NGN standards event: Sri Lanka
ITU together with the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) will hold a Forum on Next Generation Network (NGN) Standardization, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7 - 10 April 2009.
The event will examine the latest developments in NGNs including architecture, service requirements, network capabilities and migration. Case studies will allow attendees to learn from existing and ongoing NGN deployments from Asia-Pacific and beyond. Participants will also be kept up-to-date on recent changes to ITU-T working methods and its new mandate relating to IPv6.
Sessions will additionally focus on cybersecurity, ICTs and climate change, traffic accounting principles and QoS. There will be discussion of policy, regulatory and developmental issues related to NGNs and a report on the main results of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-08).
NGN growth in Asia-Pacific is in different stages of development. In a climate of many complex economic, technological, strategic and operational considerations, including the cost of implementation, changing marketplaces, complex migration scenarios and regulatory uncertainties, the role and importance of standardization is highlighted more than ever before. By leveraging on the experiences of renowned experts in the ICT field, the conference aims to allow participants to explore a wide spectrum of NGN standardization and related topics, with a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

Introduction
At the kind invitation of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL), ITU and the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organization (CTO) will organize a Forum: Next Generation Network Standardization, which will take place from 7 to 10 April 2009 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Objectives The objectives of the Forum are to discuss the current trends, status and future evolution of Next Generation Network technology and standardization, as being addressed by the ITU-T and share the experiences of NGN architecture, design, development and deployment. In particular, topics to be addressed are NGN management and control, technologies, NGN migration, number portability, security, policy, authentication and regulatory issues, interconnection and interoperability, testing and conformity, multimedia in NGN, quality of service (QoS) requirements, NGN access networks, IPTV and relevance of IPV6 for NGN transportation.
