<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Scott,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for reminder.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The phrase in your penultimate sentence, “…<span style="color:black">alarm monitoring and life-safety communications, particularly around reliable call delivery, identity preservation, and interoperability</span>” is a use-case that deserves
special attention. Likewise, the SIPNOC 2026 presentation highlighting the value and importance of reliable identity information in 911 emergency services calls to help combat SWATting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The two use cases are important enough for there to be consideration for work in the ATIS/SIP Forum Joint Task Force on IP-NNI, and potentially in the IETF STIR working group and/or NENA as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The formal way of introducing new work into the IP-NNI TF is an
<i><u>Issue Statement</u></i>. I think a relatively simple output of discussion in NG911 SIG could be two (or more) Issue Statements for the IP-NNI TF to consider.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NENA NG911 is a non-trivial architecture so I would tend towards starting with one single Issue Statement for “<span style="color:black">alarm monitoring and life-safety communications” (AM&LS) and “reliable call delivery, identity preservation,
and interoperability”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">An example IP-NNI TF Issue Statement is available at:
<a href="https://access.atis.org/higherlogic/ws/public/document?document_id=83596&wg_id=8ba10810-ca63-4d03-8155-018d2489bfb6">
Text Message Sender Identification Technology</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Recalling that a basic requirement of STIR/SHAKEN operation was that it worked in “the IP portion” of carrier networks, I would make the same IP transport and signaling assumption for AM&LS and state the “issue”
(or issues) needing a standards-based solution and something about what the solution(s) might look like.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
