Here is the language that I believe we agreed to today on 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. This includes the requirement to provide a non-auditory means of alerting users of incoming calls.

2. Communication products or systems that are used to transmit video communications in real-time between and among individuals must


(a) support interoperability to permit communication between and among

users of terminals from different manufacturers and service providers;

(b) have a built-in non auditory alerting system or provide compatibility

with an external non-auditory alerting system that is capable of

alerting users of incoming calls; and

(c) at a minimum, 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.



3. 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. http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.Sup1/en.



(4) Non-auditory alerting for incoming video communications can be achieved via flashes, vibrations and sound; the preferred method will depend on the needs of the individual using the product.

Subject: [teitac-telecom] Agenda for TELECOM WG call today at 1 pm


The agenda for Today's Telecom WG will be:

1. 2.2E: Volume Gain. A proposed text is attached.

2. 2.2B: Interference with Hearing Device. The text was voted and adopted on at the last in-person plenary. There is an outstanding request for an advisory note.
Proposed advisory note text:
Advisory Note

Cellular and PCS handsets that meet a minimum of M3 or M4 and T3 or T4 measurement rating per ANSI C63.19 (2007) will meet this requirement for "lowest possible level." Devices in other frequency bands (700 MHz, AWS) are not yet included in this standard, but may be so at a later time. Digital wireline cordless devices that meet TIA-1083 will meet the "lowest possible level" standard for those types of devices.

3. Video Support. Text was sent out yesterday. There has been on-line traffic on the text overnight.
