[Chapter-delegates] Discussion Paper: An analysis of the “New IP” proposal to the ITU-T

[Olaf Kolkman]

Dear Colleagues,

With the usual cross-post apologies[*].


In the run up to the ITU World Telecommunication Standardization 
Assembly (WTSA-20) later this year there has been some discussion about 
a proposal called the “New IP”. It is positioned as a top-down 
architecture to solve a number of use cases that are currently been 
developed in the ITU-T’s Future Network 2030 Focus Group.

The Internet Society is carefully following the developments in the 
run-up to WTSA-20. We are trying to understand if and how the New IP 
works with the Internet as we know it, if it actually solves problems 
that cannot be solved in the Internet, and, if the ITU-T is developing 
standards, where other standards development organizations (SDOs) have 
change control.

In order to get a sense of the environment we commissioned a discussion 
paper, [“An analysis of the ‘New 
IP’](https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/discussion-paper-an-analysis-of-the-new-ip-proposal-to-the-itu-t/) 
proposal to the ITU-T.” The paper helps inform us and the broader 
community whilst the public debate around these proposals shapes up. It 
also aims to inform and shape the discussion from the Internet’s 
Society’s perspective. Eventually the debate around it will inform our 
position and the potential further evolution of the discussion paper 
itself. Note that the paper documents the Internet Society’s emerging 
opinion, but does not represent a final Internet Society position. 
Instead, we intend it as a means to gather information and insight from 
our community on the topic.


We welcome any feedback on [“An analysis of the ‘New 
IP’](https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/discussion-paper-an-analysis-of-the-new-ip-proposal-to-the-itu-t/)
