3 The Chair encouraged member companies to attend the Global Roaming Symposium in Miami in December.. IPv Forum No report.. Liaison Reports.1 SDO Updates TTA provided an update of TTA IMT-00 activities contained in contribution SC There were no questions for clarification. TIA provided an update of TIA TR activities contained in contribution SC In response to questions: - On the subject of ESN re-use, the TR Chair noted that the impending correspondence to holders of Electronic Serial Numbers assigned prior to is to be written in such a fashion as to assume that re-use will occur unless the company receiving the correspondence explicitly notes otherwise, unlike the mailing of 01 which yielded minimal results. - It was suggested that the TIA effort reach out to operators, including those outside North America such as KDDI in Japan, who might put additional resources to this effort. Noting the critical and global nature of the concern regarding ESN exhaust, a suggestion was made that interests outside the TR arena (China, India, for instance) be brought into the discussions. It was confirmed that TR gladly welcomes input and participation from any external organizations. - It was suggested that the CDG might be approached to assist in the ESN re-use endeavor, by coordinating details on how operators are planning to migrate to MEID. The TR Chair welcomed the suggestion and added that the Global Roaming Symposium might be used as a vehicle to communicate this item. - Nortel Networks suggested that a list of concerns be drawn up. These concerns would then be assigned to the most appropriate organization to address, be it TR, CDG or GPP.

4 IETF. TSG Reports Chair endorsed the suggestion and assigned the action item to Nortel Networks accordingly. ACTION 0/-01 Girish Patel (Nortel Networks) is asked to compile a list of ESN exhaust-related concerns and to offer a proposal for the assignment of these concerns to TR, the CDG and GPP respectively. ARIB provided an update of activities contained in contribution SC There were no questions for clarification. TTC provided a verbal update of activities. It was noted that TTC is restructuring and now contains sixteen working groups. The TTC GPP Working Group is engaged in transposing specifications from GPP into Japanese standards. From May to September 0, TTC has transposed two specifications into standards. It was noted that the cdma00 trademark issue discussed by the Organizational Partners impeded transposition of additional documents. It was noted that GPP specifications and reports have been transposed into TTC documents. The Chair invited participants to review contribution SC that contains the resignation of Tom Hiller as IETF liaison. It was noted that this contribution is provided for information..1 TSG-A Mr. George Turnipseed (Sprint PCS), TSG-A Chair, provided the report of TSG-A activities contained in contribution SC0-00.

5 TSG-X There were no questions for clarification. Mr. Hitoshi (Jin) Shibayama, TSG-X Vice-Chair, provided the report of TSG-X activities contained in contribution SC0-00. The report contained a number of requests to the Steering Committee, namely: Cross-TSG Meeting Planning The Chair noted that this is an issue of how each TSG shares information regarding upcoming meetings within GPP. A proposal had been made by the Secretariat to put together an on-line meeting calendar for use by the membership. It was clarified, however, that TSG-X is requiring a tool to negotiate times in advance to make sure participants are available for such joint meetings. It was noted that TSG-S uses a tool where if issues are brought up prior to the Wednesday morning of a TSG super-meeting, then this item can be brought up at the Chairs breakfast, which takes place on Wednesday morning during the TSG meetings. It was also noted that plenary sessions are not required to approve correspondence so a certain amount of Chair s discretion is deemed appropriate in the interests of circulating the correspondence in a timely fashion. The Chair encouraged the leadership to use the Wednesday-morning leadership meeting to distribute the planned joint sessions and to coordinate time slots. If the necessity for a joint session is brought up after the leadership meeting takes place, then coordination should be carried out by Chairs by the best available communications means, e.g. via . Once the meeting is agreed then a calendar manager can be used to distribute the information. ACTION 0/-0 The Secretary is asked to research the possibility of an on-line calendar manager to assist in the coordination of cross-tsg meetings. Interim Plenary Scheduling It was noted that the -day advance notice period required by the Working Procedures Document (WPD) is deemed too constricting for the scheduling of interim plenary meetings. TSG-X requested that the SC Chair bring a TSG-X proposal for reducing the lead-time requirement to seven days for electronic plenary sessions to the attention of the Organizational Partners. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

