Dear All,

CALL FOR ONE ENUM INDEPENDENT EXPERT AND VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TASK FORCE TO SUPPORT THE 1ST ENUM INTEROPERABILITY EVENT (Spring 2005)

The ETSI Plugtests Interoperability service, hosted the first ENUM Workshop event in February 2004 to serve the whole global market in cooperation with the ETSI TC TISPAN committee. The ETSI Plugtests service is independent and has, over the last 4 years, gained a unique experience in organising 50 events for a broad range of domains. Further information on the service is available at www.etsi.org/plugtests.  

While being part of the ETSI structure, this service is self-financed and fully independent. Half of the organized events are related to non ETSI Standards (e.g. IPv6, SIP, Bluetooth, etc).

The ETSI Plugtests service is now preparing a 1st ENUM interoperability event to be held spring 2005 with the objective of having a broad technical scope to address ENUM technologies.
Preliminary ENUM tests could be conducted during the 1st NGN Plugtests from 29-Nov to 3-Dec:

To serve all the global ENUM solutions and all involved companies in an open, independent and transparent process, ETSI is looking for further assistance and support in two directions:

1)       CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT EXPERT

ETSI Plugtests Service is looking for appointing an independent expert mainly to assist in the definition of the ENUM interoperability event, its architecture, its test bed and on the test cases to be performed. This expert will be under contractual arrangement with ETSI and under the financial rules of the EU eEurope programme. He will coordinate the work under the supervision of both the ETSI TC TISPAN committee and an independent task force to be set-up for providing main input to the programme. The expert effort can be estimated in a range of 40 to 80 days.

Should you like to be candidate for such expertise, please send your application and references to philippe.cousin at etsi.org (CC patrick.guillemin at etsi.org and plugtests at etsi.org) before 15 November 2004.

2)       CALL FOR ADDITIONNAL VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A FIRST ENUM  INTEROPERABILITY EVENT  TASK FORCE

ETSI Interoperability Service is looking for volunteers to extend the task force (EPTF, ENUM Plugtests Task Force) for providing inputs and guidance to the 1st Interoperability event in a more open, transparent and independent manner as possible . The main objective of this task force assisted by dedicated resources of an independent expert is to provide guidance of the architecture, the test beds, and the test cases. This 1st interoperability event should address all the interoperability concerns for the ENUM solutions.

Should you like to be candidate to participate to this Task force, please send your application and references to Patrick.guillemin at etsi.org CC plugtests at etsi.org before 15 November 2004.  Any expert is welcome, even non-ETSI members as long as the expert is committed to actively and constructively contribute to the work. It is expected that most of the work could be done by email and audio-conference but meeting(s) can also be convened when necessary.

I am looking forward to getting a lot of applications and support

Best regards
