+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.

+
+
+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/.
+

+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.
