What is the IMTCs relationship to other standards-development and implementation bodies such as the ITU?
As a formal and approved liaison to ITU Study Groups 8, 15 and 16, the IMTC has played an important role in helping define, clarify, and encourage the rapid ratification of conferencing standards. In addition to the ITU, the IMTC maintains formal relationships with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Digital Audio Visual Council (DAVIC), and the ISO/IEC JTCI/SC29 Group. More recently, the IMTC has worked with 3GPP, organizing interoperability sessions in order to check interoperability among different suppliers’ Packet-Switched Streaming (PSS) products for use in the mobile environment. The 3G-324M standard for symmetrical real-time communications over circuit-switched media has also been a topic of dicussion with both 3GPP and 3GPP2. IMTC Members are encouraged to participate in the proceedings of these organizations. However, the primary role of the IMTC is practical validation and promotion of interoperability b
