XX Meeting of COM/CITEL will be held in San Jose, Costa Rica from December 3 to 5, 2008

Mandate:

To focus on the study of standards that are necessary for the smooth transition to Next Generation Networks (NGN). To address issues relating to the convergence of existing networks in a way that maintains interoperability across the Region. To make specific recommendations (Standards Coordination Documents, Technical Notebooks, etc.) that best serve the current and future needs of the users of these networks throughout the Region.

Terms of Reference:

Identify and evaluate technical issues related to the service, architecture and protocol standards required for the interconnectivity and interoperability of existing and future communications networks (wireline and wireless) across the Region that will ultimately result in the emergence of a single, seamless network.

Draw primarily on the work of existing standards-setting bodies, including the ITU-T, IETF, and other fora as appropriate.

Recommend endorsement of standards that deal with, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Multimedia service definition and architectures;

Signalling requirements and protocols (converged networks);

IP-based services (Voice over IP, Video over IP, etc.);

Emergency services;

Network aspects of IMT-2000 and beyond (wireless Internet, harmonization and convergence, network control, mobility, roaming, etc.);

Interworking between traditional telecommunication networks and evolving networks;

Metropolitan and Long haul optical transport networks;

Access network transport (LANs, xDSL, Ethernet, cable modem, fiber, Wireless LANs, etc.);

Terminals (PC, TV, PDA, phone, codecs, etc.);

Management of communications services, networks and equipment;

Communications system security (lawful intercept, privacy, fraud prevention, cyber crime, sabotage, etc.);

Numbering, Naming and Addressing (ENUM);

Performance and QoS;

Develop Technical Notebooks that best serve the current and future needs of the users of telecommunications networks throughout the Region;

Identify, on a timely and ongoing basis, obstacles that could prevent full interoperability of networks throughout the Americas and to report on these to the Working Group on Technology;

Establish liaisons with other standards bodies and industry fora as necessary to progress the work
