The ITU-T will hold a workshop on NGN (Next Generation Network) together with the IETF 1-2 May, 2005, Geneva, Switzerland. Attendance is open to all IETF participants and is free of charge. The deadline for registration is 15 April 2005. Registration and other information is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/ngn/200505/index.html (Be sure to look at the convening letter for more links). The workshop will also serve as an important meeting point for ITU-T and IETF management. The overall objectives of the workshop are to explore specific NGN issues that impact both the ITU-T and the IETF to better understand the work underway in the two organizations and to identify areas where actions could be taken between the ITU-T and IETF to further coordinate their work. Six sessions will each be co-chaired by an ITU representative and an IETF representative. Topics will include (not final) requirements and functional architecture; nomadicity and mobility; QoS, control and signalling capabilities; network management; security capabilities, and evolution. Objectives: o To explore specific NGN issues that impact both the ITU-T and the IETF to better understand the work underway in the two organizations; and o To identify those areas where actions could be taken between the ITU-T and the IETF to further should coordinate their NGN-related work, and to seek to reach agreement on any actions to be taken to coordinate the work of the two organizations and perhaps establish joint activities.
