Changes to clause 13.2: Access to relay services (from clause 13.9.1 of TR 103 708)
Proposed changes:
In clause 13.2 about access to relay services, the expression "not be prevented" should be replaced with "be supported" because invoking a relay service in a call requires support of specific actions by the ICT, especially when the invocation is made seamlessly so that the call provides functional equivalence with calling between users of the same modality. The actions may for example include connection or the parties and the relay service in a multiparty call with media distribution specifically designed for the type of relay service and its mode of operation.
The results of these proposed changes can be previewed in Annex A of TR 103 708 ( tr_103708v010101p.pdf tr_103708v010101p.docx).
