Working with National Regulatory Authorities, One Consortium’s objectives are to allow this industry to:
1) Develop and agree global guidance and a vendor neutral “toolbox” of technologies, best-practices, processes etc. to efficiently combat unwanted/fraudulent communications (calls and messages) originating from abroad.
2) Drive adoption in the industry
3) Build an industry-wide self-governance mechanism to ensure enforcement
Immediate priority & focus is on Voice, with work on Messaging to start in parallel.
One Consortium is hosted by the i3Forum from a legal perspective. One consortium is governed by the same by-laws and policies as i3Forum, and One Consortium membership carries acceptance of that framework. One Consortium members are expected to fully comply, and One Consortium’s leadership has all authority to verify and ensure compliance.
Within that legal framework, One Consortium operates as an independent structure. One Consortium does not report into the i3Forum leadership and makes its own operational decisions. One Consortium is governed by the One Consortium’s Procedures.
In addition to the legal framework and One Consortium’s Procedures, One Consortium working groups operate in accordance to the following “ground rules” covering Professionalism & Courtesy, Openness, Transparency, Fairness, Public and external Communication, Confidentiality, Non Commercial (vendor neutrality), and Antitrust.
