Subject: Meeting of Study Group 17 Geneva, 19-28 September 2007

Dear Sir/Madam, 1 In accordance with the schedule of ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector meetings for 2007 (see TSB Circular 105 of 28 July 2006), I should like to inform you that Study Group 17 (Security, Languages and Telecommunication Software) is to meet at ITU headquarters, Geneva, from 19-28 September 2007 inclusive. The meeting will open at 0930 hours on the first day. Participant registration will begin at 0830 hours. Please note that all participants must register via the Montbrillant entrance. Detailed information concerning the meeting rooms will be displayed on screens at the entrances to ITU headquarters. 2 An interpretation service will be provided for the meeting in accordance with the relevant provisions in force. 3 The draft agenda and timetable, as prepared by the Chairman of Study Group 17 in consultation with the TSB, is set out in Annex 1 hereto. 4 The draft work programme for Working Parties and Questions, as prepared by the Chairman of Study Group 17 in consultation with the TSB, is set out in Annex 2 hereto. 5 Please notice that an NGN-GSI event is also taking place in the same location from 11 (afternoon) to 21 September 2007; see TSB Circular 150. A workshop jointly organized by ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 WG 5 on identity management will take place in Lucerne, Switzerland, on 30 September 2007. More information is to be provided on the ITU-T website at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/index.phtml. 6 Pursuant to the provisions of Recommendation A.1 (2006), contributions to the work of the study group are to be submitted to the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB). Contributions received by TSB at least ten calendar days before the date set for the opening of the meeting will be published on the Study Group 17 website. Such contributions must therefore be received by TSB not later than 8 September 2007. Contributions received at least two months before the start of the meeting may be translated, if required, according to the provisions in force.

Participants are encouraged to submit contributions using the web-based submission form available on the Study Group 17 homepage, or by electronic mail to the following address: [email protected]. Detailed instructions can be found on the ITU-T website. We would strongly encourage you to use the set of templates that has been created to harmonize the appearance of ITU-T documents while making their production easier and hence more efficient. The templates are accessible from each ITU-T study group web page, under “Guides, Tools and Templates” (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/templates/index.html). With a view to settling any questions that might arise concerning contributions, the name, fax and telephone number and e-mail address of the person to be contacted should be indicated on contributions. Accordingly, please include those details on the cover page of all documents. 7 To enable TSB to make the necessary arrangements concerning the documentation for, and organization of, the meeting, I should be grateful if you would send me, by letter, fax (+41 22 730 5853) or e-mail ([email protected]), as soon as possible but not later than 19 August 2007, the list of people who will be representing your Administration, Sector Member, Associate, regional and/or international organization or other entity. Administrations are requested also to indicate the name of their head of delegation (and deputy head, if applicable). The registration form in Annex 4, duly completed (one per participant), should be attached to the above-mentioned list. 8 Participants actually present at the meeting and having requested paper copies in advance by means of the registration form will receive only those documents posted on the ITU-T website as from 3 days prior to the meeting (16 September 2007) and up to the end of the meeting. With a view to rationalizing document distribution during meetings, working party members are reminded that they will receive only the documents which concern them. You are therefore requested to specify clearly, on the registration form, the various working parties you wish to attend. 9 For sessions that are scheduled to be held with interpretation, please note that interpretation will actually be provided only where Member States so request, by means of the registration form, or a special notice to TSB, and at least one month before the start of the sessions in question. It is imperative that the deadline indicated on the registration form be respected in order for TSB to make the necessary arrangements for interpretation. 10 Wireless LAN facilities are available for use by delegates in the ITU main conference room areas and in the CICG (Geneva International Conference Centre) building. Wired network access continues to be available in the ITU Montbrillant building. Detailed information is available on the ITU-T website (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/edh/faqs-support.html). 11 For your convenience, a hotel confirmation form is enclosed as Annex 3 (see http://www.itu.int/travel/ for the list of hotels). 12 We would remind you that citizens of some countries are required to obtain a visa in order to enter and spend time in Switzerland. Where this is the case, the visa must be requested and obtained from the office (embassy or consulate) representing Switzerland in your country or, if there is no such office in your country, from the one that is closest to the country of departure. If problems are encountered, the Union can, at the official request of the administration or company you represent, approach the competent Swiss authorities in order to facilitate delivery of the visa.

ITU-T\COM-T\COM17\COLL\007E.DOC - 3 -

Visa requests should in such cases be made by official letter from the administration or company you represent. This letter must specify your name, function and date of birth, as well as the number and dates of issue and expiry of your passport. It must be accompanied by a photocopy of the personal details pages of your passport and by the completed registration form, and must be sent to TSB by fax (+41 22 730 5853) or e-mail message ([email protected]) bearing the words “visa request”. Please note that the Union needs at least one week to process the various documents required for the delivery of a visa.

Yours faithfully,

Malcolm Johnson Director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau
