recognizing
In regards to the Global Information Infrastructure
(GII)
a) that national/regional standardization
bodies have national/regional roles, and information
is shared through the GSC.
b) that the standards aspects of GII
should be addressed at a global level through
the established /existing global bodies.

the ITU/ISO/IEC and others, have taken place
since GSC-2
e) that a representative at the JTC1
was invited to attend GSC-3 (Kyongju, 1996)
and participated in the discussions
noting
that as GII will continue to be a very significant
part of discussions at GSC-4 to be held in
Nice, March/April, 1998.

RESOLUTION 2 (Kyungju) : Relations with Forums
and Consortia
The Global Standards Collaboration meeting
(Kyongju, 1996),
recalled that
In regards to relations with the Forums and
Consortia
a) that at their first meeting in Melbourne
in March 1994, GSC had established several
working principles which encouraged exchanges
of information with Forums and Consortia ,
and
b) that the results of a comprehensive
survey by the Telecommunication Technology
Committee of Japan (TTC) were presented at
GSC-2 in Ottawa,
c) that GSC-2 had resolved to continue
to explore relationships and to report on
their experiences at the next meeting in Kyongju.
As a consequence, at the GSC-3 the results
were reported and in particular a revised
version of the survey was presented in Kyongju
by the TTC of Japan.
and reached the following conclusions :
a) the GSC partners recognize that
the Forums and Consortia are a growing and
important part of the dynamic communications
environment.
b) the partners welcome the presence
of Forums and Consortia as a major mechanism
for providing input from users and other sources
to the development of communications standards,
and for assisting early implementation of
standards after they have been developed .
c) The GSC partners strongly support
the development of links between themselves
and appropriate Forums, and support the moves
in ITU-Telecommunication Standardization Advisory
Group (TSAG) to build a mechanism for communications
between Study Group and those Forums and Consortia
working in related areas.
d) the GSC partners note that the majority
of Forums and Consortia will be users of the
standards produced by the GSC partners, the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
and other international Standardization organizations,
and that Forums are a unique source of information
on user requirements for standards.
e) in particular, the GSC partners
noted the importance of the work of the ATM
Forum, the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) and the Digital Audio-Visual Council
(DAVIC) in relation to standards development.
and
it was also noted that a limited number of
the Forum and Consortia produce specifications
which should be considered for adoption in
the development of standards.
resolves
1) relationships with these particular
Forums and Consortia should also promote coordination
to minimize overlapping activities and hence
maximize the use of the limited resources
available for standards production.
2) GSC partners should provide to the
TTC any revisions they may have to the survey.

RESOLUTION 3 (Kyungju) : Conformity Assessment
and Quality of Standards
The Global Standards Collaboration meeting
(Kyongju, 1996),
recognizing
In regards to Conformity Assessment and Quality
of Standards
a) the standards community make full
use of the available computer-aided techniques
in the development and application of protocol
and conformance testing standards.
b) the ETSI guide [Making better standards,
practical ways to greater efficiency and success]
is a useful source of information on this
topic
concludes
a) Formal Description Technique can
cover those difficulties in Traditional Test
Methods, and also use of FDTs can make automation
possible.
b) GSC PSOs should take more interest
in Interconnectivity and Interoperability
Testing.
resolves
1) to adopt Formal Description Techniques
(FDT) and Validation and Verification (V&V)
in the standardization process. A complete
standard should contain four factors which
are Standards/Specification expressed in FDT,
an Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS),
a Proforma and an Abstract Test Suite (ATS).
2) that Interoperability and Interconnectivity
testing should be considered as one important
factor of Conformity Assessment.
that [Concurrent Standardization] is for further
study.

RESOLUTION 4 (Kyungju) : Intellectual Property
Rights
The Global Standards Collaboration meeting
(Kyongju, 1996),
Noting
In regards to Intellectual Property Rights
a) that at its first GSC-1 meeting
(Melbourne), the PSOs resolved to continue
their exchanges of information and sharing
of experience in relation to policies and
procedures for Intellectual Property Rights
(IPR).
b) that the second GSC-2 (Ottawa) resolved
to continue the exchange of information and
sharing of experiences on this matter and
to report at a future GSC meeting, and
c) that recent experiences in various
standards organizations on Patent and Copyright
matters have shown the increasing importance,
as well as difficulty, in handling the IPRs
associated with standards;
resolves
1) that the GSC PSOs continue to exchange
ideas, information and suggestions on policies
and procedures for handling patents and other
intellectual property rights related to standards,
2) that more attention be given to
the copyright status of input documents and
that each PSO provide a clear statement of
policy for licensing the copyright of the
documents it publishes, and
3) that the PSOs name Experts to form
and ad hoc e-mail group jointly with the TSAG
Ad-hoc group on Patent Matters for the purposes
of information exchange and informal discussion
by correspondence.

RESOLUTION 5 (Kyungju) : EDH
The Global Standards Collaboration meeting
(Kyongju, 1996),
Recognizing
in regards to collaboration among the Participating
Standardization Organizations that EDH methods
have proved most useful in carrying out liaison
among PSOs on priority issues
considering
that it has been a long standing objective
of the GSC to employ EDH for its information
sharing needs
resolves
that PSO members make every efforts to use
the GSC Server, provided by ETSI, to support
the GSC information sharing objectives.

RESOLUTION 6 (Kyongju) : High Interest Subjects
and Areas of General Interest
The Global Standards Collaboration meeting
(Kyongju, 1996),
Recognizing
In regards to collaboration among the Participating
Standardization Organizations on high interest
subjects and areas of general interest
a) that priority consideration has
been given to seven high interest subjects,
B-ISDN, IN, SDH/SONET, TMN, UPT, FPLMTS and
Multimedia,
b) that liaison rapporteurs have been
identified by PSOs to facilitate ongoing collaboration
efforts ,
c) that EDH methods have proved most
useful in carrying out liaison among PSOs
on priority issues;
d) that the intensity of the SDH/SONET
standards activity has abated.
e) that several issues regarding UPT
and FPLMTS have converged.
f) that wireless aspects of Intelligent
Networks are attracting great attention.
considering
a) that GSC-3 reviewed the status of
activities on the high interest subjects,
and concluded that collaboration should continue
on them as deemed appropriate by the PSOs,
b) that GSC-3 confirmed two areas of
general interest, Global Information Infrastructure
(GII) and Conformity Assessment for ongoing
collaboration;
resolves
1) to discontinue SDH/SONET as a high
interest subjects.
2) to merge UPT and FPLMTS into a single
high interest subject
3) to expand to IN high interest subject
to include Wireless Intelligent Networks (WIN)
4) to continue to give priority to
five high interest subjects : B-ISDN, IN/WIN,
TMN, Mobility (UPT/FPLMTS), and Multimedia.
5) to continue to give priority to
the two areas of general interest : GII and
Conformity Assessment. |
