It is understood that, due to
the specificity of the internet, of the digital convergence and
of the new generation networks, such a Focus Group may lead to
the identification of the way the ITU should interface the Internet/Intelligent
uniquity Sector tentatively called "I-Sector". It is
also an absolute requirement that such a Focus Group complies
with the internet style culture which will most pobably develop
trough the "upper layers" in the decade to come:
- in being open to the widest
participation of all the concerned stakeholders and members of
the other ITU Sectors,
- in working by consensus, understood
as a pre-existing agreement to discuss topics as necessary to
find a solution acceptable to all participants
- in not requiring a financial
contribution from participants and in openly and freely publishing
its documents.

Status
of the Draft
The document
this WG intends to propose. |
|
The Members of the PrepTeam
are co-opted with the target to gather a motivated, competent
and diversified panel able to carry out rapidly the task of documenting
the terms of reference (ToR) of such an open ITU Focus Group
and to present it for the approval of the ITU-T focus group review
committee, in this case including the Chairman of ITU-T Study
Group 2 (see 2.1.1 of ITU-T Recommendation A.7). |

Such a ToR will document |

|
|
|
|
|
|
- the mandate of the Focus
Group as indicated above.
|
|
|
Working
Methods |
|
- the urgent interest in
this Focus Group by ITU members and the urgency of a coordinated,
stable and secure innovation of the Internet towards the new
generation networks, specially within the framework of the WSIS.
|
|
|
|
- the working methods of
the Focus Group. It will focus:
- specially on the methods to
analyze and reach a consensus among the diversified interests
of persons and organizations, and address the problem of their
different sizes.
- on the proposal of an open group
management network system which could serve as a reference to
the internet governance and to the various distributed working
groups of the ITU. In this it will probably want to take advantage
of the pool of competence on this very topic gathered by such
a working group.
- It will also define the way
contributions from different on-line management system providers
should be used in a complementary way and aimed at a de facto,
experienced-based, common governance management standard with
the following priorities
- to support a culture of transparency
- to organize a shared documentation
- to work on a simplified decision
process
- in a multilingual and multilateral
environment.
|
|
|
|
|
- the deliverables of the
Focus Group are:
- an on-going innovative description
of the I-Sector, of its targets in terms of number of supported
users and user agents, and of service diversity
- the proposal for the possible
organization of an ITU I-Sector in a consensual manner, open
to all its members - as an ITU interface to the so called I-Sector's
world/
- a development path towards a
stable, reliable, secure and innovation oriented international
communications, information and services network continuity able
to meet the challenges of the 20 years to come
- a global network description
model to jointly understand and plan the responses to the technical,
societal and political evolution of the world and of the users
demand.
- a proposal for the relationships
of the Focus Group with the other sectors of the ITU as well
as the description and the role of the relations of the Focus
Group with the various bodies of the international and national
governances, such as ICANN, IAB/IETF, W3C, ISOC, MINC, WIPO,
WTO, UNESCO, NetAids, Edifact, States, users and consumer organizations,
etc.
- a time scale for the Focus Group.
It will try to take into account the WSIS timescale and resolutions,
and to match the current evolution of the internet (IPv6, IDNs,
security, dot-root, scSLDs support, Multilingualism, US Government
and European network development plans, integration with other
services such as telephone, domotic, teleurbanism, e-learning,
telemedecine, etc).
- a precise description of the
way the members of the Focus Group will be welcomed and supported.
The intent is to allow open participation in the Focus Group
of any individual from a country that is a member of ITU who
wishes to contribute to the work. This includes individuals who
are also members of international, regional and national organizations.
|
|
|
|
|
- determine the way the Focus
Group shall be promoted and will publish its works, to
carry an efficient outreach and to be accepted and joined by
the widest number of stakeholders. Such stakeholders shall come
from the ITU existing Sectors as well as from the I Sector and
from the extended services areas. This will result in a mutually
fruitful cooperation with the other ITU Sectors to the benefit
of the Internet and next generation networks communities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- organize and document the financing
of the Focus Group, the support required from the ITU and the
way it will be subsidized