6 In the ensuing discussion, it was noted that perhaps this issue pertains to more efficient coordination by the TSG in scheduling interim plenary sessions with the required lead-time and then possibly canceling the meeting if it is not needed. It was also noted that the handling of correspondence could be carried out with a certain amount of Chair s discretion without the need for plenary approval. The Chair took an action to bring this item to the attention of the Organizational Partners. ACTION 0/-0 The SC Chair is to bring to the attention of the Organizational Partners the issue of scheduling meetings as noted in Article of the Working Procedures Document to request guidance on whether the WPD should be modified. New IETF Liaison The Steering Committee was invited to approve the appointment of Mr. AC Mahendran (Qualcomm) as the IETF liaison replacing Mr. Tom Hiller of Lucent, following Mr. Hiller s resignation. There were no questions or comments. DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee endorses the appointment of Mr. A.C. Mahendran as the IETF liaison replacing Mr. Tom Hiller of Lucent Technologies. ITU-T SG1 Relationship The Chair acknowledged that GPP s relationship with the ITU is channeled through the Organizational Partners. Consequently he agreed that this item should be brought to the OP s attention. There was no objection. ACTION 0/-0 The SC Chair is to bring to the attention of the Organizational Partners the issue of the GPP relationship to ITU-T SG1. Transfer to MMS Work to OMA Deferred to agenda item 1.1 GPP/GPP/OMA MMS Workshop The Chair noted that the invitation for the GPP/GPP/OMA workshop is noted in newly distributed contribution SC-00- SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

7 TSG-S 0. The Steering Committee noted the information contained in section. of the TSG-X report. It was acknowledged that this information is provided to the Steering Committee as FYI. However, the TSG-X representative was invited to note that the proposed correspondence in contribution SC-00-00D to the OMA concerning the designation of a contact point for GPP to the workshop is to be forwarded to the OMA liaison for forwarding to the OMA. There were no further discussion items. Mr. Richard Robinson (Sprint PCS), TSG-S Chair, provided the report of TSG-S activities contained in contribution SC-0-00r1. In the ensuing discussion, it was noted that there might be some question as to the correct representation of the ITU-R WPF representatives noted on page three of the report. The TSG-S Chair noted that this information would be clarified. The TSG-S Secretary amended the TSG-S report and provided SC- 0-00r. It was also noted that the report makes reference to Dan Bart being sought as legal counsel for the GPP-OMA workshop in December 0. A question was raised as to the capacity in which Dan Bart would be attending the meeting, whether as TIA or GPP. The OP Finance Chair did note that he had been made aware of the request for Dan Bart s attendance and had approved funding. Noting the concern, the Finance Chair offered to bring this item to the attention of the Organizational Partners. The following items were asked of the Steering Committee: Finalize definition and implementation of GPP/OMA liaison relationship including authorization to respond to all OMA Liaison Statements currently on hold. Deferred to agenda 1.1 Provide TSG-S with direction on future actions related to GPP relationships with OMA. Deferred to agenda 1.1 SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

8 Provide TSG-S with direction on what entity will serve as the (MEID) Global Hexadecimal Administrator (GHA) and to empower that entity to begin this effort immediately. It was noted that TIA acts as the ESN Administrator and the UIM ID Administrator. Consequently, it was recommended that it would be appropriate to ask TIA to serve as the GHA in a similar manner. The TIA representative reinforced the recommendation but noted that while it is certainly a role of GPP to put together the MEID Guidelines, it is not within the scope of GPP to carry out the administration function. Further, it was confirmed that this GHA administrator would work with a network of regional administrators to assure world-wide coordination of the resource. There was no objection to Steering Committee endorsement of the recommendation to appoint TIA as Global Hexadecimal Administrator. DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee recommends that TIA take on the function of MEID Global Hexadecimal Administrator (GHA).. GPP Program Management Ms. Eileen McGrath-Hadwen (NEC), Chair of the Project Management Team (PMT), provided the report of PMT activities contained in contribution SC It was noted that the report contains the GPP work plan contained in contribution SC-00-00B. Action was requested of the Steering Committee on a number of items. [Secretary s Note: Items for SC consideration pertaining to sub-agenda items are captured under the appropriate sub-agenda item]. SC requested to find appropriate placement of GPP policy re: nature of referenced documents within existing GPP set of policy documents (e.g., WPD). As background to this request, the PMT discussed a related remanded action from the TSG-S Plenary in September 0, noting that referenced documents should be: Stable documents, not projects Publicly available By publishing organizations that support IPR with GPP and OPs The Chair noted the concern, and volunteered to take an action to bring this item to the Organizational Partners for treatment by the Working Procedures Document. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

