NNAINumbering, Naming, Addressing and Identification

• Res. 20 : Numbering Allocation.• Res. 29 : Alternative Calling Procedures.• Res. 61 : Numbering Misuse and

Misappropriation.• Res. 65 : Calling Line Identification.


Internet

• Res. 49 : ENUM.• Res. 64 : IPv4/IPv6,Allocation and Transition.• Res. 69 : Non-Discriminatory access to the

Internet.• Res. 75 : Implementing outcomes of WSIS• JCA-Res178: Technical aspects of the networks

that support the Internet.


Res. 20: Procedures for NNAI Allocation.

Governing the allocation and management international Numbering, Naming, Addressing and Identification resources and related codes.

NNAI is a scarce resource.

§3.5, ITR (Dubai, 2012): international telecommunication numbering resources specified in ITU-T Recommendations they should be used only by the assignees and only for the purposes for which they were assigned; and that unassigned resources are not used.


Res. 20: Procedures for NNAI Allocation. TSB Director allocates the NNAI resources in consultation

with the Chairman of SG2 and the Numbering Coordination Team.

The Director of TSB, in close collaboration with SG2 and other relevant SGs, to follow up on the misuse of any NNAI resources and inform the ITU Council accordingly.

New allocations of NNAI resources can open the gate for new and innovative services.


Res. 20: Africa Concerns

Fair and non-discriminatory allocation process.

Combating Misuse of NNAI resources.

Regulatory and Economical impact of innovative services

based on new allocations.


Res. 20: Africa Concerns: example SG2 approved in 2008 on Recomm. 164.1 including new

Shared Country Code for Global Services (+883 IC). Since then a significant progressing requests for this

resource is observed. User can have a Global Number that can be used from

different countries. Supporting networks are usually based on integrating legacy

switched networks and IP based networks to provide innovative services (voice, data, messaging, multimedia….).

However, its regulatory and economical impact is not well studied, may have impact on National Operators and on National Revenues.


Res. 29 : Alternative Calling Procedures ACP Member States should take, to the furthest extent practicable,

all measures to suspend the methods and practices of call-back. MS and AOA should take a cooperative approach to respecting

the national sovereignty of others. instruct SG 2 to study other aspects and forms of ACP, including

refilling and non-identification, and service definition and requirements for hubbing;

instruct SG 3 to study the economic effects of call-back, refilling and inappropriate hubbing and other forms of ACP, as well as origin non-identification or spoofing.

SG3 Cooperate with SG2 on the effectives of the guidelines on ACP.


Res. 29 : ACP, impact on Africa Fraud has been observed in hubbing and traffic aggregation

practise. Usually DCs are the VICTIMS!

Origin non-identification and spoofing add to the Fraud.

Complexity of traffic handling models, under non-disclosed commercial agreements.

Resistance to give MSs the right to know the route (ITR 2012)


To ensure that E.164 numbering resources are used only by the assignees and only for the purposes for which they were assigned; and that unassigned resources are not used.

consider providing a mechanism to allow their national regulator to request carriers to To endeavor to ensure that operating agencies authorized by Member States release routing information to duly authorized agencies in cases of fraud, in accordance within the constraints of national laws and regulatory frameworks;

Res. 61 : Numbering Misuse and Misappropriation


To encourage administrations and national regulators to collaborate and share information on fraudulent activities related to misappropriation and misuse of international numbering resources and to consider sharing information about these, and to collaborate to counter and combat such activities;



That MSs and AoA should take all reasonable measures, within the constraints of their national laws and regulatory frameworks, to obtain take to the furthest extent all reasonable measures to provide information necessary to address issues related to number misappropriation and misuse;



To request SG2 to study misappropriation, and misuse of numbering resources, to support countering and combating these activities;

request SG3, in collaboration with SG2, to develop definitions for inappropriate activities including inappropriate activities causing loss of revenue, related to misappropriation and misuse;

request SG3 to study the economic effects of resulting from misappropriation and misuse of numbering resources;



Res. 65: Origin Identification

that international Calling Party Number Delivery (CPND), Calling Line Identification (CLI) and origin identification (OI) shall, consistent with technical capabilities and national legal and regulatory frameworks, be provided based on the relevant ITU T Recommendations‑ where technically possible;

that the CPN and CLI and origin identification information shall, consistent with technical capabilities and national legal and regulatory frameworks, be transmitted transparently by transit networks (including hubs);


Res. 65: Origin Identification

SG 2, SG 3 and, where required, SG 17, to further study the emerging issues of CPND, CLI and origin identification;

Origin non-identification has: Economical impact. Security impact. user inconvenience impact.


Res. 64: IPv4/IPv6, Allocation and Transition

toinstruct SG 2 and 3 to continue to study the allocation and economic aspects of IP addresses, and to monitor and evaluate the allocation of IPv4 addresses which may be still available, returned or unused, in the interests of the developing countries;

to instruct SG 2 and 3 to study IPv6 address allocation and registration for interested members and, especially DCs; (many developing countries want the ITU-T to become a registry of IP addresses).


Proposed Action Plan Instruct Director TSB

expand to cover counterfeit equipment find measures to face out the problem of counterfeiting

strengthen to identify locations for the establishment of testing centres within the next study period

continue to find measures to build the necessary human-resource capacities
