Title: Liaison Statement to ITU-T Q. 9/4 regarding management
specification harmonization (copy to ITU-T SG15 (Q.14),
TeleManagement Forum, ETSI TISPAN WG8, 3GPP SA5, 3GPP2
TSG-S WG5, ATIS TMOC, and IETF O&M Area)
The NGN Management Focus Group has noted the SG 4 liaison proposing
management specification harmonization and supports efforts to
achieve it. The NGNMFG has also noted or is aware of the positive
responses from ATIS TMOC and ETSI TISPAN WG8 and the encouraging
NGN architecture harmonization initiative involving participants
TISPAN, the TeleManagement Forum, SG 4, and 3GPP SA5. We also note
the concern expressed by the 3GPP SA5 regarding the meaning of the
term "harmonization" and, though the SG4 liaison did suggest
specific harmonization activities, we agree greater specificity
would be helpful.
The architectural harmonization initiative meeting held earlier
this week worked from a definition which considered two levels
of harmonization: elimination of contradictions between
specifications, and evolution to one common specification.
As a result of the related liaisons and internal discussions,
the NGNMFG has expanded its analysis of management specifications
proposed for inclusion in its NGN Management Roadmap to identify
harmonization issues among specifications and to promote the
resolution of any identified harmonization issues by the "owning"
organizations.
In conclusion, we support your harmonization efforts and ask you
to keep us informed about your progress. We have also encouraged
our participants to contribute to your work.
