CCiiT is responsible for studying technicai, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The Plenary Assembly of CC which meets every four years, establishes the topic
5、s for study and approves Recommendations prepared by its Study Groups. The approval of Recommendations by the members of CCITT between Plenary Assemblies is covered by the procedure laid down in CCm Resolution No. 2 (Melbourne, 1988).

8、NAL PRNATE LEASED TELECOMMUNICATION CIRCUITS Preamble This Recommendation provides the general principles and procedures for the implementation of “one-stop shopping” (OSS) for international private leased telecommunication circuits (IPLC). OSS is an optional set of arrangements whereby an Administr
9、ation (the coordinating Administration) handles coordination between a customer and other Administration(s) concerned the participating Administration(s) in order to make it simpler for the customer leasing international private leased telecommunication circuits. Recognizing on one hand that each Ad
10、ministrations internal procedures and billing processes are different and on the other hand that OSS procedures should be harmonized as much as possible, this Recommendation is only a guide to be used by Administrations cooperating in the provision of OSS. Details of procedures should be agreed amon
11、g the Administrations concerned. The implementation of the OSS anangement requires close coordination among the Administrations concerned at all levels, commercial and administrative, as well as technical. The Administrations concerned should endeavour to meet all the specific requirements of the cu
12、stomer including the choice of participating Administration(s). The following procedures are proposed to that end as guidelines for bilateral agreements. 1 Definition of terms The following terms are defined only for the purposes of this Recommendation. 1.1 coordinating Administration The Administra
13、tion, selected by the customer, which coordinates the overail operation, takes the order Erom the customer and coordinates circuit provisioning.

14、ng Administrations operating area. 1.2 participating Administration(s) The Administration(s), other than the coordinating Administration, involved in the actual provisioning of the requested service. 1.3 customer The individual or entity who requests the OSS arrangement, and who signs the order form

19、.3 Coordinated provisioning With this feature, as well as coordinating the installation and testing of the circuit with the participating Administration(s), the coordinating Administration acts as the single point of information for the customer during the provisioning process, keeping the customer
