i3 v3 Work Items:

  • TTY
  • Address TTY call handling at LNG and LPG
  • Need to address “silent” calls to the PSAP
  • Callback with media other than voice (i.e., Butt Calls: PSAPs would like to initiate a text back advising a call was received by 9-1-1 – if you need help call 9-1-1 or text back)
  • Align w/ATIS on RTT
  • Emergency Call Transfer
  • STA-010.2 indicates 3 options; there has been a request to reduce the choices
  • Have been able to agree on 2, but they have different impacts on PSAP and need to be fully described in v3
  • Location URI Expiration
  • Secondary PSAPs must have the ability to de-reference a location reference that may have come from an EIDD
  • Location URIs need to be active for as long as Standard Operating Procedures require location associated with an emergency call to be available - currently thinking minimum of 30 min. – max of 24 hrs.
  • V3 should describe how long a location URI should be maintained by a LIS
  • Should the location be available only during a call – technical issue?? – legal issue??
  • Test Calls & Testing of Policy Rules
  • V2 discussed need for PSAP to support a test call interface
  • Support for testing Policy Rules needs to be done in v3
  • Test call generator that the PSAP can control with an interface consisting of a web service – PSAP programs the test generator – an automated test process (nena-prr-test)
  • Re-definition of Spatial Interface (SI)
  • Is OGC doc sufficient – will require data mgmt. assistance
  • MSAG Conversion Service
  • Further specification of this service is needed
  • MCS text in draft i3v3 specification is short – is it sufficient
  • MCS will need to be able to re-create ESN info for use by LSRGs
  • Association between street address information and ESN
  • Add ESNs in the MSAG Street Number Exception table in Appendix B to identify the ESN associated with a specific HNO, ST NAME & Community Name.
  • Callback Call Handling
  • Address callback call handling that includes media other than voice
  • Map Database Service
  • Need is for out of area PSAPs to view the local area’s map during a disaster or call processing change
  • Would a web service function work
  • Service Locator
  • Define a way to discover the address (interface) to file a discrepancy report on a service
  • Proposal for a ‘service locator’ which works much like the ‘agency locator’
  • Comment received that since they work the same, why not make them 1
  • Logging Topics
  • Describe a way of controlling the information that must be logged
  • Define which elements generate which log event types
  • EIDD
  • Conveyance of EIDD (separate WG) - i3 will need to monitor those discussions
  • Specification if Incident Data Exchange FE – currently assigned to i3 WG
  • i3 v3 Work Items
  • Minimum standards for PCA
  • Specify interworking between MSRP & TTY to support SMS Text to 9-1-1
  • Specify the value should be populated as the MF “TTT” value delivered to legacy PSAPs via LPGs
  • PSAP call control features
  • Data mappings
  • Define specific policy document structures for each of the policy instances defined for the ESRP
  • Operational considerations regarding the ESRP
  • Clarify term “near real time
  • Reorganization of i3 material into multiple smaller documents – break sections out to make it easier
  • Gateways
  • Logging
  • Additional Data
  • Discrepancy Reporting
  • Security
  • Data Mappings
  • Very controversial as there are a lot of cross references and would require opening another document
  • The WG does not want to break up this document as there are too many cross-references within the document.
  • Rate of making updates would not be an issue as it’s the same people working on this document and it would require them to attend more calls.
  • Searching 1 document is much easier – if things are in multiple docs I could miss something
  • Session participants voiced support for leaving the i3 material in a single document; suggestion to consider some kind of indexing to the various topics covered in the i3 standard

What’s Next / Action Items:

  • Continue work on draft i3v3 specification
  • Contributions on identified v3 topics and other additional v3 topics solicited
