Interconnection &
Security Committee
(ISC)
SCOPE/GOAL: The Interconnection & Security Committee is focused on the
technical development, maintenance and evolution of NG9-1-1 systems
architecture, both for real-time interfaces within the ESInet as well as those
external interfaces into the system. These would include aspects such as
system management, architecture and interfaces definitions. The committee
also oversees the technical integration and operational impacts of existing and
newly formed security (encryption, authentication etc.) technologies on the
overall ‘system’.
DIRECTION: The Interconnection & Security Committee is now finalizing
the work for i3 v2 and continuing to discuss issues regarding emerging topics
and security through regular weekly conference calls and meetings.
CURRENT STATUS OF WGs as of 11/30/2015:
All Interconnection & Security Committee members are currently involved in
one or more of the working groups (below) described in greater detail further
on in the document.

Subcommittee
(NGAE SC)
SCOPE/GOAL: The mission of the NG9-1-1 Architecture Evolution
Subcommittee is to define issues that involve the ESInet architecture, as well
as the i3 functional elements that ride on it and their associated interfaces. It
is also expected to handle both the evolution of the i3 ESInet and
interconnection with evolving originating and PSAP networks.
DIRECTION Through weekly meetings of its component WGs, the NG9-11 Architecture Evolution Subcommittee is working toward the generation of
specifications that address the evolution of the base i3 architecture, with a
specific focus on the development and deployment of forest guides to support
the validation of location information and the routing of emergency calls.
CURRENT STATUS OF WGs as of 11/30/2015:
All NG9-1-1 Architecture Evolution Subcommittee members are currently
involved in one or more of the working groups described in greater detail
below.

Subcommittee, i3
Architecture
Working Group
SCOPE/GOAL: The mission of the i3 Architecture Working Group is to
create and maintain the base i3 technical specifications, as well as other
specifications to support activities of other NENA committees, such as the
NG9-1-1 Transition Planning Subcommittee. This includes the maintenance
and update (as appropriate) of the following NENA base i3 specifications:
 NENA 08-751, NENA i3 Technical Requirements Document
 NENA 08-002, NENA Functional and Interface Standards for Next
Generation 9-1-1 Version 1.0 (i3)
 NENA 08-003, Detailed Functional and Interface Specification for
the NENA i3 Solution – Stage 3
It also includes the generation of a NENA deliverable addressing the Legacy
Selective Router Gateway.
The near-term goal of i3 Architecture Working Group is to complete the
update of the i3 Stage 3 standard (NENA-STA-010.2, formerly NENA 08003) by the end of 3Q2015. The i3 Architecture Working Group has also
resumed work on the development of a document that describes the functions
and interfaces of the Legacy Selective Router Gateway (LSRG) with a target
completion date of 4Q2015.
DIRECTION The i3 Architecture WG will achieve the goals described
above through weekly conference calls and the active participation and
contribution of its members.
CURRENT STATUS OF WG as of 11/30/2015:
The i3 Architecture Working Group has completed its initial review of over
1,000 public comments. The working group is now considering a number of
text contributions to provide a resolution to a number of those comments, as
well as working with the GIS Data Structures WG to harmonize both pending
documents. We hope to finish this review and submit for a second public
review of the substantive changes by year's end.
In addition, the WG has begun review of a contribution proposing updates to
the draft Legacy Selective Router Gateway standard.

Subcommittee, NonMobile Wireless and
Broadband
Connectivity for 9-11 WG
SCOPE/GOAL: This Work Group will: (1) Analyze current Wireless Home
Phone (WHP) deployments with regard to wireline and Interconnected VoIP
E9-1-1 parity for devices that are not generally mobile and provide as
appropriate new recommended NENA standards to allow the most precise
location information. (2) Analyze current Femtocells and Small Cell
deployments in regard to wireline and Interconnected VoIP E9-1-1 parity for
devices that are not generally mobile and provide as appropriate new
recommended NENA standards to allow the most precise location
information. (3) Analyze the greater growing use of CMRS wireless
handsets with Wi-Fi voice capability or Wi-Fi only handsets for indoor Wi-Fi
calling situations that are not generally mobile and the current default to
wireless E9-1-1 Phase 1 and Phase 2 calling. (4) Analyze other similar
current and near-term potentially problematic cases and expected new
situations, and either include in a standard to formally establish expected
methods or define for additional future work.
DIRECTION The NMW-BCC WG has conducted regular meetings with the
goal of the group to produce an information document covering the three
areas outlined in the scope.
CURRENT STATUS as of 11/30/2015:
Authoring Committee Review completed 9/18/2015. WG addressing 52
individual comments and 2 Word documents with comments.
Have substantially re-written the document in response to the comments.
Need to confirm with the Working Group on when we expect to have a new
consensus revised document based on the adjusting and re-writing.
WG has also been working with the new Class of Service standards WG
given the large overlap in many issues.

Emerging Topics
Subcommittee
SCOPE/GOAL: The Emerging Topics Sub-Committee is responsible for
developing standards, requirements documents or information documents for
all issues related to future products and services that may affect 9-1-1. The
committee’s goal is to monitor industry, science, and technology activities for
any such items with implication for 9-1-1, research possible impact and draft
appropriate documents that can be forwarded to other NENA Committee's or
regulatory and industry standard organizations in order to ensure all devices
may access 9-1-1 anytime and anywhere. The Sub-Committee pools the
respective knowledge of its members to understand new operations and/or
technology implications, bring appropriate updates to the attention of the 9-11 community and describe the impact on emergency call services.
DIRECTION The FirstNet Interoperability WG is defining the relationship
between NG9-1-1 and FirstNet. Documentation is being developed that
identifies how attributes available in NG9-1-1 are made available to First
Responders and identifies how FirstNet secondary users interact with NG9-11 and PSAPs.
CURRENT STATUS as of 11/30/2015:
Regular calls are occurring on a monthly basis. The Subcommittee is
reviewing NENA 07-504. Automatic Collision Notification & Vehicle
Telematics Information Document, for possible updates.
