Klensin + AT&T + June 2001 + + + 3GPP-IETF Standardization Collaboration + +Status of this Memo + + This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does + not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this + memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2001). All Rights Reserved. + +Abstract + + This document describes the standardization collaboration between + 3GPP and IETF. + +1. Conventions used in this document + + This document uses significant terminology that is specialized to + IETF, 3GPP, or their areas of work. See Appendix A for definitions + of acronyms. The organizational definitions can be found in their + respective web-sites. + +2. Introduction + + This document contains a set of principles and guidelines that serves + as the basis for establishing the collaboration between 3GPP and + IETF, with the objective of securing timely development of technical + specification that facilitate maximum interoperability with existing + (fixed and mobile) Internet systems, devices, and protocols. + + Each organization will operate according to their own rules and + procedures including rules governing IPR policy, specification + elaboration, approval and maintenance. + + + + + +Rosenbrock, et al. Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 3113 3GPP-IETF Standardization Collaboration June 2001 + + +3. Reasons For Collaboration + +3.1 3GPP use of IETF Internet Standards + + In the further development of 3GPP specifications, the benefit of + adopting Internet specifications has been identified. + + The preferred 3GPP approach is to use the Internet standards + unchanged, if feasible. In any case, 3GPP has no intention to + duplicate work performed in IETF. + + However, while this document recognizes the importance of 3GPP + interoperability with the existing Internet and hence the use of IETF + standards, 3GPP recognizes that additions or modifications might be + needed in order to make the IETF internet specification fulfill the + needs of 3GPP. In such cases, 3GPP will take its concerns directly + to the appropriate IETF working groups for resolution, or to an + appropriate Area Director if no appropriate working group can be + found. + +3.2 IETF access to 3GPP Wireless expertise + + The technical work in 3GPP is organized in Technical Specification + Groups TSGs each with their area of responsibilities. TSG-RAN and + TSG-GERAN are responsible for the Radio Access networks based on + UTRAN and GERAN and thus the experts in the areas of the + characteristics of the physical transport. TSG CN is responsible for + the Mobility Management and other core network protocol and + functionalities. TSG-T is responsible for Terminal aspects and + applications. TSG-SA is responsible for the service and system + aspects including the overall architecture, security and O&M aspects. + Contacts for the TSGs can be found on the 3GPP web-site + http://www.3gpp.org/. + +4. Document Sharing + + Both 3GPP and IETF encourage the sharing of draft documents that are + of mutual interest. + + 3GPP documents are available on its official web-site + (http://www.3gpp.org/) and is open to anyone. IETF documents, + including preliminary working documents ("Internet Drafts") are + available on its web-site (http://www.ietf.org/) and various shadow + sites. + + IETF representatives can obtain information about the 3GPP document + and web-site structures by contacting the relevant 3GPP contact + points indicated at the 3GPP web-site http://www.3gpp.org/. + + + +Rosenbrock, et al. Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3113 3GPP-IETF Standardization Collaboration June 2001 + + + 3GPP representatives can obtain information about the IETF document + and web-site structures by contacting the relevant IETF contact + points (the Area Directors indicated at the IETF web-site + http://www.ietf.org/). + +5. Communication + + Whenever possible, informal communication at working level is + encouraged. + + The vast majority of the technical discussions and decision making in + both IETF and 3GPP is done over mailing lists. Both 3GPP and IETF + web sites contain information concerning the associated mailing + lists. + + It is recommended that interested individuals subscribe to and + participate in these lists. + + When deemed necessary, formal communication between 3GPP and IETF is + also permitted. Relevant IETF Area Directors and 3GPP technical + leadership are encouraged and authorized to facilitate such + communications when needed. + +6. Rapporteurs/coordinators + +6.1 IETF coordination support in 3GPP + + An IETF rapporteur function is established in 3GPP TSG-SA. + + The individual(s) appointed to undertake the responsibility of this + function should be the initial contact point in 3GPP for matters + pertaining to the 3GPP-IETF cooperation. Of course, the chairman of + TSG-SA can always be contacted. + + The 3GPP-IETF rapporteur function, therefore, is expected to work + with the concerned working groups and TSGs and support the + interaction between 3GPP and IETF. + +6.2 3GPP Liaison in IETF + + The preferred way for organizations to work with IETF is through the + working groups. However, IETF has a limited number of liaison + relationships with other organizations when conditions warrant the + appointment of a specific person. + + The appointment, by the IAB, of a specific person to function as a + "3GPP liaison" is proposed. + + + + +Rosenbrock, et al. Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 3113 3GPP-IETF Standardization Collaboration June 2001 + + + The role of the 3GPP Liaison is to act as an initial contact point in + IETF for administrative aspects of this collaboration that cannot + easily be handled in other ways (e.g., at a technical level by + interactions with IETF Working Groups or Area Directors). It is + agreed that the role does not carry the expectation of attendance at + 3GPP meetings or participation in 3GPP administrative processes and + anticipated that all liaison efforts assigned to this individual will + be carried out by electronic mail. It is understood that the liaison + will not have the ability to make exceptions to, or special + provisions for, IETF policies and procedures. + +9. Participation + + In order to assist the information flow between the organizations, + the IETF can on per case basis appoint a rapporteur to participate + and represent IETF at 3GPP technical meetings. + + IETF meetings are open to any interested individuals. + + 3GPP partners (OPs, MRPs) or individual members can participate in + any of the IETF meetings, in accordance with the existing IETF + procedures. + +8. Security Considerations + + This type of non-protocol document does not directly affect the + security of the Internet. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Rosenbrock, et al.
