  planned for Consent in the last quarter 2002,
  containing references to all recognized SDOs,
  were substantially progressed.
• The ITU-T components of the IMT-2000 Handbook,
  expected to be submitted to the SSG plenary in
  November for Study Group approval (as a
  supplement), was extensively reviewed.

• Developed substantial focus on work topics
  required to progress the activities on
  Harmonization, Convergence and related areas.
• Reviewed security aspects and laid groundwork for
  further efforts in this essential area.
• Established that further work on IMTEM is not
  needed at this time.

Key results from Q.8/SSG

• Refined draft revised Recommendation A.9
  addressing a number of aspects towards improving
  the working procedures for the SSG and with
  potential application to other ITU-T Study
  Groups
• Developed a Liaison Statement to TSAG, as given
  in TD PLEN/SSG-49, which includes a revision of
  Recommendation A.9, for their review and further
  guidance, together with some concerns on
  technical specifications expressed in the
  plenary.
