Closing remarks • Challenging 3 day workshop • Solid participation in difficult times • Animated and intense discussions (Session dependent) • Everyone benefited in some way from workshop • Optics is and remains THE transport network technology • Tried to measure outcome against workshop objectives
Closing remarks (cont’d) • Detailed results in individual Session Summaries • General observations and remarks • Successfully increased awareness of current standardization activities in ITU-T, IEC, IEEE, IETF, OIF • Better understanding and appreciation of important issues and possible solutions • Need to continue and strengthen communication, coordination and cooperation effort between ITU-T, IEC, IEEE, IETF, OIF, and possibly others, by e.g. • Expanding use of common FTP area on ITU-T SG Web Sites for speedy exchange of information • Cross ‘fertilization’ and participation