9 ACTION 0/-0 The SC Chair is to bring to the attention of the Organizational Partners the subject of referencing documents in GPP specifications and reports. Endorse the work plan of record, as per the monthly updates from the TSG work schedules. The Chair invited participants to submit comments. None were noted. There was no objection to approving the work plan. DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee endorses the work plan provided in contribution SC B..1 GPP Publications Process Guidelines SC ACTION 0/0-0, 0, 0 The PMT presented the Publications Process Guidelines draft document (S.P00) contained in contribution SC-00-00A. It was noted that this document is currently in V&V and a teleconference is scheduled to take place on November 1 0 to discuss this item further. A number of items were brought to the Steering Committee s attention for direction, as follows: Direction from the SC on (0--1) Editor s Note in S.P00-0 v0.1., re: parties who submit comments during V&V (Attachment A). It was noted that the editor s note pertains to the question regarding the parties submitting comments during the V&V activity, given that the table and process flow chart received from the OP gave information subject to ambiguous interpretation. The Chair noted that this item had been brought to the attention of the Heads of Delegation and invited the TIA Head of Delegation to provide clarification. The TIA Head of Delegation noted that the Working Procedures Document does not preclude the participation of OPs in TSG activities and so it should be concluded that comments might be submitted by the OPs. However, when it comes to addressing the comments within the TSG, this would be the purview of the Project s Individual Members. The Steering Committee was invited to consider the OP input. There was no objection to endorsing the outcome of the OP discussions. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

10 DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee endorses the guidance of the Organizational Partners, noting that Organizational Partners (OPs) are not precluded from submitting comments as part of the new V&V process. SC requested to provide guidance on implementation of publication process guidelines, noting any exceptions to specific projects underway. The Chair noted that the revised publications process should be implemented as soon as it is approved. However, noting some urgency in the submission of documents to ITU-R WPF, HRPD Rev-A and IS-00 Rel-D are exempt from implementation of the new publications process. The Chair requested that the SC consider the recommendation. In the ensuing discussion, Qualcomm noted that the process allows V&V on technical reports intended for publication and asked if V&V is now a required step on all Stage-1 and Stage- documents. The PMT Chair noted that V&V can be applied to all GPP documents but it is up to the TSG Chair to determine the time frame for the V&V. Consequently, if it is not anticipated that a particular Organizational Partner will be doing anything more than noting the document without transposing it, the Chair can decide on a shorter V&V review process. The PMT Chair noted that efforts are underway in the PMT to address this known issue. Given that the question pertains to Stage-1 documents, it is foreseen that a consistent process be put into place across all GPP deliverables, but that any additional considerations for Stage-1 documents will be addressed in S.R000, which discusses work item and stage-1 document guidelines. The Chair expressed concern regarding the level of discussion given that the project has been open for comments and input from the OPs for several months. He further recommended that all GPP documents should undergo a V&V process.. GPP System Release Process Guidelines SC Action 0/0-0 SC Action 0/0-0, 0, 0 It was noted that input had been requested of the Organizational Partners and has been received. No action is requested of the Steering Committee at the present time as this item is still under development.

11 GPP System Release Guide SC Action 0/0-0, 0, The SC SRG Ad Hoc Chair, Mr. Dennis Gentzler (ALLTEL), provided a report of the Ad Hoc s activities contained in contribution SC It was noted that the System Release Guide contained in contribution SC-00-0A is being presented for approval by the Steering Committee. The report included a number of items for SC decision: Adopt the output of the SRG Ad Hoc and process in the normal fashion. The Steering Committee considered the System Release Guide presented in contribution SC-00-0A. There were no questions for clarification and no objection to SC approval, noting that the document will need to undergo 1-day SC review. DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee approves the content of the System Release Guide presented in contribution SC-00-0A. Disband the Steering Committee SRG Ad Hoc It was noted that since the SRG Ad Hoc had concluded its activities, it would be appropriate for it to be disbanded at the present time. The Chair duly disbanded the SRG Ad Hoc.. GPP Document Numbering Guidelines SC Action 0/0-1 It was noted that this document is still under development.. Approval of SC-level Documents (Background: SC Decision 0/0-) SC Action 0/0- The PMT report requested direction from the Steering Committee as follows: SC requested to prepare placement of the Publication Process Guidelines in the SC set of organizational guideline documents.

