NANC OKs Call Authentication Trust Anchor WG Report

The North American Numbering Council approved a report and recommendations from its call authentication trust anchor working group during a virtual meeting Wednesday (see 2107290064). Robert Nelson of the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates and Michigan Citizens Utility Board president voted no because NASUCA wasn't a WG member. "They should have been," Nelson said. The WG found VoIP providers don't face significant barriers to Stir/Shaken implementation because technical solutions are available. It recommended the FCC task the subpanel with further recommending a governance structure for managing the list of call placement services. It also recommended the FCC encourage industry to develop a solution to the session initiation protocol interconnection problem within six to 12 months of the report.
