Mission
The mission of ESIF is to provide a forum to facilitate the identification and resolution of technical and/or operational issues related to the interconnection of wireline, wireless, cable, satellites, Internet and emergency services networks.

Scope
ESIF is an open, technical/operational forum with the voluntary participation of interested parties to identify and resolve recognized interconnection issues. The interest of all members will be served by observing the principles of openness, fairness, consensus, and due process. ESIF will liaise with standards and governmental organizations to apprise them of its deliberations and decisions. Discussions will be focused on the FCC's Wireless Phase I and II mandates, and into other areas of emergency services interconnection.
