ECC Report on Feasibility Study oF ECO hosting a directory of E.164 numbers to facilitate contact between PSAPs in different countries.

Scope EENA developed and hosts a directory of E.164 numbers of PSAPs in 15 European countries to support transnational emergency calls. On 10th April 2015 EENA wrote to the chairmen of WG NaN requesting the CEPT/ECC to consider taking over this directory to place it on a more formal footing. This request was brought to the ECC Plenary on the first available ECC Plenary (Helsinki, June 2015) for consideration. This meeting tasked WG NaN to further examine relevant aspects and report back to the ECC Plenary. At the following ECC Plenary meeting (Ghent, March 2016) WG NaN was tasked to produce and publish a feasibility report, in the form of an ECC Report, on this topic.

The report will

  • analyse the possible use cases for such a directory
  • investigate on the expected support from nationalPSAP authorities/operators in CEPT member states
  • draft the possible terms and conditions for PSAPparticipation
  • address aspects like costs, legal and practicalissues (e.g. liability and competition issues) of hosting such a directory andpotential risks and any other relevant aspects PT ES deems prudent forconsideration.
  • explain how the proposal for ECO management of sucha directory would be within the scope of ECC/ECO remits.
  • outline expected impact on NRAs, Ministries,national PSAP authorities and individual PSAPs, the ECC and ECO.

Comments

Formal request from EENA received. PSAPs and CEPT administrations have been surveyed in 2015 and the results were discussed at the last PT ES meeting (Stockholm 29-30 September 2015). The PSAP community broadly supportive of the initiative and the results of the questionnaire can now be used to inform the feasibility study. A fist draft of the feasibility study will be discussed at the next PT ES meeting (9-10 February 2015).
