Technical Committee – Network

The Network Committee (NTC) is the hierarchical parent of Working Groups formed to address (non-VoIP) technical issues that impact network elements that are part of the overall E9-1-1 architecture.  As technical issues are identified they are handled via Working Groups that are formed to accomplish specific goals, which usually result in some type of official NENA documentation (Standard, TID, TRD, liaison to other groups etc.).
