” to proactively support
law enforcement’s needs (while not crossing the line of
interpreting law or regulation)
• Change management of LI/LAES standards, e.g.:
• Separating implementation guidelines from necessary
changes to safe-harbor standards
• FCC petition process

Next Steps/Actions
GSC16-PLEN-66
• Complete currently defined work program
• Continue appropriate changes to current
standards suite
• Respond (at appropriate time) to the
expectation of more information from FCC
regarding J-STD-025B and possibly other
NGN related LI/LAES standards
• Continue with cross-organizational
coordination and collaboration

GSC16-PLEN-66
General Drivers for LI/LAES
Drivers:
• Stimulated by passage of the U.S. 1994
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
(CALEA)
• FCC Mandates
• Law Enforcement and National Security needs
• “Safe Harbor”
– Something (as a statutory or regulatory provision) that
provides protection (as from a penalty or liability).

PTSC Mission/Scope
GSC16-PLEN-66
• Packet Technologies and Systems Committee
(PTSC)
– http://www.atis.org/0191/index.asp
– Mission: PTSC develops and recommends standards and technical
reports related to services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to
related subjects under consideration in other North American and
international standards bodies.
– Scope:
• Coordinates and develops standards and technical reports relevant
to telecommunications networks in the U.S.
• Reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission
to U.S. ITU-T and U.S. ITU-R Study Groups or other standards
organizations.
• Reviews for acceptability or per contra the positions of other
countries in related standards development and takes or
recommends appropriate actions.

GSC16-PLEN-66
PTSC LAES Mission/Scope
•
PTSC Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance Subcommittee
(PTSC LAES)
– Mission: The PTSC LAES Subcommittee develops and recommends
standards, technical requirements and technical reports related to
Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) of packet-mode
technologies in a wireline environment.
– Scope: Coordinates and develops standards, technical requirements,
technical reports and other documents relevant to LAES of packet-mode
technology in telecommunications networks in the U.S., taking
advantage of standards development progress in other standards
organizations, e.g., IETF, WTSC and ETSI. In as much as the
development of standards may be evolved or influenced by several
ATIS technical committees/forums, PTSC and the PTSC LAES
Subcommittee will maintain liaisons with appropriate ATIS
committees/forums, as well as with standards-setting bodies, external to
ATIS and will adopt other SDO standards as appropriate.

WTSC Mission/Scope
•
GSC16-PLEN-66
Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC)
– http://www.atis.org/0160/index.asp
– Mission: WTSC develops and recommends standards and technical
reports related to wireless and/or mobile services and systems,
including service descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC
develops and recommends positions on related subjects under
consideration in other North American, regional and international
standards bodies.
– Scope: WTSC coordinates and develops standards and technical
reports primarily relevant to wireless/mobile telecommunications
networks in the U.S. and reviews and prepares contributions on such
matters for submission to the appropriate U.S. preparatory body for
consideration as ITU contributions or for submission to other domestic
and regional standards organizations. WTSC will maintain liaison with
other ATIS Committees as well as external fora as appropriate. WTSC
will coordinate closely with other standards developing organizations
(e.g., ITU-R, TIA, IEEE, ETSI) on wireless issues to ensure that the
work programs are complementary.

WTSC LI Mission/Scope
•
GSC16-PLEN-66
WTSC Lawful Intercept Subcommittee (WTSC LI)
– Mission: WTSC LI develops, maintains, amends, and enhances American National
Standards and other WTSC deliverables related to lawful intercept within the GSM family
(GSM/EGPRS/UMTS). This work may be done within WTSC LI or may be done in close
cooperation with other U.S., regional, and international standards and specifications groups
to ensure that respective standards and specifications for the GSM family meet North
American regulatory and commercial requirements.
– Scope: WTSC LI provides the following functions and capabilities:
• Formulate positions in support of WTSC objectives.
• Coordinates activities relevant to U.S., regional, and international standards and
specifications activities including:
• Preparation, review and presentation of contributions as proposed US positions for
submission to international standards bodies such as ITU-T;
• Establish appropriate mechanisms and coordinate contributions and positions that
support WTSC objectives with other relevant committees and organizations (e.g., other
US, regional, and international standards and specifications fora).
• Evaluate proposals for lawful intercept capabilities within the GSM family.
• Transpose 3GPP lawful intercept deliverables into WTSC deliverables.
• Develop and coordinate appropriate inputs regarding lawful intercept aspects that
impact or are impacted by IMT-2000 services.