He further noted that it is expected that the OPs will have concluded discussions on this item by the end of November 0. The SC Chair took an action to urge the Organizational Partners to complete discussions on this item in November in preparation for the PMT training session for Publication Process Guidelines in December 0. ACTION 0/-0 The SC Chair is to urge the Organizational Partners to complete discussions concerning the mechanism for approving SC-level documents. 1.1 Introduction of GPP Coordinator and activities The Secretary introduced Mr. Andrew Dryden of the GPP Secretariat.

SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

13 The Chair reminded participants that at the September 0 meeting, the first two bullet items in the requested actions from the Steering Committee as noted in contribution SC-0-00B (slide 1), had been approved. Discussion consequently resumed on the third bullet item, noted below. Approve an official liaison relationship between GPP and OMA as indicated below: Includes SC authorization to initiate all actions under items 1 and in Risk Mitigation Plan on slide. Includes SC authorization for GPP TSGs to handle inquiries received from OMA and to initiate communications to OMA groups as detailed in the first two () bullets of the Basic Preliminary Assumptions on slide. The OMA Liaisons received to date (as indicated in slide with the exception of the technical cooperation proposal) will be the first items of work. The SC Delegate will negotiate the Liaison relationship under control of the SC. Participants were reminded that agreement had been reached to strike the last item noted in slide 1, so what is under consideration by the Steering Committee is everything in item with the exception of the last sentence which reads: The SC Delegate will negotiate the Liaison relationship under control of the SC. The remaining items were taken in turn: Includes SC authorization to initiate all actions under items 1 and in Risk Mitigation Plan on slide. It was clarified that slide of the contribution notes potential GPP objectives of being in a relationship with the OMA. It was further noted that the OMA is not expected to support the findings in the document. It was noted, however, that the relationship between the two organizations is always subject to reconsideration by GPP on an on-going basis to assure that GPP goals are being met. The Chair invited participants to review each bullet point on slide # of the contribution in turn: GPP OMA Liaison: GPP establishes an official liaison with OMA to actively communicates issues. The Chair noted it had not been decided whether the official liaison should be a single person or a collective entity. It was SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

14 further noted that a liaison was established at the September 0 meeting for coordinating inbound and outbound communication. The Chair recommended that the first item be edited to read: GPP establishes an official liaison relationship with OMA to actively communicates issues and asked if there was any objection to approving this item, including the three sub-bullet items to follow. No objection was noted. OMA/GPP REVIEW OF WORKPLANS: SC Delegate AdHoc monitors OMA schedule and raises issues accordingly. It was noted that the form of the SC Delegate Ad Hoc has not yet been decided. This item is a placeholder and simply denotes the function to be accomplished, not the entity to accomplish it. It was further noted that the second sentence under the first bullet (a) a SC Delegate Ad Hoc will coordinate technical liaisons between OMA and the GPP TSGs was not in keeping with the SC decision for the OMA liaison to simply route incoming and outgoing correspondence. Consequently, it was recommended that the sentence be removed. There was no objection to the recommendation. The Chair asked if there was any objection to approving item two, including three sub-bullet items to follow, as amended. No objection was noted. The Chair noted that this effectively denotes Steering Committee approval of the first bullet point on slide 1, pending the decision on the actual form of a SC Delegate Ad Hoc. Includes SC authorization for GPP TSGs to handle inquiries received from OMA and to initiate communications to OMA groups as detailed in the first two () bullets of the Basic Preliminary Assumptions on slide. The Chair invited participants to review the relevant bullet items on slide. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

