  2. ieprep Re-charter?

  3. Proposed Charter (1) Effective telecommunications capabilities are imperative to facilitate immediate recovery operations for serious disaster events including natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, floods, earthquakes) and those created by man (e.g., terrorist attacks, combat situations or wartime events). In addition, related capabilities should be usable in normal command and control operations of military services, which often have timeliness requirements even in peacetime. The IEPREP WG will address proactive and reactive robustness and recovery from various outages using three perspectives: 1. A commercial (i.e., or public) telecommunications infrastructure 2. A governmental/military telecommunications infrastructure that may retains sole ownership and administration of its own resources 3. A governmental/military telecommunications infrastructure that combines private resources and leverages public infrastructure. This scenario may be subject to local policies, laws, and regulations.

  4. Proposed Charter (2) Disasters can happen any time, any place, unexpectedly. Quick response for recovery operations requires immediate access to any public telecommunications capabilities at hand. These capabilities include: conventional telephone, cellular phones, and Internet access via online terminals, IP telephones, and wireless PDAs. The commercial telecommunications infrastructure is rapidly evolving to Internet-based technology. Therefore, the Internet community needs to consider how it can best support emergency management and recovery operations. Potential disasters for governmental/military infrastructures can extend beyond what might be experienced by the commercial/public sector and can be anticipated to some degree. Thus, proactive mechanisms to address would-be outages are required for these scenarios. The IEPREP WG will work on these three perspectives (commercial, governmental/military, and the combination) and synergize common mechanisms and requirements into other groups where possible, while maintaining a separate track of IEPREP documents for the unique mechanisms and requirements of each perspectives.

  5. Proposed Charter (3) Now that the initial documents describe the broad problem space and its salient characteristics, new efforts will focus on specific requirements and solutions such as those pertaining to the governmental/military sector. One document exists in the Transport Area working group of interest to IEPREP that could satisfy a governmental framework/BCP is draft-ietf-tsvwg-mlpp-that-works-XX. This document will progress to completion in that WG, yet be the basis of more work in this IEPREP WG. Some additional efforts on the governmental/military track within IEPREP will focus on this TSVWG document, analyze gaps, and provide input where needed. The following are four specific examples that can satisfy the interests of governmental/military (and potentially, commercial/public) emergency communications:

  6. Proposed Charter (4) 1. Conveying information about the priority of specific flows (or sessions) that originate in a VoIP environment. This could include a requirements effort to describe extensions to NSIS or RSVP. Requirements for NSIS would be forwarded to the NSIS working group. Requirements for RSVP could be forwarded to tsvwg or worked on in IEPREP. 2. Nested VPNs require special considerations for routing and QoS if nodes in the path that make these decisions generally have limited information. 3. Some countries require civil networks to preempt sessions under state circumstances, and preemption is considered an absolute requirement in governmental networks in most countries. Unless implementation of these requirements can be objectively shown to threaten network health (via simulation or in operations), then the requirement needs to be considered by IEPREP and specific solutions must be developed. 4. Non-real-time applications require measures of QoS and other preferential treatments, as voice will not be the only application used by IEPREP.

  7. Proposed Charter (6) In the IETF, considerations for treatment and security of emergency communications stretch across a number of Areas and Working Groups, notably including the various telephony signaling working groups, Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access (pana), the open Transport Area for path-coupled signaling and various operational groups. IEPREP will cooperate closely with these groups and with those outside of the IETF such as various ITU-T study groups. If there is an existing WG that can discuss the requirements for extending their protocol or mechanism, IEPREP will generate only a requirements document for that group to discuss. If there is not an existing WG that can discuss the requirements for extending their protocol or mechanism, IEPREP will prepare requirements and discuss the extension of that protocol/mechanism or protocols/mechanisms within IEPREP.

  8.

  9. Goals and Milestones: (Proposed) Mar 06 Submit an initial I-D of Considerations for potential solutions of Government/Military Networks Apr 06 Submit an initial I-D of Mechanisms to be used by Government/Military Networks Oct 05 Submit final I-D of Emergency Threats Analysis of Government/Military Networks to IESG as Informational RFC Feb 06 Submit final I-D of Requirements of Government/Military Networks to IESG as Informational RFC Apr 06 Submit final I-D of Mechanisms to be used by Government/Military Networks to IESG as BCP RFC The working group will discuss re-chartering if additional efforts are agreed upon by the WG (for example, work items related to protocols outside existing WGs).
