  1. ICS Working Groups SnowmassAugust 2001

  2. ICS Intercampus Demonstration Project(s) • Intercampus VoIP for ICS members • For our conference calls • Intercampus videoconferences for Phase 2? • For our video conference calls • Research group support examples • Interoperability • Establish liaison with I2 group

  3. Financial Issues • Grant funding rules? • Overhead v.s. grant charges for data • Collect funding models • Billing • Centralized v.s. decentralized • Impact on organization? • Do you have/charge for QoS? • Local service and long distance • Loss of existing revenue streams

  4. Next Steps: Survey, Data Reporting, and Publication • Policy chapter – on-campus issues • Technical infrastructure • Switches, routers, phone, messaging, • Organizational structure • Why are you working towards convergence • Timing • What are the key issues • Roadblocks • Applications • MAN • Financial Benefit

  5. Next Steps: Survey, Data Reporting, and Publication • Papers on campus activities • Collection of planning documents • E-911 issues • Unified messaging • Security, authentication, encryption, directory services

  6. Policy Issues – National/Regional • Support for lobbying/congressional activities • Offer resources/answer questions • Build contacts in congress • Share regional experiences – PUCs • Coordinate with others – ACUTA, etc • Generate/capture collective higher education view on issues • E.g. ownership of phone numbers, etc? • Security, wiretap laws under VoIP, etc. • Share E-911 information

  7. Integrated Communications and Wireless Services • Voice services • 802.11b – data/voice/video • Establish liaison with Net@Edu wireless group • Follow-me routing with traditional cell providers • On-campus cell systems

  8. Tasks for all groups? • Vendor feedback • Group work but coordinated ICS feedback? • Policy issues related to the group • Document findings, publish results

  9. Do these fit into existing groups? • Document on when/why convergence? • Likely early applications • Centralized v.s. decentralized implementations • MAN Opportunities • VoIP instrument lifetime • Call center, web integration, CRM, • Unified Messaging • Security, authentication, encryption, directory services • E-911