15 OMA LIAISON INQUIRIES: GPP TSGs should be allowed to respond to technical inquiries from OMA in an expedited and unencumbered manner as coordinated by the SC or its delegate (e.g., SC OMA AdHoc or TSG-S OMA AdHoc). A recommendation was made to amend the text to allow communication to the OMA by the SC Delegate Ad Hoc (as yet undecided work plan watchdog entity) as follows: OMA LIAISON INQUIRIES: GPP TSGs and the SC Delegate Ad Hoc(work plan watchdog) should be allowed to respond to technical inquiries from OMA in an expedited and unencumbered manner as coordinated by the SC or its delegate (e.g., SC OMA AdHoc or TSG-S OMA AdHoc). GPP TSG LIAISONS: GPP TSGs should be allowed to initiate technical liaisons to convey information to OMA or request information from OMA as coordinated by the SC or its delegate (e.g., SC OMA AdHoc or TSG-S OMA AdHoc). A recommendation was made to amend the text to allow communication to the OMA by the SC Delegate Ad Hoc (as yet undecided workplan watchdog entity) as follows: GPP TSG LIAISONS: GPP TSGs and the SC Delegate Ad Hoc (work plan watchdog) should be allowed to initiate technical liaisons to convey information to OMA or request information from OMA as coordinated by the OMA liaison who simply routes incoming and outgoing correspondence. Noting a conclusion to the discussions, the Chair asked if there was any objection to approving the second bullet on slide 1 as noted above. No objection was noted. The OMA Liaisons received to date (as indicated in slide with the exception of the technical cooperation proposal) will be the first items of work. The liaison statements on slide # of the contribution were reviewed as follows: LS to GPP and GPP from OMA Technical Plenary proposing cooperation on technical development Status: Pending (excepted from consideration) SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

16 Draft of OMA Cooperation Framework Status: Pending (excepted from consideration) LS to TSG-C with a copy to TSG-S from OMA MAG requesting input on the OMA DRM (Digital Rights Management) Content Format Status: Pending LS to GPP and GPP from OMA Requirements group requesting input on the OMA Privacy Requirements. Status: Pending from TSG-S LS to GPP and GPP from OMA Requirements group requesting input on the OMA Push to Talk over Cellular (POC) Requirements Status: GPP has responded LS to GPP and GPP from OMA Requirements group regarding Device Management as FYI Status: No action required. Request to participate in OMA M-commerce survey from OMA M-commerce WG Status: Pending The Chair asked if there was any objection to adopting this subbullet point on slide #1 of the contribution. It was further noted that this approval would be with the understanding that the first two liaison items are not the purview of the GPP TSGs but more of a management matter for the Steering Committee and Organizational Partners. There was no objection. Noting the completion of discussions on slide 1, the Chair turned the Steering Committee s attention to determining what form the SC Delegate Ad Hoc (work plan watchdog) should take. Discussion yielded the following comments: A recommendation was made that this be a function of the Project Management Team. It was further mentioned that this group could take the form of a subset of the GPP membership with OMA interests, similar to the members who participated in the OMA Ad Hoc. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

17 A recommendation was made that this function not be a part of the Project Management Team but rather an Ad Hoc under the Steering Committee. The Chair opened the floor for comments and questions. A concern was raised that no current PMT members participate in the OMA, and vice-versa, so this item would have to be carefully handled to solicit participation from GPP members participating in the OMA. The Chair asked if there was any objection to delegating the role of SC Delegate Ad Hoc (work plan watchdog) to the Project Management Team. None were noted. DECISION 0/-0 The Steering Committee delegates to the Project Management Team (PMT) the function of OMA work plan watchdog noting that every effort will be made to coordinate the OMA-related meetings to maximize cross-tsg coordination. It was noted that a concise summary noting the decisions made, both in terms of the characteristics of the OMA liaison, and the conclusions reached with regard to the transfer of work, would need to be formulated and agreed upon by the Steering Committee. This document would be compiled into correspondence to go out over the SC Chair s signature. Clif Barber (KDDI) volunteered to put this document together. ACTION 0/-0 The Chair tasked Clif Barber (KDDI) to draft text summarizing SC OMA-related conclusions with regards to the OMA liaison and transfer of work, and to present the document to the SC reflector for review and approval. In discussing the shared work / transfer of work considerations on slide #1 of the contribution, it was noted that a request by TSG-X to transfer MMS work is currently on the table. Also, it was noted that GPP has requested that the OMA transmit its PoC requirements for GPP evaluation. It was noted that these requirements have been received and have been distributed to the TSGs. The Chair noted the two potential shared work / transfer items and recommended that the transfer of work into the OMA be assessed on an item-by-item basis via the liaison relationship established by SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page 1 Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

