Meeting Overview

• Up to some 70 attendees
• 25 input documents
• Three High Interest Subjects, with revisions of
  respective Resolutions
• NGN General (ETSI) (GSC-14/10)
• Cybersecurity (ATIS) (GSC-14/11)
• Home Networking (ITU) (GSC-14/12)
• New proposed Draft-Resolution Interoperability
  (GSC-CL-33)

NGN (ETSI)

• Presentations
• Contributions GSC14-GTSC7-05, -09, -15, -21,
  -25R1, -16
• Summary
• Foster co-operation.
• Interoperability continues to be important to
  NGN.
• Demand of adequate Quality of Service and
  security reconfirmed.
• The evolution of the NGN is driven by innovations
  in user applications and network capabilities.
• Global operation of NGN services including
  converged services.
• Guidance is needed on mechanisms to enhance
  interoperability without compromising innovation
  and timely standards development and deployment.
• Rich content and features be delivered to end
  users so that they can benefit from them in their
  daily life.
• Facilitate interoperability, innovation, market
  competition and infrastructure development to
  address user needs in a timely and cost effective
  basis.
• Converged policy management across a range of
  access technologies, in the context of Common
  IMS.
• Resolution
• After extensive discussion, consensus emerged to
• Charge a drafting group with merging the
  Resolution Next Generation Networks (NGN) and the
  draft Resolution NGN Interoperability
  (GSC-PLEN-062 by TTC). The revised Resolution
  NGN (GCS-PLEN-17) was submitted by the drafting
  group to the GSC-14 closing plenary for approval.
• Charge a separate drafting group to see if it
  could reach consensus on a potentially new
  Resolution on Interoperability (with a broader
  scope than just NGN Interoperability) the new
  draft Resolution Interoperability was submitted
  to GSC-14 closing plenary for approval.
• ask the HoDs to consider broadening of the scope
  of the High Interest Subject NGN
  Interoperability to Interoperability, with TTC
  as the Prime-PSO

Cybersecurity (ATIS)

• Presentations
• Contributions GSC14-PLEN-045 and GSC14-GTSC5- 03,
  06, -11, -12, -19, -26 (-6a1, -17 for
  information)
• Summary
• It was noted that Cybersecurity continues to be
  one of the top priorities in the GSC members.
• New forms of attacks have emerged, including the
  distribution of malware via the web
• Countries/regions are developing best practices
  to address the cybersecurity challenges.
  Information about these experiences and best
  practices could be helpful to developing
  countries, e.g. the development of
  self-assessment tools.
• Effective cooperation and collaboration across
  the many organizations, including standards
  bodies, doing Cybersecurity work is essential.
• Sharing sensitive cybersecurity information among
  entities requires the development of trust. Trust
  grows on a person-by-person basis between
  organizations, and can not be imposed.
• Multiple global frameworks exist due to multiple
  trust groups, multiple functional networks of
  organizations
• Resolution
• A drafting group was charged with revising the
  Resolution regarding Cybersecurity starting with
  the baseline text contained in GSC13-CL-18.
  Following review, the text in GSC14-CL-18 was
  drafted as the Resolution to be submitted to the
  closing plenary for GSC approval as Resolution
  GSC-14/11.

Home Networking (ITU)

• Presentations
• Contributions GSC14-GTSC7-07R1, -08R1(TIA),
  -10(ATIS), -14(CCSA), -18R1(ETSI), -22(ITU),
  -24(TTA), -27(TTC) including information sharing
  by GSC14-PLEN-78R1, -80(IEEE), -82(Broadband
  Forum) and -84(HGI).
• Summary
• A Home Network must consider many different
  devices and various means of transport, while at
  the same time provide reliability,
  predictability, security and acceptable
  performance. With current standards activities
  there is no assurance of successfully integrated
  specifications enabling a home network which can
  be deployed with reasonable effort, and be easily
  maintained.
• There is a significant amount of technical work
  required for device and service discovery within
  the home network to address issues related to the
  connection and discovery of devices and services
  that is necessary to enable a satisfying user
  experience.
• Femto cells may be deployed in various
  applications to support increased coverage and
  Home Network enhanced services.
• In addition to the converged service between
  telecommunication and broadcasting, the other
  industries such as electric power, water, gas
  services would be also converged with
  Telecommunication service in Home Area. Smart
  Grid could be the first target for the
  collaboration of Inter-Industrial
  Standardization.
• The Home Network is the crux of energy usage for
  most consumer premises. The management of the
  network, devices, integration with home
  automation aspects such as utilities, and the
  ability to monitor energy usage remotely is a key
  driver for the use of ICT to combat rising CO2
  emissions.
• There must be an increased effort to encourage
  Home Networking standardization bodies to work
  together to bring about global solutions. The
  JCA-HN continues to encourage co-operation with
  other Home Networking bodies.
• Resolution
• The existing Resolution regarding Home Networking
  was revised based on the contributions and the
  revised resolution is provided in GSC-CL-19 and
  submitted to the GSC-14 closing plenary for
  approval.
