Liaisons • Generate contributions: • RFC’s • TD’s • Submit contributions to standards bodies: • ITU-T • IETF • ETSI TIPHON • TTC • TIA
We need simple working rules... • Work can not be hold up, because of lack of agreed and documented IMTC working rules • Rules shall be very simple, should support work progress, shall not provide bureaucratic barriers • Let us agree now. If in practice not practical, - based on feedback we will adjust them, asap. • Proposal: Rules shall be „in force“ right from now. • The following proposed rules are based on principles used by other standards bodies / fora:
How to „liaise“? • WG, AGs should „liaise“ (e.g. a requirement list, a reported bug from interop) as autonomous units „peer to peer“ (e.g. AG vs. ITU-T Rapp. Group; WG vs ITU-T WP; IMTC vs ITU SG) in their own responsibility and only in their name. „Best delivery“ according to the rules of the resp. External bodies. • Group prepares liaison by consensus work, group leader puts up for voting when „mature enough“ (he decides) • Approval of the liaison by „consensus“ at a F2F meeting, or • Open electronic approval process of the liasion (7 days notice over the respective E-mail reflector; 51% approval sent to the Secretariat needed of those members who have replied) • Liaison sent / received / logged / documented / archived by the IMTC Secretariat, who act as formal liaison contacts (a suitable technical IMTC contact named should also be added).
How to submit contributions to external bodies? • WG, AGs should submit contributions (e.g. a draft standard, an IMTC profile) as autonomous units „peer to peer“ (e.g. AG vs. ITU-T Rapp. Group; WG vs ITU-T WP; IMTC vs ITU SG) in their own responsibility and only in their name. „Best delivery“ according to rules of the ext. Bodies. • Group prepares contribution by consensus work, group leader puts up for voting when „mature enough“ (he decides) • Approval of contribution by „consensus“ at a F2F meeting, or • Open electronic approval process of the contribution (7 days notice over the respective E-mail reflector; 51% approval sent to the Secretariat needed of those IMTC members who have replied) • Contribution sent / received / logged / documented / archived by the IMTC Secretariat, who act as formal liaison contacts (a suitable technical IMTC contact named should also be added).

Working method needed • Goal: focusing, to avoid „aging“ of groups • When to set up an AG group? • When to declare it closed? • What when „critical mass“ too low for too long? • What is results are coming out too slow? And not enough contributions? • Look at the IETF (closing down a group is a signal of success – „work done“ – and not a signal of „national disaster“)
