New Procedures in API Backlog WG meetings
A number of improvements are under discussion with leadership team of OGW project (Henry), CAMARA Project (Markus), Product Definition WS (Helene) and TSC (Herbert). As of today, the WG adopted agreements are three:
To close the agenda SEVEN DAYS BEFORE the conf. call.
In case a WG participant wants to include a point in the agenda (e.g., present a new API proposal), this participant shall ensure the corresponding issue is opened in Github by then.
Exceptional situations will be treated separately.
New schedule of conf. calls **The meetings are to be held by Linux Foundation (Links available at GitHub and Confluence Backlog front pages)
2nd Thursday of the month (10-11 CET9-10:30 UTC)
4th Thursday of the month (15-16 CET:30 UTC)
Send agenda to TSC mail list, to encourage more TSC member companies to join the call and provide comments when they identify APIs which are of interest for them.
Meeting Minutes within Wiki instead of Github

Recent Updates & Recap
TSC meeting 03rd 17th October:
Repository for DedicatedNetwork CustomerInsights created (as decided last meeting), TelcoIndex naming still under discussion along supporters.was approved as “TelcoIndex” in TSC 2024-09-19)
New API proposals brought to TSC (23):
See informative message https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/tsc/message/230
Scope Enhancement for Network info:
Supported by Vodafone and DT. Filled template: linkModel As A Service Family:
Supported by China Mobile, ZTE, Huawei. Filled template(below). Original issue: 66.
Meant for including more information on current Device Status API, including Network Type (e.g.2/34G, 5GNSA/SA, non-3GPP..)
Decision: Not for decision, only informative as already agreed in both backlog and subproject. Already included into Device Status group scope, as agreed in issue 143 and PR 8.
Consent URL API:
Supported by Telefonica and KPN. Filled template: link. Original issue: 68. Additional material:
linkView file name Out_of_Band Consent Capture URLv2 (6).pptx Meant for providing an out-of-band consent gathering mechanism that can be triggered in a separated moment (apart from API authentication phase) and in an arbitrary device (not only the API-targeted device), enhancing current mechanisms tied to Authcode or CIBA token flows.
Discussed with ICM work Group in particular to define the relationship between this API & ICM
Decision: (not to be treated as no all the affected participants can attend today)
Other topics
GSMA informed CAMARA Backlog that Open Gateway is considering certain Drop2/3/4 APIs that have been stuck in Backlog, “at risk”, due to lack of support. What this means is that GSMA is pushing our MNOs to actively reconsider within the next 2 weeks if they can support them. By raising it in the Backlog meeting we increase the chance to find enough support to “reactivate” progress.
Best Interconnect
For clarity if any API is not a priority for OGW anymore at this point in time, we still expect they can progress independently in CAMARA.
(new) Sandbox proposal from TSC to speed-up the inclusion of new APIs into CAMARA, fostering the development of new APIs and the finalization of API scope definition.

New API proposal - IMEI Fraud
The API template is available PR#64

This API was presented already and included in an existing group but no work was done so discontinued. Now Rebecca is presenting the proposal seeking for support
DeviceCheck GSMA proposal overlaps this
IMEI Fraud will offer more information to developers than GSMA Device Check service.
MTN and other supporters should meet with GSMA to discuss if proceeding with this API within CAMARA still makes sense.
Request for meeting already sent by GSMA to MTN
Outcome of meeting awaited before deciding if this API proposal should proceed in CAMARA
Pending to be confirmed by MTN, AP to be raised.
Eric Murray : (IMEI status) service related, but GSMA is ok for this proposal.
ACTION: Pending from MTN for moving on with this API. Maybe to be included in the Device Identifier family.

83. Additional material:
View file name MaaS Introduction-ChinaMobile.pdf Family proposal: New CAMARA Family to manage Model As a Service features. Includes different APIs that enable a end-to-end management of an AI model that can be exposed to third parties, with following functionalities:
Decision: no comment - Reminder: This API will go in the sandbox. Approved !
Capability and Runtime Restrictions:
Proposed by TMUS. Filled template: link. Original issue: 22. Additional material:
View file name Capabilities_and_Runtime_Restrictions_Update.pptx Not API proposal per-se, but a capability that could allow developers know which optional features are supported by the telco operator before an API is called (This is a complementary API). Proposal is to create a mechanism to report
Could be considered as a transversal feature for any API, as per original CAMARA Service Management API APIs.
Question from diego.gonzalezmartinez is this an API? Response: yes to request subscription in order to get notification.
For diego.gonzalezmartinez we should have small API and all the API implemented. Having same API with different level of implementation is an adoption issue. We can have exceptions.
Is it valuable for a developer to discover on the fly an API limitation? Diego is doubtful about the rationale.
Ludovic Robert and Mark Cornall echoed Diego perspective.
G. Murat Karabulut provides an illustration where depending on the (US) States the API may request distinct attributes list. Another example is documented for KYC Match in which
idDocumentis mandatory in some regions.
Shilpa Padgaonkar : let’s leverage the sandbox capabilities to let this API grow up. Sandbox gives a chance to develop API idea.
Jose Luis Urien Pinedo raises the point about the synchronization with the TMF operate API - The restrictions should be also defined in this flow.
Comment: Concern was expressed that such an API, even if developed as a sandbox, might give the wrong impression to external viewers of CAMARA was proceeding - in this case the concern that API providers will only implement a subset of an API’s functionality and use this API to advertise that once the API consumer has access. Some thought should be given as to how sandboxed APIs are to be “isolated” from incubated APIs to avoid giving this impression.
Decision: Ask to G. Murat Karabulut to provide some examples where this API will be useful. To be revisited during the after-next TSC meeting .
Consent URL API:
Supported by Telefonica and KPN. Filled template: link. Original issue: 68. Additional material:
linkView file name Out_of_Band Consent Capture URLv2 (6).pptx Meant for providing an out-of-band consent gathering mechanism that can be triggered in a separated moment (apart from API authentication phase) and in an arbitrary device (not only the API-targeted device), enhancing current mechanisms tied to Authcode or CIBA token flows.
Discussed with ICM WG in particular to define the relationship between this API & ICM
Open discussion, as lack of consensus around AuthCode authentication mechanisms (https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/issues/215 )
Axel Nennker strongly disagrees with this API rationale
Shilpa Padgaonkar Probably the issue comes from the fact that initial assumption is we use only Network-based authentication.
Comment: The discussion within ICM #215 indicates there may be a lack of clarity as to which of CAMARA’s “guidelines” are normative and which are only informative and hence not mandatory. TSC may need to look at formalising rules on this regarding documentation language, layout and approval processes.
Decision: The discussion must continue in ICM first. No decision at this stage.
