What is not IMTC‘s goal? • IMTC is primarily not a standard / specification creating organization (IETF, ITU, ISO/IEC, W3C etc... are prime places for that) • So IMTC does not want to compete with them • IMTC specifies only as „last resort“ (e.g. Standard Profiles – Voip IA V.1; INOW!;...) • IMTC prefers formulate Standards requirements, or to feed-back implementation experiences gained through interoperability testing.

Why the „separation“? • IMTC is „protocol-neutral“ • H.323 Forum must be „protocol-biased“ • There are other „protocol-biased“ fora elsewhere... • H.323 Forum must be a focused program, complementary and crosscutting to IMTC WG/Ags • Different classes of memberships IMTC Fall Forum – November 2002 – New York, NY, USA
