Strategic Direction


ATIS strategic direction has been maintained since last year Work within legal and regulatory framework (per USA CALEA law and related FCC regulations, and Canadian regulations) – e.g., USA “Safe-Harbor” provisionWork proactively to support law enforcement’s needs (per reasonable changes and direction)Work in response to FCC regulatory mandates Focus on regional needs of LI/LAES (North America)Coordinate/collaborate with other organizations where appropriate (e.g., TIA)

Fostering worldwide interoperability 5Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

Working at the nexus where law, regulation, technology, and standards come togetherDelivering standards to satisfy aggressive regulatory mandate target dates such that reliable implementations can be deployed (per target dates)Determining what is “reasonable” to proactively support law enforcement’s needs (while not crossing the line of interpreting law or regulation)Change management of LI/LAES standards, e.g.:

Separating implementation guidelines from necessary changes to the standardsFCC petition process

Challenges


Complete currently defined work programContinue appropriate changes to current standards suiteRespond (at appropriate time) to the expectation of more information from FCC regarding J-STD-025B and possibly other NGN related LI/LAES standardsContinue with cross-organizational coordination and collaboration

General Drivers for LI/LAES


PTSC Mission/Scope

Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC) http://www.atis.org/0191/index.asp Mission: PTSC develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies. Scope:

Coordinates and develops standards and technical reports relevant to telecommunications networks in the U.S. Reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission to U.S. ITU-T and U.S. ITU-R Study Groups or other standards organizations. Reviews for acceptability or per contra the positions of other countries in related standards development and takes or recommends appropriate actions.


PTSC Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance Subcommittee (PTSC LAES)

Mission: The PTSC LAES Subcommittee develops and recommends standards, technical requirements and technical reports related to Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) of packet-mode technologies in a wireline environment.Scope: Coordinates and develops standards, technical requirements, technical reports and other documents relevant to LAES of packet-mode technology in telecommunications networks in the U.S., taking advantage of standards development progress in other standards organizations, e.g., IETF, WTSC and ETSI. In as much as the development of standards may be evolved or influenced by several ATIS technical committees/forums, PTSC and the PTSC LAES Subcommittee will maintain liaisons with appropriate ATIS committees/forums, as well as with standards-setting bodies, external to ATIS and will adopt other SDO standards as appropriate.

PTSC LAES Mission/Scope


Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC) http://www.atis.org/0160/index.aspMission: WTSC develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to wireless and/or mobile services and systems, including service descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC develops and recommends positions on related subjects under consideration in other North American, regional and international standards bodies. Scope: WTSC coordinates and develops standards and technical reports primarily relevant to wireless/mobile telecommunications networks in the U.S. and reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission to the appropriate U.S. preparatory body for consideration as ITU contributions or for submission to other domestic and regional standards organizations. WTSC will maintain liaison with other ATIS Committees as well as external fora as appropriate. WTSC will coordinate closely with other standards developing organizations (e.g., ITU-R, TIA, IEEE, ETSI) on wireless issues to ensure that the work programs are complementary.

WTSC Mission/Scope


WTSC Lawful Intercept Subcommittee (WTSC LI)Mission: WTSC LI develops, maintains, amends, and enhances American National Standards and other WTSC deliverables related to lawful intercept within the GSM family (GSM/EGPRS/UMTS). This work may be done within WTSC LI or may be done in close cooperation with other U.S., regional, and international standards and specifications groups to ensure that respective standards and specifications for the GSM family meet North American regulatory and commercial requirements. Scope: WTSC LI provides the following functions and capabilities:

Formulate positions in support of WTSC objectives. Coordinates activities relevant to U.S., regional, and international standards and specifications activities including: Preparation, review and presentation of contributions as proposed US positions for submission to international standards bodies such as ITU-T; Establish appropriate mechanisms and coordinate contributions and positions that support WTSC objectives with other relevant committees and organizations (e.g., other US, regional, and international standards and specifications fora). Evaluate proposals for lawful intercept capabilities within the GSM family. Transpose 3GPP lawful intercept deliverables into WTSC deliverables. Develop and coordinate appropriate inputs regarding lawful intercept aspects that impact or are impacted by IMT-2000 services.