18 GPP. The Chair directed participants attention to slide #1 of contribution SC-0-00B covering the SC approval process for shared work. The Chair asked if there were any comments on the process proposed in slide #1 of the contribution. A concern was raised that the term transfer contained on slide #1 might be confusing. The Chair noted that it is not GPP specifications that are being transferred, but rather the responsibility for the development of specifications. A question was raised on how and when GPP decides that a particular item is to be transferred. The Chair noted that presently, there are two potential affected work items, namely MMS and PoC. However, noting that the GPP / OMA workshop taking place in December may yield organizational concerns, the Chair recommended assessing these items on a case by case basis as noted in the first bullet. The Chair asked if there was any objection to approving all but the third bullet on slide #1 of the contribution, noting that the recommendation in the third bullet has been overcome by events. The remaining bullet reads: Work items being considered for shared works and/or transfer of work must be approved on case-by-case basis. It is recommended that the 1-day SC approval be adopted. - The recommendation for a work items to be considered by the SC for shared works and/or transfer of work must include the following for SC consideration: - Detailed definition of the scope of work sharing/transfer - Definition of expected outputs by OMA with a requested delivery schedule for each - List of GPP documents that are recommended for OMA review in support of this effort - Recommendation for approval from the GPP TSG(s) that would be responsible for the work item No objection was noted to approving the bullet items above. The Chair asked if there was any objection to approving the last bullet on slide 1, which reads: The shared/transfer work effort in OMA must be monitored and the status periodically reported to the SC and approving TSGs by the SC Delegate AdHoc. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon

19 There was no objection to approving the amended slide acknowledging the replacement of the term SC Delegate Ad Hoc with Project Management Team. The Chair outlined the remaining issues are covered on items and of slide, namely: GPP/OMA JOINT OR TRANSFER WORK STRATEGY: GPP retains the following options: a - Any joint work between GPP and OMA or transfer of work from GPP to OMA must be approved by the GPP SC. b - GPP may define its own requirements and submit them for incorporation into OMA requirements. Alternatively, the SC Delegate Ad Hoc may facilitate the participation of GPP in the OMA requirements development process. c - SC Delegate Ad Hoc may facilitate GPP periodic reviews of OMA development projects to identify potential shortcomings or recommend modifications. d - GPP always retains the right to initiate any work item from scratch or at any interim development point, regardless of the potential overlap. JOINT PARTICIPATION IN OMA WORK: GPP companies actively participate in OMA. However, these companies are not authorized to directly speak for GPP. Through discussion, the slide was amended as follows: GPP/OMA SHARED OR TRANSFER WORK STRATEGY: GPP retains the following options: a - Any shared work between GPP and OMA or transfer of work from GPP to OMA must be approved by the GPP SC. b - GPP may define its own requirements and submit them for incorporation into OMA requirements. Alternatively, the SC may facilitate the participation of GPP in the OMA requirements development process. c - The TSG-S Project Management Team (PMT) may facilitate GPP periodic reviews of OMA development projects to identify potential shortcomings or recommend modifications. d - GPP always retains the right to initiate any work item from scratch or at any interim development point, regardless of the potential overlap.

20 The Chair asked if there was any objection to approving the items noted in item of slide # as modified. There was no objection. JOINT PARTICIPATION IN OMA WORK: GPP companies actively participate in OMA. However, these companies are not authorized to directly speak for GPP. The Chair asked if there was any objection to approving item of slide # as it stands. There was no objection. SC-00-00C (TSG-X Update on MMS Transfer) It was concluded that the discussion on the transfer of MMS as contained in contribution SC-00-00C be deferred until the next GPP Steering Committee in February 0. There was no objection to the proposal. A concern was raised on the content of SC-00-00E (MMS Workshop Input) and SC-00-00F (MMS Workshop Input). A proposal was made that the SC reinforce that workshop input provided by GPP TSGs is not subject to SC approval, by simply noting the input and not taking action to review the proposed contributions by TSG-X into the GPP-OMA workshop. While there was general acknowledgment that workshop input belongs to the source TSG, it was suggested that TSG-X might be directed to ensure that GPP input represented in the contribution is clearly defined to be a suggestion from the Delegation and not an official statement from GPP. The Chair recommended that a qualifying statement be placed at the opening of the input documents to the workshop noting the content is an ongoing working consideration by TSG-X, and does not represent a formal official position by GPP. The TIA HoD supported the Chair s recommendation being applied at the opening of contribution SC-00-00F, given the recommendations contained therein. It was noted that the language of the qualifying statement would be drafted by the Secretary and circulated to the Steering Committee reflector for approval before being forwarded to TSG-X. This course of action was endorsed by the Steering Committee. SC Approved Meeting Report October, 0 Kobe, Japan Page Approved at February GPP SC Meeting, Portland, Oregon
