(Study Period 2022 - 2024)
ITU-T Study Group 2 is responsible for studies relating to:
- continued deployment of numbering, naming, addressing and identification (NNAI) requirements and resource assignment, including criteria and procedures for reservation, assignment and reclamation;
- evolution of and specification of use of NNAI requirements and resource assignment, including criteria and procedures for reservation, assignment and reclamation for future telecommunication/ICT architectures, capabilities, technologies, applications and services;
- principles of administering global NNAI resources;
- principles and operational aspects of routing, interworking, number portability and carrier switching;
- principles of service provision, definition and operational requirements for current and future telecommunication/ICT architectures, capabilities, technologies, applications and services;
- operational and management aspects of networks, including network traffic management, designations and transport-related operations procedures;
- operational aspects of interworking between traditional telecommunication networks and evolving and emerging telecommunication/ICT architectures, capabilities, technologies, applications and services;
- evaluation of feedback from operators, manufacturing companies and users on different aspects of network operation;
- management of future telecommunication/ICT architectures, capabilities, technologies, applications and services;
- evolution of the management interface specification methodology;
- specifying interfaces to management systems to support the communication of identity information within or between organizational domains; and
