1、 International Telecommunication Union ITU-T TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDIZATION SECTOR OF ITU WORLD TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDIZATION ASSEMBLY Johannesburg, 21-30 October 2008 Resolution 60 Responding to the challenges of the evolution of the numbering system and its convergence with IP-based systems
2、/networks FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsibl
3、e for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T
4、study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. ITU 2009 All rights reserved.

WTSA-08 Resolution 60 1 RESOLUTION 60 Responding to the challenges of the evolution
5、 of the numbering system and its convergence with IP-based systems/networks (Johannesburg, 2008) The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (Johannesburg, 2008), recognizing a) Resolution 133 (Rev. Antalya, 2006) of the Plenipotentiary Conference, with regard to the continuing progress tow
6、ards integration of telecommunications and the Internet; b) Resolution 101 (Rev. Antalya, 2006) of the Plenipotentiary Conference, in particular: i) that the increased use of the Internet introduces new, additional applications in telecommunication services, based on its highly advanced technology;
7、ii) that studies are ongoing in the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) on IP-based network issues, including service interoperability with other telecommunication networks, numbering, signalling requirements and protocol aspects, security and infrastructure component costs, and iss
8、ues associated with the evolution to next-generation networks (NGN), including the migration from existing networks to NGN; iii) the resolves paragraph to the effect that ITU shall fully embrace the opportunities for telecommunication/information and communication technology development that arise f
9、rom the growth of IP-based services; c) the evolving role of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly, as reflected in Resolution 122 (Rev. Antalya, 2006) of the Plenipotentiary Conference, noting a) the trial work in Study Group 2, i.e., investigating the evolutionary aspect of the numb
10、ering system, including the “future of numbering“, considering NGN as the working environment of the numbering system in the future; b) the emerging issues concerning administrative control for international telecommunication service-based numbers; c) the forthcoming issues on the convergence of num
11、bering, naming, addressing and identification systems along with the development of NGN, and associated issues on security, signalling, portability and migration; d) the lack of principles, or of a roadmap, for the evolution of international telecommunication resources, which would be expected to he
12、lp the timely, predictable deployment of advanced identification technologies, resolves to instruct Study Group 2, within the mandate of ITU-T 1 to study, in liaison with the other relevant study groups, the necessary requirements for the structure and maintenance of telecommunication identification
13、/numbering resources in relation to the deployment of IP-based networks and the transition to NGN; 2 to ensure the development of the administrative requirements for identification/numbering resource management systems in NGNs; 2 WTSA-08 Resolution 60 3 to develop guidelines, as well as a framework,
14、 for the evolution of the international telecommunication numbering system and its convergence with IP-based systems, in coordination with related study groups and associated regional groups, so that a basis for any new application can be provided, instructs relevant study groups to support the work
15、 of Study Group 2, to ensure that such applications are based on appropriate guidelines, as well as a framework, for the evolution of the international telecommunication numbering system, and to help investigate their impact on the numbering system, instructs the Director of the Telecommunication St
16、andardization Bureau to take appropriate action to facilitate the foregoing work regarding the evolution of the numbering system or its converged applications, invites Member States and Sector Members to contribute to these activities, taking into consideration their national concerns and experiences.
