NENA ICE 9 Event - Participation - Anonymous Survey - 2021
iCERT Members / Industry Professionals:
Several companies, both iCERT Members and others, have recently decided not to participate in this week's NENA ICE 9 Interoperability Collaboration event (
https://www.nena.org/page/NG911_ICE9
).
iCERT supports conformance testing as important to public safety's NG9-1-1 goals, and the ICE program and conformance testing, while different, can be complementary. iCERT would like to better understand if additional adjustments to the form and/or process of such interoperability events may be needed. That's why we're asking for your CONFIDENTIAL / ANONYMOUS feedback. ID information is voluntary and no individual identification will be shared.
Please respond to this quick 5-minute survey to help the public safety technology industry move forward. We'll share anonymously the results. Only one response per company.
Please respond by 5:00pm EST Friday, February 26, 2021. Thanks for your assistance. Stay Safe.

Your answer
[iCERT Members only please respond] ICE provides a "safe harbor" for testing implementation to standards. Do iCERT members see a value in this?
Your answer
[iCERT Members only please respond] ICE provides an opportunity to do interoperability testing consistent with the definition in the iCERT white paper. Conformance testing is a lab exercise that tests against an agreed-to test bed. When would iCERT members want to test interoperability v conformance testing?
