The Committee spent the remainder of Thursday and all of Friday identifying and discussing issues to be addressed in the guideline development process. Telecommunications equipment should be construed broadly. Keep the service in mind when developing guidelines. The service and the equipment should be compatible. Keep in mind how the guidelines will be applied and to whom.

The technology is changing rapidly. The guidelines should be flexible. Guidelines should be performance based. Performance shouldn't matter whether it is achieved by software or hardware. There should be alternative methods for solving problems.
