This will be discussed on the telecom wg conf. call tomorrow at 1 pm ET.




This is from Karen Peltz Strauss who says: The three changes I have
made, per requests from the group are: 2 new advisory notes, and a
change to the first provision to make clear that this section is not
designed to require video communications for every single federal
employee.



Video Support



1. Each agency must ensure the availability of communication access
via point to point real time video communications and video relay
services for incoming and outgoing calls for individuals who need such
access.
2. Communication products or systems that are used to transmit
video communications in real time between and among individuals must
support interoperability to permit communication between and among users
of terminals from different manufacturers and service providers.
3. Communication products or systems that are used to transmit
video communications in real time between and among individuals must
provide an external flashing system that is capable of alerting users of
incoming calls.
4. At a minimum, video communications must support 15 frames per
second, QCIF resolution, and a latency of less than 400 milliseconds, in
order to provide sufficient quality and fluency that will support real
time video communication in which one or more parties are using sign
language or is talking in the picture.
5. Where security concerns are present, this subpart remains in
effect, but may be achieved by measures that prevent an individual's
video communications from intermingling with packets of the general
government network, for example, through the installation of a separate
line to an isolated communications terminal.



Advisory notes: (1) The requirement to permit video communications in
real time includes the ability to send and receive video mail, much in
the same way that voice telephone users are able to send and receive
voice mail. (2) Twenty frames per second or better is recommended to
facilitate lip reading and fingerspelling in the video communications
provided under this section. (3) Explanatory information concerning
sign language and lip-reading real-time conversation using low bit rate
video communication can be found in ITU-T H-Series Supplement 1.
