T3 Liaison Officer, Mr.Iimori, sent following explanation about T3’s activity with regard to TCR.

---------------------------------------- 
At the last T2 SWG6 meeting in Kyoungu, we decided not to get into the detail description 
of the documents that T3 is currently working on in order to identify the baseline/service
implementation capabilities. 
 
The reason is that firstly one of the main objectives of the TCR report is to contribute for T1
to make the conformance test items. Since USIM conformance test is done separately from ME, it does not make sense to put the detail technical items on the TCR document.
 
Secondly, T3 was so concerned about the updating process of TCR report that we were not able to keep insisting on our opinion and somehow we needed to compromise with T3 on the content of the description we are going to put on.
 
From these point of views, I attended T3 wrap-up meeting in Kyongu and explained exactly what kind of reply we are expecting to identify baseline or service implementation capabilities.
 
I told T3 that T2 does not want T3 to think about the detail technical items like exact physical numbers or the use of each command,  rather to consider the necessity of each section such as Electrical interface, Physical interface and so on in order to identify the baseline/service implementation capabilities.
 
T3 delegates seemed to understand our intention because T2 is supposed to look at USIM specification from high level and it is clearly separated from T3 specification. Besides T3 does not have to be worried about the updating process any more.  

Just recently finally T2 got reply from T3 about baseline/service implementation capabilities.  As far as the content of LS is concerned, it looks perfect to me and it is worth putting the description on the TCR report.
